One of the main reasons why Liaoning didn't sign Franklin was that Franklin's playing style didn't conform to Liaoning team, compared with Stephenson. Although Franklin's offensive ability is very strong, and he has fought in CBA for many years, he also has the title of triple double king. However, Franklin still can't lead the Liaoning team to win the championship. Although the cost performance ratio is relatively high, its strength is still not as good as Stephenson's.

Although Stephenson finally signed a contract with Liaoning with an annual salary of $4 million, his strength is indeed much stronger than Franklin's. Stephenson used to be the main rotation player in the NBA and scored 43 points in the Liaoning team. If the two really collide, then I believe Franklin will still be significantly weaker.

And we must know that Liaoning team wants to compete for the season championship very much. So at this time, the Liaoning team must include some very strong players, and he did not choose Franklin, who was relatively mediocre in strength. After all, you get what you pay for. Although Stephen Sun's annual salary is very high, his present performance is completely in line with his worth.

Although Stephenson is expensive, it is also expensive. He has never played CBA before, but his style and comprehensive ability are very suitable for the rhythm of CBA. But Stephenson also has his own weakness, which is easy to get emotional, which is also very easy to be used by opponents. Therefore, if Liaoning team wants Stephenson to have a better performance in the future, it must control its emotions, otherwise it will be very fatal if it appears in the playoffs.
