MANILA, Philippines — Terrafirma coach John Cardel believes newly-acquired veterans Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle are massive upgrades for the Dyip, who are coming off a rare playoff stint in the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup.
The Dyip acquired the 6-foot-8 Standhardinger and Pringle after trading Stephen Holt and young big man Isaac Go to the Barangay Ginebra Kings. The trade, which was approved on Saturday, also saw Ginebra swap first round picks for Sunday's PBA Rookie Draft. Asked if age could be an issue since the Filipino-German big man is already 35, while Pringle is 37, Cardel said he could make the necessary adjustments to ensure the two PBA veterans remain fresh.
Cardel sees the many-time Gilas Pilipinas big man as a 'second coach' and mentor to his younger players, particularly incoming sophomore big man Kemark Carino.The 6-foot-9 Carino is seen as a future solid big man for the Dyip. In fact, the former San Beda slot man averaged modest numbers of 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the Philippine Cup.'I expect CStand to be like a mentor and like coach na din sa team, especially to our young big men,' said Cardel.
