Any leads on Kaden Puletua? I saw Chambers followed him on instagram during the global hoops.

Taft bound. Not sure which side tho.

Probably UP

Article did say Maga is okay with transferring within the UAAP as he would still have 1 year remaining anyway due to his age, and he fits UP’s team needs timeline.

He basically wasnt playing last season so he profiles as the type of recruit that may not get another D1 offer.

would likely transfer to other d1 schools, don't think he will go transfer portal if he will play here in PH, though there is a possibility if no one will recruit him there

looks like DLSU needs to wait lol, transferred to Bucknell University, still a D1 school playing in the Patriot League Conference

If lebron lopez manages to have a reliable outside shot he should be an ideal gilas player at the wing spot. Could have a breakout year this coming season.

Ateneo really needs Porter to fix his acads.

Francis is always expected to have a breakout season every year after his rookie campaign. However, for some reason, he never manages to deliver. He remains the same decent player he has always been, despite the hype from fans who believe he should be dominating the UAAP, especially after his Gilas stint in 2021.

This year might be it for him, with jd and qmb gone. Up cant solely rely on the nuns boys if they want to repeat. They need their wings like lebron, belmonte bayla to step up especially since there's gonna a big hole offensively in the post. I think its all mental for him at this point.

Against a full forced benilde squad today(no sanchez and ynot tho), he seems to have the right balance aggressiveness and disicpline in attacking the blazer's defense. He was clearly the best up maroon out there today leading a shorthanded up team to a 30 point win.

Unfortunately local bigs alter and gani struggled against liwag today. Especially disappointed in gani, he seems to have regressed a bit.

Never manages to deliver? Oh how easily people forget the clutch 3 he made in Game 3 against La Salle. Lopez's three was the title-clinching shot. Lopez is a clutch performer and UAAP champ.

Yeah, clutch three—after a whole game of turnovers and misses, lol.

We all know he would've gotten all the blame if they had lost that game.

He had 12 points on 36% shooting along with 9 turnovers. The next teammate with the most turnovers had 2, by the way.

But since he made the three, he won’t get any criticism. They wouldn’t have even needed that shot if he had just played a decent game that night.

Tell me you only watch highlights without telling me you only watch highlights.

Lopez was Season 86 RoY. Season 87 was his second year.

Lopez was Season 86 RoY. Season 87 was his second year.

Yeah, last year and this year are considered to be his breakout seasons.

Even his rookie year was seen as going to be a breakout year because of the accolades and stints he had prior to his UAAP career (Gilas and the cancelled Overtime and NBL stints).

I think people miscalculated his ability because of competitive opportunities that unfortunately did not push through (Overtime and NBL).

The FSA looks promising and played well at the end. The passes he made I don't think you can teach. And he has 5 more years to develop.

I think they're set at the guards and wing positions so yes an extra big would be good.

I like how they're developing their young players without relying too much on old transfers. They're probably the youngest team and is already looking dangerous.

Lopez averaged 13.6 ppg, 3.0, 1.0 spg, and 3.0 bpg during the Finals while hitting a huge three in front of KQ. But sure, go ahead and cherry pick his 9 turnovers to support your narrative that Lopez is a terrible player.

Tell me you're a Lopez hater without telling me you're a Lopez hater. lol
