The 50 points explosion of Stanley Pringle against Columbia Dyip is only the beginning of his rise to stardom.
I am pretty sure majority of the PBA fans look at Globalport as Pringle's team, just like how NBA fans see Houston Rockets as a franchise built around James Harden.
The resemblance of Stanley Pringle and James Harden doesn't stop there. The two are also famous because of their beards.
In terms of playing style, they still resemble each other. Both are heavy ball-handlers who has playmaking chops to create for others and pull-up from the outside.
And of course, both are crazy about taking three-pointers. In his 50 points game, Stanley attempted more three-pointers (16) than two-pointers (14). And just like James, Stanley is also an accurate shooter.
He completed nine of his 16 three-point attempts.
Behind the limelight is another terrific performance. 12 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks were tallied by Sean Anthony. Yes, he got five or more on four of the counting stats.
And those kinds of statline was the specialty of Draymond Green in the NBA.
Let us play a little game. Tell me who is Draymond and who is Sean?
Player A: 18.9 Pts | 10.3 Rebs | 4.1 Asts | 2.2 Stls | 36% 3FG
Player B: 11.0 Pts | 7.6 Rebs | 7.3 Asts | 1.4 Stls | 30.1% 3FG
Okay, before I reveal, let us make one thing clear. I am not telling you that Sean Anthony is as good as Draymond! Do not be insane to even think about that!
My point is simple, in the PBA, Sean Anthony is the closest resemblance of Draymond!
So, which one is Sean Anthony? He is Player A.
In short, Sean is more of a scorer than Draymond. While Draymond provides more playmaking than Sean.
Other than that, both are great in filling-up statsheets, providing energy, making hustle plays and defend any position in the court.
When Terrence Romeo left, we all thought that Stanley is now alone. He is not. Actually, someone has risen from the shadows who can be a better partner to The Beard.
