Gary Franklin informed Cal earlier this week that he intends to transfer.

“He has dreams to play in the NBA and doesn’t feel like he’ll be able to do it here,” coach Mike Montgomery told the San Jose Mercury News.

Franklin was starting for the Golden Bears, but he didn't feel as though he was being groomed for an NBA career.

Montgomery said Franklin told him he needed to play point guard to enhance his chances of playing at the next level.

He was averaging 8.2 points on 29.7 percent shooting as a two-guard.
