GLOBALPORT EYES BREAKOUT SEASON WITH SOLID CORE
GlobalPort team owner Mikee Romero is confident they would be competitive with a solid nucleus of players for PBA Season 40.
Two months before the opening of the next PBA season, Romero himself announced the composition of their core even before sealing a trade deal with Alaska involving veteran player Eric Menk.
GlobalPort dealt the 2005 PBA MVP to the Aces for two second round picks in the coming annual Rookie Draft.
“To the GlobalPort fans. At last, we have our first eight solid players,” said Romero on his Facebook account.
“First Five: Alex Cabagnot (PG), Ronjay Buenafe (SG), Keith Jensen (F), Jay Washington (PF) and Yancy de Ocampo (C). Terrence Romeo (SG), Kelly Nabong (C) and our 1st round pick…Stanley Pringle???. Relievers would be Mark Macapagal, Jewel Ponferada, Carlo Sharma. We might get one or two second round picks,” Romero added.
Menk is suiting up for his fourth team in the local pro league following stints with Tanduay, Barangay Ginebra and GlobalPort.
It could well be his swan song playing a 14th PBA season at 40. (SB)
