PBA Trade Rumors: Magnolia bigman, which team should offer for him?



There is no question at this point that Russell Escoto's career will be full of what-if. He was highly-touted when he entered the draft because he is tall and is a willing shooter from beyond the arc.

Unfortunately, the injury but never let go of the guy. Fortunately for him, he entered the league at a young age and he still have time to turn this around.

Which teams should try to trade for him?

Northport
They are badly in need of a bigman After the departure of Greg Slaughter to Japan and the sabbatical of Troy Rike, Northport's depth in the frontline was so thin. 

I do not think Escoto can start right away but he should be capable of eating up 10 to 15 minutes as he try to find his groove.

Phoenix
Another team who is looking for some size. I also think that coach Topex Robinson can help Escoto in elevating his game. They are known to be good in harnessing the three-point shooting of their players. Escoto is a willing shooter but the efficieny has been bad.

I also think that playing for a younger squad like Phoenix who like to be active will also maximize the other tools of Escoto.
