Three Reasons to Watch the Asia League's Terrific 12

Basketball tournaments continue to sprout all throughout the world and in Asia, a new short-tournament concept has arrived!

The Terrific 12 will feature 12 teams from different parts of Asia; Shandong Hi-speed Golden Stars, Xinjiang Flying Tigers, Zhejiang Guangsha Lions and Guangzhou Long Lions from CBA (China), Chiba Jets, Ryukyu Golden Kings, Nagoya Diamond Dolphins from B.LEAGUE (Japan), Samsung Thunders and Mobis Phoebus from KBL (South Korea), Fubon Braves and Yulong Luxgen Dinos from SBL (Chinese Taipei) and PBA D League All Stars Ieco Green Warriors from the PBA (Philippines).

It will be played this September 18 to 23, 2018. 

As you can see above, Philippines only have one representative. So, why do you need to watch the run of our iECO Green Warriors?

The Potential Top Pick of the 2019 Draft

Joshua Munzon is the name. Munzon has been as good as Bobby Ray Parks in the Asean Basketball League. In his two years career in the ABL, he has averaged 21.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 28% 3FG. 

Munzon is the kind of wing that all teams need. He can do almost everything. He is not afraid to shoot. And he is a versatile defender. 

NBA Players

There will be five former NBA players that will play in Macau. Leading the charge is Al Jefferson who has NBA career averages of 15.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. 

You will also see Jeff Ayres, Marreese Speights, Andrew Goudelock and Donatas Motiejunas. Speights or better known as Mo Buckets, won an NBA title in 2015 with Golden State Warriors. While Jeff Ayres played six seasons of NBA basketball. 

2018 PBA Draft Hopefuls

Other than Munzon, the iECO Green Warriors will feature a lot of young amateurs that are planning to join the upcoming PBA draft. I am talking about Avery Scharer, Ron Dennison, Matt Salem, Kris Porter and Kyle Toth.

That is basically a starting five. Scharer is an experienced point guard. Dennison is a proven wing defender. Salem is an athletic forward. And Porter and Toth are versatile bigs. You want to have a sneak peak of the possible targets of your favorite team? Watch Terrific 12.
