Maverick Frankera Ahanmisi (born July 17, 1991) is an American born Filipino-Nigerian professional basketball player who plays for the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Ahanmisi spent a year at Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley, California, but he graduated from Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita, California in 2009. As a senior, he averaged 20.2 points per game and finished his career as all-time leading scorer and three-point shooter at GVHS. He played AAU basketball at Branch West Basketball Academy under the tutelage of Bob Gottlieb. In 2010, he signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Minnesota.
Ahanmisi played college ball at University of Minnesota, an NCAA Division I school, from 2010-2014, mostly in a reserve role. He's a known sparkplug off the bench and usually leads the team's second unit. He helped the Golden Gophers win the National Invitational Tournament title in 2014. The Gophers are coached by Richard Pitino, son of coach Rick Pitino of Louisville.
In his four years in Minnesota, he averaged 2.8 points, 1 rebound, and 38% field goal average.
In 2014, Ahanmisi decided to leave the United States after college and take his basketball career with him in the Philippines, by playing for the Cafe France Bakers in the PBA Developmental League. In his career debut in the Philippines, he made his presence felt right away, scoring 10 points in an 18-0 run in the first quarter that keyed in a win for Cafe France. In the 2015 PBA D-League Foundation Cup eliminations, he led the team in scoring, averaging 13.9 points per game, while also contributing 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per outing. He helped guide Café France to its first ever PBA-D-League championship by ruling the Foundation Cup.
