Did Trollano, Rios et al. shoot since their Adamson days? If I remember, Trollano does have a post game.

Trollano played power forward in Adamson and he was a good shooter that time. He was used mainly as a cutter there. Same with Rios. There are only two players with the same length as Rios and Trollano that were licensed to shoot threes under Austria - Janus Lozada and Roider Cabrera.
Yes they have shooting. Trollano had better efficiency now. So Coach Leo was open to shooting big men especially Bono. That guy could have stayed in the paint and he will overpower most C at that time but he was allowed consistently to shoot from 3pts.
Lozada was the guy that was featured on Wish ko lang or something right? The one who used to wear tattered shoes to play basketball. That Adamson squad was legit. Even the bench guys are as good as starters. Too bad the only sure wins that time were against UP.
I think Bono was decent in the post but he was still overweight. Making him focus on the paint would sap his energy. At 6'5 he was a bit undersized for center. I think 6'7 Rabeh was the Ateneo center then. Even in pickup games you get that undersized center who is immovable on defense but too short to score in the paint but has a good outside shot. Bono was decent in the paint but too overweight to be called dominant. Without his shooting he would be huffing and puffing all game long. It was his outside shooting that made him special.
In 2010 and 2011, Adamson was a contender. The core of Manyara, Galinato, Camson, Colina, Lozada, Nuyles, Alvarez, Canada, Cabrera, Brondial, and Rios. That was an 11-man deep team team.
By far, the 2010's was the strongest Adamson we see since 2000. 5 final four appearances during the last decade.
Its just unfortunate that Jericho Cruz was not able to join this batch as he was red-shirting for two years.
Trollano took also a long route before playing. He spent two years in UE before being cut by Lawrence Chongson. He spent a year red shirting again before finally suiting up for Adamson.
He was cut by Chongson? I remember him bragging about his new recruits in PEX which includes Trollano and Frando. I thought he was let go since Chongson was replaced.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Bono really undersized? Like 6'3 at best. Like Jervy Cruz

I think that Converge should stick with Rusbatch. Funny it seems but despite his so-so numbers, his teammates played well. They may benefit from not having a dominant import, although I know that it is too early to tell.

IRC the Franz Pumaren team was also strong. It was filled with long switchable guys. I remember feeling relieved that the Desiderio Maroons was able to defeat them in the Final four.
When Desiderio was a UP hero. Now...
VAWC is waving, is he still with chooks 3x3?
Ninong Ronald to the rescueI think so, yeah.
