The Titan Ultra Giant Risers have quietly been one of the most active franchises during this extended PBA break, but their roster reconstruction remains unfinished business. Last month, management made the bold decision to clear house by releasing frontcourt pieces Jeo Ambohot and Damie Cuntapay, along with guard Jerrick Balanza.
Since that purge, Titan’s only official signee has been veteran floor general RR Garcia. That leaves the franchise with two valuable open roster spots—and a prime opportunity to inject talent, depth, and star power into their rotation before the tournament resumes.
If Titan wants to maximize those remaining slots, here are the top three free agents they should realistically target:
Reports surfaced recently that Christian Fajarito has been trying out for Titan, and bringing him on board makes complete sense for a frontcourt in transition.
While Fajarito built his early reputation as a traditional interior bruiser, what makes him an intriguing prospect right now is his active willingness to modernize his game. In today’s PBA, big men can no longer survive solely on low-post touches and paint defense; they need to set solid screens, roll hard, hit mid-range jumpers, and make quick decisions on the perimeter. Fajarito has shown a clear commitment to expanding his skill set to fit modern offensive flow. Giving him a roster spot offers Titan a motivated, hard-working big man eager to prove he belongs in the modern era.
#2. Yousef Taha
If Titan wants immediate frontcourt stability paired with high basketball IQ, Yousef Taha is the ideal target.
#1. Terrence Romeo
At the very top of the wishlist sits a player who should be an absolute no-brainer for Titan: Terrence Romeo.
Despite his recent journey through free agency, Romeo remains arguably a top-20 play-creator in the entire league. When healthy, his isolation scoring, ball-handling wizardry, and uncanny ability to collapse defenses single-handedly are talents that very few players in Philippine basketball possess. He unequivocally deserves a roster spot in the PBA.
Beyond the court, Romeo is the ultimate marketing fit. As a franchise looking to build its identity, attract fans, and market its brand, signing one of the most polarizing and electric fan favorites in modern PBA history would pay instant dividends. Pairing his scoring flair with RR Garcia in the backcourt would give Titan both on-court punch and massive off-court relevance.
