Highly-touted Fil-American guard Stephen Holt is not coming in a unanimous choice as the top pick for Terrafirma as head coach Johnedel Cardel looks to prioritize young and agile big men to plug the hole in the middle for his team.
Cardel was even looking forward at seeing the potential of top big men prospects in Keith Datu and Brandon Bates during the two-day draft combine but the two skipped the proceedings due to valid excuses
Cardel, however, is hoping to get a hand on young quality big men in his two picks – first and 12th pick – in the first round. “Talented guy, age 31, 32 talagang ready to play na but for us dapat medyo bata pa like yung sila Bates nga diba. Sina Tuffin pwede mag ano sa team namin para lumalim yung bench namin,” he added.
Aside from them, guys like Luis Villegas and Zav Lucero didn’t play as well as they are still recovering from respective injuries.
