The flagship event will have its draw this Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
He’s currently having concerns in forming the SEAG-bound squad with the absence of marquee players Jamie Malonzo of Ginebra and TNT’s Mikey Williams, the best player of the recent PBA Governors’ Cup.“We’d love to have Japeth but I don’t think he’s anywhere 100 percent. We don’t want to risk it because remember, our big-picture [goal] here is the World Cup ,” said Reyes.
He added there are no shoo-ins in Gilas’ lineup for the FIBA World Cup, but Aguilar and Fajardo are prime candidates to make the team.
