I'm seeing videos now coach Yeng training the ROS roster. Looks like his return to his old team is hyped, hopefully this would have a good result and ROS will once again be a competitive team like they were in the past.
Red Bull Barako and Rain-Or-Shine before it's not just about being handled by a good Coach Yeng but their roster is really deep during their prime day. Seeing the current ROS roster and they are not involved in some trading nowadays, I doubt Coach Yeng can turn the team competitive again.
The team needs to reshuffle their roster but I doubt ROS will pay decent money to sign a caliber player that can act as their main man. Hoping that their signed import next conference is one of the best and can bring a boost for the team.
You are correct, the current lineup is not that competitive compared with SMB and MVP teams, they are way far from these two giant companies, though coach Yeng may add good motivation but if the franchise is not willing to spend more money for much deeper squad, the chance is slim for them, unless the import that they will going to have this season can lift them.
I hope that James Yap will play good minutes now with coach Yeng. I'm looking forward to hear his name again before he retires his jersey.
To be honest, I don't know this coach but since the management trusted him, then I wish them the best and I hope NLEX will still remain as a team that could compete against the heavy names in the NBA.
NLEX is good during the 2021-22 Governors Cup because of their import of KJ McDaniels. They beat most of the top teams in that conference.
Unfortunately, because of the pandemic and Governor's Cup always halted, McDaniels didn't finish his PBA stint and need to return home.
If only they can hire an import with the same power skills like McDaniels, they can compete again with those top teams.
I remember that. It was saddened that McDaniels needs to choose his family over his work because of the pandemic. They almost have that title chased, but unfortunately he needs to go home and be replaced and the chase didn't work in their favor. Hope to see them with the kind of import who will bring them to that level and give them the title.
