One of the most interesting decisions in terms of choosing import this year was that of TNT. They decided to let NLEX sign their former import, who is a legit NBA veteran, KJ McDaniels.
On the other hand, San Miguel Beermen decided to sign a veteran International import instead of going for a big name.
So, did NLEX and San Miguel make the right decisions?
NLEX - KJ McDaniels
KJ has 148 NBA games under his belt and he averaged 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.6 assist, 41% FG and 29% 3FG per game.
In his stint with TNT Tropang Giga, KJ produced 35.1 points, 13.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 3.4 blocks, 49% FG and 36% 3FG per game.
We expect him to be a monster again. And I think a monstrous producer is the type of import that NLEX needs.
Knowing how great coach Yeng Guiao is in maximizing his team, I can actually see how NLEX can become a contender this year.
San Miguel - Brandon Brown
Brandon is a veteran import in KBL, the professional league in Korea. In his last stint there, he manufactured 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 35% 3FG per game.
He may not be a monstrous import but I also do not think San Miguel is in need of a monster. Maybe, an efficient shooter who can defend very well is what SMB needs in claiming the championship.
