Kyt Jimenez, once a viral basketball sensation, finds himself on the unrestricted free agent with rights to salary (UFAWR2S) list after being released by the San Miguel Beermen. Despite setbacks in his young PBA career, such as injuries and limited playing time, Jimenez's potential and marketability remain intriguing. Here are three teams that should seriously consider adding him to their roster:
#3 Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters
If Phoenix is looking to build its brand and attract a loyal fanbase, signing Kyt Jimenez could be a marketing coup. His popularity from his Mavs Phenomenal days and dynamic style of play could bring more eyes to the team. Although Phoenix's roster may not desperately need a scoring guard, Jimenez’s charisma could help draw attention to the squad.
#2 NorthPort Batang Pier
NorthPort still has a glaring need for a reliable point guard, and while Jimenez leans more toward a scoring-first mentality, his addition could inject energy into the team. His flashy style and determination could provide a spark to a NorthPort roster searching for identity and direction.
#1 Terrafirma Dyip
Terrafirma is currently one of the most criticized teams in the PBA, particularly for their rebuilding approach and roster decisions. Signing Jimenez and providing him substantial playing time could be a move to win back disgruntled fans. Giving a popular player like Jimenez the opportunity to thrive on the court might help soften public perception and showcase a commitment to player development.
Jimenez’s release from San Miguel highlights the league's peculiar rules around Fil-foreign players, as SMB already hit its limit of seven active Fil-foreign players. While Jimenez's career has been hampered by bad luck, his charisma and skills make him a valuable asset. Whether it’s through fan engagement or on-court performance, he has the potential to bring something special to any team willing to take the chance.
