Jamie Malonzo gets his first taste of the PBA finals as Barangay Ginebra battles guest team Bay Area for the Commissioner's Cup crown.
MANILA, Philippines – Jamie Malonzo enters uncharted territory as he plays in his first PBA finals, but he is confident knowing he has the entire Barangay Ginebra behind him.
Acquired from NorthPort through a blockbuster trade prior to the conference, the sophomore standout has been a major contributor for Ginebra. Ginebra is expected to bank on the 6-foot-7 Malonzo particularly on the defensive end as he possesses the size and athleticism that will be crucial in containing the Dragons’ top wingmen in Kobey Lam and Hayden Blankley.
Although the Gin Kings have proven they are capable of winning championships – ruling three of the last five conferences – even before his arrival, Malonzo said he just wants to provide help.
