Globalport owner 'dazed, puzzled' on Sumang availability

MANILA, Philippines – Practically all PBA teams expressed satisfaction on their respective hauls in the 2015 PBA Draft day on Sunday, even Globalport which was the last team to take a pick at No. 28 overall.

“Our prayers were answered,” said Globalport team owner Mikee Romero in tabbing UE chief playmaker Roi Sumang in the third round.

 “I’m still dazed and puzzled how we got Roi Sumang at No. 28. Prior to the draft, our management were busy trying to get a first or second-round draft pick to be used at getting Roi Sumang,” Romero pointed out.

In the next two rounds, the Batang Pier enlisted Fil-Am player Ryan Wetherell and Pedrito Galanza.

Romero expressed great excitement on the makeup of their team now, including 2015 Rookie of the Year awardee Stanley Pringle, Gilas hopeful Terrence Romeo and new recruits Joseph Yeo, Jervy Cruz, Jay Washington and Sumang.

“These four players Pringle, Romeo, Yeo and Sumang will surely bring excitement to the PBA,” he said.
