PBA Free Agency: Ginebra sniper's top 3 potential destination!



The current crop of Unrestricted Free Agents could be the deepest in the history of the league. That doesn't mean though that the upcoming Unrestricted Free Agents should not be discussed. 

Remember that in the current rule, the players who have seven seasons in the league can become Unrestricted Free Agent. That means Pessumal will finally get the opportunity that he deserved!

 3. Barangay Ginebra San Miguel: Despite his limited playing time (10.4 minutes per game) under Tim Cone, Ginebra offers undeniable allure. Pessumal's potent three-point threat (37.5% shooting this season) could be precisely what the Gin Kings need to bolster their second unit. 

Ginebra ranks second-last in threes made per game, and Pessumal's injection of long-range firepower could prove invaluable in their championship quest. However, concerns about integrating him into their existing rotation and Coach Cone's preference for veterans might necessitate additional roster shifts.

2. Terrafirma Dyip: A fresh start, a chance to shine – Terrafirma presents a tempting prospect for Pessumal. With John Cardel prioritizing youth development, playing time wouldn't be a concern. Pessumal, freed from limited minutes, could blossom into a key offensive contributor and mentor for the young Dyip. 

The pressure of expectations would be significantly lower, allowing him to showcase his abilities without the burden of carrying a franchise. Yet, the question remains: would Terrafirma's current system fully utilize Pessumal's skills, or could his potential be stifled by a team still finding its way?

1. Magnolia Hotshots: This potential marriage appears divinely ordained. Magnolia, perched atop the standings yet ranking dead last in three-pointers made per game, is practically crying out for Pessumal's sniper skills. 

Coach Chito Victolero champions ball movement and perimeter shooting, perfectly aligning with Pessumal's strengths. Imagine him alongside Paul Lee and Marc Barroca, raining down threes and stretching defenses. 

The Hotshots already have a championship-caliber core; Pessumal could be the missing piece, the final touch that propels them over the top. However, acquiring him might require strategic maneuvering and potentially parting with valuable assets, making this potential union far from a slam dunk.
