since we’re on a long break, imma talk about the upcoming draft since everyone’s talking about it
kymani ladi to nlex is basically a lock imo can’t see any reason why they wouldn’t draft him unless there’s another talent they’re eyeing, but as of rn that’s a sure thing.
pj palacielo to rain or shine is an absolute match made in heaven. if he somehow falls to the 9th pick, he solves a lot of their problems. that would be a huge steal for ros.
hot take: i don’t see nic cabañero being as effective in the pba as he is rn in the mpbl. seen this kinda thing before when we drafted jeron teng back in the day. unless he’s HIM, i just don’t see the hype yet.
just so y’all know, me & @MilkMan4L sat through YEARS of jeron, balanza, melecio, & etc… hoops 😭 y’all have no idea what our eyes had to endure. so if anyone thinks we don’t deserve this semis berth, respectfully, we’ve paid our dues in ways y’all could never imagine lmaooo
