GlobalPort hires third import this conference
Currently on a three-game losing skid, GlobalPort is hoping that third time’s a charm as it parades its third import this 2016 Oppo PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
Shawn Taggart will be tasked to resuscitate a skidding Batang Pier squad aching to recapture the thunder they had from last season.
The 6-foot-9 import is a former Memphis Tiger who has had stints in the NBA D-League, Israel, Spain, China, Turkey, and his latest, in Qatar with Al Jaysh.
Taggart, 30, will make his debut on Saturday against Alaska.
He will be GlobalPort’s third reinforcement this conference, after Brian Williams and stand-in import Calvin Warner.
The Batang Pier are currently on the outside looking in on the top eight with their 2-4 card.
