good trade, Air21 removed a glut at the 3-spot...

Air21 trades rookie Borboran for Quiñahan



FEW hours after returning from a two-game exhibition series against the Singapore Slingers, Air21 made a swift move to address its immediate need for a big man.

Loaded with swingmen, the Express traded rookie Mark Borboran in exchange for Alaska Aces backup center JR Quiñahan.

Both first round draftees, the trade between Borboran and Quinahan came as no surprise, especially with the Express needing to release a logjam at the wing spots. The team has Arwind Santos, last season’s Most Valuable Player runner-up, Gary David, comebacking JC Intal, versatile forward Niño Canaleta and combo guard newcomer Cholo Villanueva.

“We are very crowded at the wing spots and is lacking another post player, but we addressed that after securing the services of JR Quiñahan,” Air21 president and team manager Lito Alvarez told Standard Today. “We know both players could shine in their new teams now.”

The Aces acquired Joe Devance, who was plucked in after a trade involving rookie guard Solomon Mercado, now playing for Rain or Shine, and Ervin Sotto from Air21 only recently.

With these frontliners making the squad, chances of Quiñahan getting more playing time is highly remote. With the Express, the beefy, 6-6 center and former stalwart of the University of Visayas Lancers , will most likely be given more exposure.

He could come off the bench to give veteran Homer Se and talented forward Ranidel de Ocampo a breather.

Air21 coach Bo Perasol believes the trade is a win-win situation for both camps.

“If you will notice our good placings in the previous years, we were a better team if we have a Shawn Daniels or a Steve Thomas in our team because they are solid frontliners and post players,” said Perasol. “We figured we can have a better chance in the All-Filipino if we will get an additional post player and Quiñahan is a good addition.”
