The recent trade that sent Christian Standhardinger to Terrafirma in exchange for Isaac Go has sparked a debate among Ginebra fans. While some have hailed Go as a promising young talent, others have criticized his performance in his early games with the Gin Kings.
One of the most common criticisms leveled against Go is that he is not as productive as Standhardinger. However, as Jayjay Helterbrand pointed out, it is unfair to compare the two players. Standhardinger is a proven MVP-caliber player, while Go is still developing his skills.
Helterbrand's comparison of Standhardinger to Beau Belga is also insightful. Both players are known for their physicality and toughness, and they have the ability to dominate the paint. While Go may not be at that level yet, he has the potential to develop into a similar type of player.
It is important to remember that Go is still adjusting to the PBA. The league is very different from college basketball, and it takes time for players to adapt. Helterbrand's experience is a reminder that even established players can face challenges when they first join Ginebra.
So, is Isaac Go the second coming of Greg Slaughter? It is too early to say for sure. However, he has the potential to be a very good player. If he can continue to develop his skills and gain experience, he could become a valuable asset to Ginebra for years to come.
Ginebra fans should be patient with Go. He is a young player with a lot of potential. If he can reach his full potential, he could be a top-tier center in the PBA. And that would be a huge win for the Gin Kings.
