GINEBRA’S PLANS FOR BEN ADAMOS
The Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is eyeing young and promising center Ben Adamos as part of their strategy to bolster their frontline. Adamos, a 6’6″ big man known for his rebounding, shot-blocking, and ability to stretch the floor with his shooting, has caught the attention of Coach Tim Cone and the Ginebra management.
While Ginebra already boasts a solid roster, the addition of a young and skilled center like Adamos could provide depth and ensure long-term stability in the frontcourt, especially as veterans like Japeth Aguilar and Christian Standhardinger continue to anchor the team.
Potential Roles for Ben Adamos
- Backup Big Man: Adamos could fill the role of a reliable second-unit center, giving Ginebra more flexibility in their rotations.
- Stretch Big: With his shooting touch from the perimeter, Adamos adds a unique element to the team, creating spacing for guards like Scottie Thompson and Stanley Pringle to operate.
- Defensive Presence: Known for his shot-blocking ability, he could become a rim protector that complements Standhardinger’s physical post presence.
