The PBA free agent pool gained some intriguing names as four players were recently released by their respective teams: Prince Caperal and MJ Ayaay from NorthPort, and Carl Bryan Cruz and Mike Tolomia from TNT Tropang Giga.
Modern Big Man: Prince Caperal, the 2020 PBA Most Improved Player, brings a modern skillset to the table. Unlike traditional big men, Caperal possesses the ability to step outside the paint and stretch the floor with his shooting. This versatility could be a valuable asset for any team looking to add a dynamic presence in the frontcourt.
Certified Three-and-D Forward: Carl Bryan Cruz, a former Gilas Pilipinas member, is known for his defensive prowess and outside shooting. He can guard multiple positions on the defensive end and provides reliable spacing on offense with his three-point threat. Teams in need of a "three-and-D" wing player will find Cruz an attractive option.
Proven Bench Scorer: MJ Ayaay has carved a niche for himself as a reliable contributor off the bench. While not a starter, he possesses the ability to come in and provide scoring punches with his offensive skillset. Teams looking to bolster their bench depth with a veteran presence should consider Ayaay.
Veteran Guard with Scoring Ability: Mike Tolomia, a veteran guard, brings a wealth of experience and scoring ability to the table. While his overall skillset might be comparable to other guards in the league, his offensive capabilities and veteran leadership could be valuable assets for teams seeking additional backcourt depth.
These four players, now unrestricted free agents, offer unique skillsets and experience that can benefit any PBA team. As the offseason progresses, their decisions on their next destinations will be interesting storylines to follow.
