coke draftees..(thoughts!)

Finally, there are players who can provide support to JA and Ali. I don't wanna see JA frustrated after the game. you know After giving all his best, his team would still lose coz he did not get the support from his teammates.With the acquisition of Yeo and Rizada and Enrile, Coke is assured of at least 15-30 points a game from these players. If that happens, the other team would no longer focus on John. Yeo is the type of player who attacks inside the paint regardless of who's inside..(that's what I like him!wlang cnasanto..come on enrico!lol) but he has to keep cool especially when he's playing Red Bull. Rizada is much of a threat outside..
Some people say that with the entry of these guys, John could be affected coz of their positions. But JA is a shooting forward naman. Hopefully, there will be no problem about their minutes. Rizada and Yeo are off-guards so I don't see any problem at all. And besides, JA has played with Yeo already in the Jones Cup..So at least my chemistry na ng konte. He has played with Ali and Denok, too. Rizada is Denok's former teammate in FEU. About Yeo's attitude, well I think he's matured enough to know that it's not UAAP anymore! Playing here is not about your school pride..it's about your team's ultimate goal and proving yourself that you deserve to be drafted in the PBA.
Im hoping that most of these players would be signed by Coke. they have so much talent that can help the team. Yun nga lang, I don't expect them to be so good..they will still adjust to the team and to the league. PBA is not college basketball..it's tougher!Even if they are college stand-outs, still Ali and John would have to carry a big load in the team. They're the veterans of the team and they have to involve the new players.
The sun is starting to shine back to the Coke team...
