Phoenix’s Matthew Wright and Justin Chua couldn’t wait to be able to work with new teammates Chris Banchero and Vic Manuel once full practices in preparation for the PBA’s 46th season can finally start.
The Fuel Masters made big moves last February first by acquiring Banchero from the Magnolia Hotshots Pambasang Manok in exchange for Calvin Abueva before landing Manuel from the Alaska Aces in a separate deal.
Plenty of possibilities are being seen as Phoenix hopes to improve its semifinal finish from last year’s Philippine Cup bubble with Banchero and Manuel joining forces with the likes of Wright, Chua, Jason Perkins, RJ Jazul and rookie Larry Muyang.
