TNT has an amazing start to this 2023 PBA Governors' Cup. After a disastrous Commissioner's Cup, TNT is surely salivating to bounce back.
Fans were delighted with what they saw from Jalen Hudson. The guy is producing 33.8 points, 51% FG, 41% 3FG, 9.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
So, people were shocked when they heard that TNT will replaced him! But almost all of them also understand the decision because they will replaced him with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
The guy has 305 games in the NBA and 154 of those, he was a starter! His current NBA averages is 9.1 points, 45% FG, 5.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steal and 0.5 block per game.
With that level of NBA pedigree, TNT is just on his right mind of getting him. But, that doesn't mean that we can already conclude it as the right decision!
In the Korean Basketball League, Rondae produced forgettable numbers of 10.1 points, 46% FG. 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assist per game.
But, those numbers were actually for less than 12 minutes playing time.
Coach Jolas Lastimosa explained his decision to the media. He stated that he wanted an inside-oriented import more, believing that it is the better fit.
I do not actually think that, that is true. They have a pretty modern roster and they are doing well in almost every aspect. I am not sure that going traditional will work perfectly.
Overall though, this is still an excellent decision by TNT.
