In my recent ranking of the imports of the 2023 PBA Governors' Cup, I put Jamaal Franklin at the top. His production is really on another level.
But unfortunately, Converge may have found another drama about their import before the start of the playoffs. Remember when they benched Quincy Miller before the playoffs in the Commissioner's Cup?
This time around, Franklin decided to make a show by only attempting five shots against Barangay Ginebra! It was a very important game for Converge.
According to an insider of Spin.ph, Franklin was told by the coaching staff or management to distribute the ball better.
It seems like he did not received it well.
Now, coach Aldin Ayo hinted of a change at the end of the game. He did not directly said that it is about Franklin but with what transpired, people are assuming that it will be Franklin.
It seems like Franklin is not easy to handle like Justin Brownlee. Nevertheless, I do not think it is right for their aspiration of winning the championship if they will replace the #1 import in the elimination round.
I think the best move is to try and work out the situation instead of replacing him knowing that they do not have a game to play already in the elimination round.
