Castro sa Aussie League
Pormal na hinugot ng Singapore Slingers si 5-foot-10 Jason Castro ng Harbour Centre kahapon para maging import sa 2008-2009 Australian National Basketball League (ANBL) na magsisimula sa Setyembre 17.
“He’s very talented and he fits very well in our league,” ani Singapore Slinger team manager Michael Johnson kay Castro, produkto ng Philippine Christian University. “The position that we wanted to cover that we struggled in the past two years has been the pointguard position. And we believe that he fits that role.”
Isang eight-month, Australian $50,000 contract ang pinirmahan ni Castro, isang two-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) awardee ng Philippine Basketball League (PBL), sa Slingers.
Ang 22-anyos na si Castro ang unang Filipino cager na lalro bilang import sa ANBL, wika ni Slingers’ team owner Bob Turner.
“We’ve got a couple of guards around him that will get better by playing with Jason and Jason get better by playing with them,” wika ni Turner kay Castro, miyembro ng Philippine Team na naghari sa 24th Southeast Asian Games sa Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. (Russell Cadayona)
