New and fresh talents will have to wait for their debut in the pro-league as first-round pick Jason Brickman and second-round pick Vince Magbuhos are still wrapping up their stints in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL). Other draftees Ethan Galang, Ladis Lepalam, and Jeff Comia, on the other hand, are still in contention for roster spots.
CHARGING FOR EASL DOMINANCE
Meralco is not only gunning for Philippine domination this year as it is putting its best foot forward when it returns to the East Asia Super League (EASL) by acquiring the services of multi-decorated PBA imports Justin Brownlee and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
Brownlee and Hollis-Jefferson will be teaming up, too, with Puerto Rican Ismael Romero, a move that will bill the team as a formidable title contender in the regional competition.
The Bolts, the only PBA representative this year, is also exploring the idea of adding an Asian import in its roster for the champions league of professional basketball in East Asia.
