PBA Team Power Ranking 3.0: Is Magnolia with Abueva a top 3 team?

 


With the Calvin Abueva to Magnolia trade, we need to update our power ranking. 

#12 Blackwater Elite (#12 Previously)

#11 Terrafirma Dyip (#11 Previously)

#10 NLEX Road Warriors (#10 Previously)
The way coach Yeng Guaio was speaking in his interviews, it is pretty clear that they will do everything to have a good run this season. I do want to see first their draftees before pushing them up.

#9 Northport Batang Pier (#8 Previously)
I think this is the best spot for a team that is being rumored that they will trade their best player, Standhardinger.

#8 Phoenix Super LPG (#6 Previously)
From an up-and-coming modern contender into a team with a very bleak future. I hope Phoenix can overcome their problems, financially.

#7 Rain or Shine Elasto Painters (#7 Previously)
I was not a fan of coach Caloy Garcia's proclamation that James Yap will be their main man. I do not think he should be. And I do not think that he can.

#6 Alaska Aces (#9 Previously)
I am a fan of Alaska's decision to grab Gab Banal and Yousef Taha. With these two signings, I think Aces now has a very good depth.

#5 Meralco Bolts (#5 Previously)
I am really excited to see how coach Norman Black will be utilized a lot of versatile players in Newsome, Black, Quinto and Belo. I hope, they play something modern.

#4 Magnolia Hotshots (#4 Previously)
In terms of talent, I think Magnolia managed to push themselves closer to the top 3. But, I still need to see them play before I conclude that they deserved to be at the top 3.

#3 TNT Tropang Giga (#3 Previously)
The return of coach Chot Reyes could give them a much better chance of keeping Ray Parks. I also believed that coach Chot can still upgrade his drive-and-kick scheme to fit his team.

#2 Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel (#2 Previously)
So, Greg and Japeth are already practicing together. I hope Greg really developed a three-point shot. That could be a game-changer for their tandem.

#1 San Miguel Beermen (#1 Previously)
 I wonder how healthy Junemar Fajardo is. If he is not that healthy, I hope coach Leo Austria will continue to run some plays through Moala Tautuaa.
