Robert Bolick might be forced to return to Northport and finish this conference, just so that he can secure a letter of clearance from the PBA.

However, it is yet to be seen if his contract offer in Taiwan “will wait for him”.

And he did signed a one conference deal

Ginebra starting the game against ROS with an athletic 5 of Iskati, Gray, Malonzo, Brownlee and Japeth

That's an all-athletic 5 right there.
Then imagine coming off the bench are the likes of Pringle, Tenorio, Standhardinger.
Wala kang itulak-kabigin sa mga players na yan.

This is (and should be) a model Philippine team. Tall, athletic, and versatile wings from 2, 3, and 4, a rim protector in Japeth, a versatile big in CStand, a do-it-all 6'1" guard in Scottie, and other players who can fill roles like LA, Pinto, Pringle, and Aljon.

Antonio Hester to replace Eric McCree

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/m...230205-fbfirst

Hester previously suited up for Terrafirma Dyip in the same conference last season, and is playing for the Zamboanga Valientes in the Asean Basketball League (ABL).

But the Valientes were generous to release Hester, who is currently in Malaysia with the team.

SPIN.ph learned Hester is set to fly back to Manila this week and start practicing with the Hotshots as replacement for Eric McCree.

Magnolia went 0-2 with McCree going to its game against undefeated San Miguel on Sunday.

Did anyone ever say Yuta and Rui played in Bleague?

Everything has its pros and cons. With that many teams the B league is better off with more imports.

Just making sure that we are talking about BLeague players. The thing is why the locals are not improving unlike leagues with multiple imports. Even KBL is not also advancing in their development with 2 imports system, or Middle east teams.

I am all for having more imports, if the ultimate goal is improving the level of play. The Serie A (Italy) allows as many as 5 foreign players and their league is one of the toughest in the whole world. The displaced players are simply relegated to Serie B.

Sir, I think the ideal setup for this fantasy proposal(for now) of yours is to allow our Naturalized guys like Douthit, Blatche, Brownlee and those deserving FSA if the propose revision becomes a reality based on some very reliable insider who’ve seen how successful that 2022 Commissioner Cup and those grand daddy are now contemplating some international flavor in the league moving forward.

Jonathon Simmons swept his 4 game assignment

His replacement, Wayne Selden, is no slouch either. Not a long time NBAer like Simmons but still a former NBA player and a consensus five star top prospect.

Jonathon Simmons swept his 4 game assignment

Reminds me of the KJ McDaniels stint with NLEX where they were a contender. Then suddenly left because of family reasons.

Premise is, only the best keep their spots. But I wouldn't want the Navarro/Oftana/Gabe types, the Malonzo types, and the Tamayo/Mason/Balti types to be displaced either. There has to be a balance between increasing the level of play and development. Maybe I'll have to watch for the UAAP muna, since that (and other collegiate and HS leagues) the first step, or one of the earlier steps, to develop players.

When you said Serie A and Serie B, I think of football. Hahahahahahaha.
