The Cayce Roundball Classic was my first chance to see Franklin on the court in some time and it was in a Lakewood Gator Jersey. Darius set up shop in the paint and mostly worked around the posts on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end, he cleaned the glass, walled up around the basket, and caused havoc for ball handlers with hard and high hedges. On the offensive end, Franklin showed that he could work with his back to the basket or face up and work off the dribble with a solid finish and soft touch. Darius put up 11 Points and 9 Rebounds in a matchup with Cross Creek.
