Converge has made a strong statement for the upcoming PBA Commissioner’s Cup by signing former NBA player Cheick Diallo as their import. This move reflects the team's ambition, and interestingly, Diallo's recruitment was made smoother by his connection to former PBA star Matthew Wright, who played alongside him in the Japan B.League. Converge’s deputy coach, Charles Tiu, noted that Wright played a helpful role in convincing Diallo to join the FiberXers, showing the influential power of their bond.
Wright's involvement in Diallo’s recruitment has stirred speculation that he might someday return to the PBA to play for Converge. Though currently in Japan, Wright is nearing the eligibility required for unrestricted free agency, which would allow him to sign with any team in the PBA if he chooses to return. Alternatively, Converge and Wright's current PBA team, Phoenix, could negotiate a trade, especially since the FiberXers are seen as a rising team with the resources to offer Wright an attractive package.
For Converge, bringing in a proven player like Wright could mean a lot, both in terms of talent and team dynamics. His experience, three-point shooting, and playmaking skills could make Converge a formidable playoff contender, especially if paired with Diallo’s size and rebounding ability. Adding Wright could transform Converge from an emerging squad into a true title contender, making this potential move an intriguing prospect for both fans and league followers.
