Nlex vs Globalport (10-21-14)_header(1)

Stanley Pringle gets his first taste of PBA action when GlobalPort plays NLEX Tuesday in the 2015 PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Led by their three lethal guards Alex Cabagnot, Terrence Romeo, and Pringle, the Batang Pier are looking to make the most of their new season after a forgettable past two conferences.

And if we use the offseason as a benchmark, Pringle really is worth the hype, as the number one overall pick in the 2014 PBA Draft has impressed scouts with his speed, court vision and athleticism.

Batang Pier coach Pido Jarencio also tapped a badly-needed big man in Nonoy Baclao to help their cause in the paint.

But Baclao and the other GlobalPort bigs will be tested to the hilt with the ageless Asi Taulava on the opposing side for NLEX.

Taulava, a contender for the MVP plum last season despite being the league’s oldest player, will be the rock for the Road Warriors, and he will be joined by the comebacking Niño Canaleta, Mac Cardona, and Jonas Villanueva.

Game is at 4:15 p.m. (RL)
