      JB wasn't up to par all game. That's probably since the Christmas game against Mags.

          Maybe he will thought he will get a chance to play with converge since he has good relationship with the bosses there.. luckily Terrafirma/SMC agreed to trade him to Converge... Surprisingly SMC/Dyip agrees to trade him.. maybe they knew that Heading is not interested to play with SMC... One of the cases a player doesn't want to play with SMC, we all know majority of Filipino ballers wants to play with SMC teams... Hoping Dave will be free sooner... He doesn't deserved to be hostage like that...

          • The biggest challenge for Northport is not if they will make it to the semis or finals this conference.. the challenge for them is that they can keep that core for atleast 3 years? We all know Northport still a farm team despite winning this conference because for sure guys like Tolentino, Munzon and Navarro will be traded sooner to any SMC teams in next couple of conferences... The whole PBA followers watching you Northport!!! All we want is to keep the core for couple of years and make it competitive even against smc and mvp teams...

                Salary wise maybe (especially if they are in the rich teams)... Hehehehehe...and he's with the team who are really serious to win in the PBA.. So it's not about the level of competition nowadays, it's all about money and good environment... Converge is a good destination for young prospects...

                  Can replace both Perez and Newsome tbh

                      Happy for the guy. He is relatively young compared to the Barefield's, Holt's or William's. He got a lot of flak in his rookie year. But on hindsight the long adjusment period should have been expected. First he was good offensively but not G league level like the aforementioned. Secondly, he is more of a defense oriented guy. Now with his offense catching up with his defense he is becoming a thorn in the league. North Port doesnt even have reliable point guards and yet their top of the league. Munzon's growth has a lot to do with that.

                      I like Bonnie Tan's style. He lets Navarro bring up the ball when the guard gets stopped. He also gives Navarro a greenlight to shoot from outside. That step in 3 against Brownlee was pretty impressive. Navarro is not as skilled as Oftana or Tolentino but given a good setup he can hit the open shot and obviously he is taller, longer and a better defender than both.

                        A lot of Filam guards take a long time to adjust locally. They have to re-learn how to create space because the "freedom of movement" that is given in the US doesn't apply here.

                        If their game is built on skill and speed, they'll have a hard time at first when physical defense hits them. Attacking the basket is also different, it's not like the nba where guys dunking will not be dangerously challenged.

                          Agree sir RDs. I know Munzon is different from the barefield/mikey williams archetype because he is not as ball-dominant as those guys but i was surprised that he can be a defense-inclined player like this.

                              Speaking of Lucero, that's another player who suffered an ACL tear yet with the way he has been playing for Magnolia, it looks he will become Magnolia's No. 1 local player in a year or 2.
                              "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

                                He's playing with Jerom Lastimosa, another guy who tore his ACL.
