Butiki Bullets: Sunday October 11

  • The RP Patriots win their first assignment in the ABL. Rob Wainwright made ABL history by scoring the very first basket in league history en route to a 76-69 win over Indonesia Satria Muda. Brandon Powell led the Patriots with 18 points while Wainwright finished with 15. Rensy Bajar, an import for the Indonesian team, scored 11.
  • Some interesting information about the PBA's current rookie class. Quinito Henson of the Philippine Star reports that out of the 18 rookies selected in the 2009 rookie draft, three did not make their team's lineups. JR Sena, Edwin Asoro and PJ Walsham are not part of the teams that drafted them. Undrafted free agents Bryan Faundo and Jim Viray made the Barako Bull team while Josh Urbiztondo was picked up by Sta Lucia. Former San Sebastian star Jam Alfad, who joined the PBA draft in 2004, will also be a rookie this year.

Medyo nawala ka ata ah. grabe kelan naging guard si alfad? ayan nanaman si quinito eh. haha. jr sena would have looked good in an alaska jersey. where do you think he'll end up? PBL and LP? Patriots should be willing to take him in.

dude. yeah... i was kind of out of it. busy with all sorts of stuff.

sena will find himself in the pba pretty soon. he probably wasn't signed to a contract yet just so he can finish out his stint with the heavy bombers. sayang eh... this might be a championship season.

the patriots look intruiging though. they might actually be an alternative for legit PBA guys. i dont know how long khasim mirza committed to the team, but if they take care of him, especially financially, he could conceivably pass on the pba and stay with patriots.
