VICTORIOUS were Calvin Abueva and Ian Sangalang the last time they teamed up outside of San Sebastian as they steered NLEX to the 2012 PBA D-League Foundation Cup.
It was nine years ago when the Cabalen duo, then playing for the Road Warriors in the developmental ranks, steamrolled the competition and completed a perfect 13-0 season, capped off by a two-game sweep of Big Chill in the Finals.
NLEX effectively cemented its dynasty in the newly formed league, winning its third crown in as many conferences.
But the Road Warriors winning the championship in this tourney shouldn t really come as a surprise. After all, they didn t just have Abueva and Sangalang, but also had a bevy of bluechip talents in the amateur ranks.
Andre Paras applies for PBA Rookie Draft
A source told ESPN5.com that Paras is expected to submit some additional requirements to complete his application.
Following his graduation from La Salle Greenhills in 2013, Paras, who is the eldest son of former PBA MVP Benjie Paras, played for the UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 76.
After his one-year stint with UP, he moved to the San Beda Red Lions in the NCAA. When he was not able to make the final roster, Paras transferred and played for the AMA Online Education squad from 2017-19.
Paras last played in the 2019 PBA D-League Foundation Cup, where he averaged 7.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per contest. He also suited up for the Imus squad in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.
