Teams need to realize Oftana is a rebounding wing, all thanks to his years of playing the 4 spot in Beda. He might be primarily a corner guy (by design) but if you don’t put a body in him, about 8 times out of 10, he’d go for the putback or offensive rebound. For this window, I think he’s got a very good chance to make the cut, and if I were Chot, I’d select him. We could use some length and the rebounding from the wing position. His 3 ball would come in handy, too, esp one designated shooter in Pogoy got injured.
I wish we could accomodate both Oftana and Tolentino, but knowing Coach Chot he’d rather load up on guards than lengthy wings. I could still remember Navarro’s skill set gone to waste.
