PULLMAN – Washington State forward Robert Franks is joining a growing list of underclassmen who’ve chosen to end their college careers prematurely in order to pursue a lifelong dream of playing in the NBA.
Franks, a 6-8 junior who was awarded the Pac-12’s Most Improved Player honor in 2018 after nearly tripling his scoring average, announced on Twitter Monday he will enter the 2018 NBA Draft. Franks is entering the Draft without an agent, according to his post, but says he plans on signing one. Players who hire an agent aren’t afforded the option to return to school, even if they go undrafted.
