Magnolia did a great job of acting quickly and right after that SMB loss, the replacement is already set in action.
Their new import Antonio Hester is not new to the PBA environment and at least his experience playing in the league should provide him comfort and not that being pressured. He's now with the team where he will surely have lots of support from local teammates compared to his first import stint in the league playing in Terrafirma.
Like I said in my previous posts, either 1 or all of the winless teams will be replacing their imports.
Magnolia who we know is a championship contender is expected to change their import because scoring only 10+ in 2 consecutive games is just unacceptable. On other things, it seems like the Rain or Shine is also thinking of changing their import, Michael Qualls because of lack of chemistry of the team. They are assessing whether they will replace him or not.
For Antonio Hester, he's a ex-import of TerraFirma and currently playing on Zamboanga Valientes with the 2-time NBA champion and former teammate of Wade, Lebron and Bosh, Mario Chalmers.
2 exciting games will be played tomorrow.
First game. Converge is trying to make their win streak go to 5 as they will face the TNT Tropang Giga who just came from a victory against the Magnolia Hotshots.
Second game. The NLEX just changed their import, but the problem is they will be facing the crowd favorite, Brgy. Ginebra. Their new import, Wayne Selden Jr. just came in into our league and he will face the Ginebra immediately.
.
Currently no odds on Stake still but, I might bet on Converge and NLEX to win on this one.
