It was learned that with the recent coaching change in the Gilas basketball program wherein head coach Tab Baldwin has resigned and PBA veteran coach Chot Reyes taking over, the SBP has decided to release lefty sharpshooter Allyn Bulanadi who is based in this city, and Monkayo, Davao de Oro scorer Rey Suerte back to the PBA teams who drafted them.
Bulanadi, who was drafted fourth by the Alaska Aces in the 2019 PBA draft, is set to play for his team once the 2022 PBA Governor's Cup resumes.
A former high school basketball varsity of Assumption School of Davao, Bulanadi will add scoring and spunk to the Aces this year.
He started to make a name in Metro Manila while playing for the San Sebastian Stags where he is known as a deadly shooter.
He also played in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) for Basilan Steel.
Suerte for his part is set to play for Blackwater Bossing who drafted him also in 2019.
Suerte made a name for himself when he transferred to Cebu City and played for the University of Visayas Green Lancers.
He carried the Green Lancers to three college basketball titles. After his stint with the Lancers, Suerte played for the University of the East Red Warriors where he led the team in scoring. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
