MANILA, Philippines: Incoming Blackwater second-year big man Ato Ular considered it a blessing to contend for the PBA Season 47 Rookie of the Year, which Converge slot man Justin Arana won during last Sunday's Annual Leo Awards.
For one, the 6-foot-4 Ular had to endure a woeful season with the Bossing, who only won nine of 34 games, missing the playoffs in two of the three conferences in the process.Still, the big man out of Letran delivered impressive numbers in his freshman year after averaging 11.2 points and 9.1 rebounds.
The offseason was abuzz with different updates from his team as well, especially since team owner Dioceldo Sy and Cariaso personally, met and offered Pingris a spot as big man's coach with the Bossing.Though the former many-time PBA All-Defensive team member has yet to accept the team's offer, the thought of possibly learning from Pingris excites Ular.
