Perennial crowd favorites Barangay Ginebra San Miguel may be the first team this conference to change imports after Herbert Hill had an underwhelming debut in the Commissioner’s Cup.
In a report on the PBA website, Snow Badua said Ginebra is looking at five different players to replace Hill, who scored 17 points in the Kings’ 70-74 loss to Air21 last February 10.

The Philippine national team Smart Gilas stormed back from a 0-11 start to the game and then came up with plucky defensive play on the very last possession, to steal a 79-77 win over Mouttahed Tripoli, Friday (early Saturday, PHL time) at the Al Ahli gym in Dubai, in their first assignment of the Dubai Invitational Basketball tournament.
