Now that the PBA is about to finally start their PBA season, let us rundown again the top available free agents out there.
Especially that Marc Pingris has decided to retire. Magnolia can find a replacement in the free agency market instead of a trade.
#10 Jason Ballesteros
It seems like no team wants to trust the knees of Ballesteros because of how bad his injury history is. That is sad because Jason is a defensive juggernaut.
#9 Nico Salva
Salva is an excellent defender and capable off-ball offensive player. It will be sad if he will not find a place in the PBA because of his pedigree.
#8 Yutien Andrada
Another guy that has the physical attributes to be a positive factor for several teams. He is lanky, agile and long.
#7 Sol Mercado
The last rumor was that Terrafirma invited him to their training camp. We have not heard since. It seems like the rumors were false.
#6 Michael Calisaan
He is currently fighting for a spot in the Phoenix Fuel Masters. Just in case he fails, I hope the other team will consider. The guy is aggressive and has a good level of skills.
#5 Maurice Shaw
Shaw is not yet officially a free agent but we also have not heard that NLEX took him in their training camp. An indication that they may cut his contract soon.
#4 Kris Rosales
Rosales is still a nice potential free agency pick-up out there because of his handle and his defense. He will not score that much but is a good quarterback.
#3 Bryan Faundo
Forgot about this guy. He is currently the free agent that I am most confident to bring value on any team. Midrange shooting and toughness.
#2 Rabeh Al-Hussaini
We have not heard anything about Rabeh. Just in case he wants to return to the PBA, Rabeh can still bring multiple very good skills in the bigman position.
#1 Alex Mallari
There is no doubt that a 6'4 wingman with the ability to quarterback the offense should still be in the PBA.
