the main reason why I was hoping "if" he was athletic is, I am expecting him to dominate the stat line for USC - pts/rebound/assists/blks...they need somebody to help Llanto since he can't do it alone, Nino Ramirez successfully did that in spurts but not constantly or their roles were reversed meaning he was the main guy and Llanto backed him up for this season....makatawa lang ko sa gisulti sa 1 of the referees who officiated the finals - "gipaunduyunan ra na sila sa UV", sad to say as a basketball fan, it's an insult to the oppossing team....no matter how we look at it (even though the series reached to its climaxed, I can attest UV never played their A game or their hearts out for 40mins in every game of the series...those 2 games they lost and the 1 game they had a big deficit, it seems like they were lackadaisical or no zest at all to play the series...when people or the UV bosses' were pressuring them, they were just lucky to be able to comeback and win it all...no matter how others view it as a tight series, I still think it wouldn't be a similar outcome if they didn't belittled their opponents capacity).....
We should be more concerned about USC's gameplay as a team rather than a single player rack up and fill up the stats sheets every game.
Regarding the statements made about UV toying USC in the series, it's not quite surprising. UV is the 6 time CeSAFI champions before the 3-2 win over USC and everybody is looking too high to them. People who understand basketball can really tell that UV too did work their butts out to etch a 3-2 win. Boy Cabahug even lost his cool in one game.LOL. No matter what fans (maybe UV fans) say, pretty sure the whole UV Green Lancers camp were alarmed about what happened last season, losing twice and almost losing the series against USJ-R in the semifinals and USC extending the finals series to it's high.
