2023 PBA Draft Rumors: Should San Miguel pay a lot to sign Kyt Jimenez?


Kyt Jimenez's anticipated stint with San Miguel in the PBA remains uncertain as he has yet to secure a release from his current MPBL team, the GenSan Warriors.

Despite signing a two-year contract with San Miguel after being selected in the fifth round of the PBA draft, Jimenez's participation in the Beermen's upcoming season faces obstacles due to his ongoing commitments with the Warriors in the MPBL playoffs.

While Jimenez continues to play for the Warriors, his representatives are in discussions with the team's management to facilitate his release, allowing him to pursue his PBA dreams before the Season 48 window closes.

There are concerns that playing for San Miguel without the proper release from the Warriors could result in a potential ban from the MPBL. As Jimenez's contract with the GenSan Warriors extends until December, efforts are being made to arrange a meeting with the team's management to resolve the situation.

What is interesting is the  reality that General Santos is the hometown of the owner of the league, Manny Pacquiao. 

Snow Badua, the most reliable source of rumors around Philippine basketball, also revealed that GenSan is having issues in giving the salaries of their players.

If that is the case, it is mind-boggling for them that they holding into Kyt when they have troubles paying him already. 

One potential move that San Miguel can do is to buy-out the contract of Kyt. The question is, is Kyt deserving of such?
