Rumors are swirling that veteran scorer Gab Banal is returning to the MPBL, signing with the Quezon Huskers. While this might raise questions about his PBA future, Banal's past performance suggests he could still be a valuable asset for the right team. Let's explore potential landing spots:
His first PBA conference with Alaska showcased his abilities, averaging 8.7 points on 45% three-point shooting. Unfortunately, it went downwards after there.
Here are top 3 teams that could consider making an offer for him.
#3. Ginebra: The Gin Kings' traditional style could benefit from Banal's solid defense and catch-and-shoot ability. He wouldn't be a primary scorer, but his role as a floor spacer and defensive contributor could be valuable.
#2. Phoenix: Phoenix's fast-paced, forward-heavy approach aligns with Banal's skillset. His ability to stretch the floor and contribute defensively could complement their existing core. However, they might prioritize younger talent development in their current situation.
#1. San Miguel: While Don Trollano provides depth, Banal could offer a different dimension. His catch-and-shoot prowess and team-oriented defense might fit Coach Leo Austria's system well. However, their established veteran rotation suggests limited available minutes.
Ultimately, Banal's best fit depends on a team's needs, playing style, and roster composition. His experience, shooting, and defensive awareness can be valuable, but finding the right situation where he can maximize his contributions will be crucial.
