Free agent forward Robert Franks has signed with the Brisbane Bullets of Australia’s National Basketball League, the team announced in a press release.
Franks, who went undrafted in 2019, played seven games on two 10-day contracts with the Magic last season. He played 14.4 minutes per contest, averaging 6.1 points and 2.0 rebounds on 46% shooting.
“His unique skillset and versatility provides everything we’ve been looking for at this position,” Bullets general manager Sam Mackinnon said. “I spoke to Robert yesterday, he’s looking forward to joining his teammates and meeting all the Bullet fans. He’s hungry and motivated to take the next step with us.”
Prior to signing his 10-day deals, Franks inked an Exhibit 10 contract with Orlando and spent time with the team’s G League affiliate. He averaged 12.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game across those 14 contests with the Lakeland Magic.
NBL is getting bigger and bigger every year. Can’t wait until nba players instead of going to China or Europe come to us
can’t believe that it’s relaxed enough there to name the team bullets. reassuring.
The gun-related death rates per 100,000 people is almost 14 times lower in Australia than it is in the US and people own about 9 times fewer guns there as well. So I guess there aren’t all the mass/school shootings in Australia that are such a huge problem here in the US, I guess that’s why they can be more relaxed there about guns.
Rather the bullets then the Brisbane Basketball Team
Ya and they force people to live on their homes and take a shot because they have no guns. I will live in Chicago before Australia
