So, let’s talk about CJ Payawal and his unexpected journey to TNT Tropang Giga. The 2024 PBA Draft had its fair share of surprises, but seeing Payawal slip to the third round was a shocker. Phoenix had their chance but decided not to sign him, leaving the door wide open for TNT.
Payawal’s biggest selling point? His size and outside shooting. At 6’5”, he brings a combination of length and shooting prowess that can stretch defenses. If he can nail those four-point shots, this could be a steal for TNT.
Imagine this: Payawal on the perimeter, ready to launch from deep, creating more space for TNT’s playmakers and big men. It’s a scenario that could pay off big time.
This move might seem like a gamble, but with the right development, Payawal could be a key piece in TNT’s pursuit of PBA glory.
He needs a lot of development in a lot of areas but TNT should have the coaching staff and resources to help him there.
If he can develop into a 3-and-D wing like Ralph Cu of Ginebra, he could even be a bigger addition by TNT than Nambatac.
