                    [Title] => Villanueva hinugot ng Magnolia
                    [Summary] => 

Hinugot ng Magnolia Spinners ang FEU point guard na si Jonas Villanueva bilang No. 1 pick sa PBL Rookie Draft kahapon.


Si Villanueva ang magiging haligi ng koponan ng Magnolia nang kanilang kunin ang core ng San Beda Red Lions na magdadala ng kanilang kulay sa darating na PBL Silver Cup.

Kinuha ng Magnolia sina Pong Escobal, Alex Angeles, Ogie Menor, Eduardo Tecson, Jay-R Taganas, Micah Evangelista, Riego Gamalinda, Kris Tagupa at may plano ring kunin ang 6-foot-8 Nigerian Sam Ekwe para sa two-year tie up ng Magnolia sa San Beda.

Hindi naman. I don’t think so.

Apat man ang teams nila sa liga, pero laban lang naman sila kung laban.

Out kung out, in kung in.

Kita nyo nga, sa Final Four nitong All-Filipino Cup, dalawa lang sa apat ang nakapasok, at isa lang ang nakapasok sa finals at yan ay ang Purefoods nga.

Nung isang conference, Red Bull naman ang nag-champion at hindi anuman sa teams nila.

Gayunpaman ay nananatiling matatag ang koponan.

Sinabi ni interim coach Reonel Parado na bagamat hindi singla-kas ng dating koponan, palaban pa rin ang Jewels sa nalalapit na 2006 PBL Unity Cup na magsisi-mula bukas sa San Andres gym sa Malate.

There are 53 applicants to the draft on Aug. 14 at the Sta. Lucia Mall. Assuming all nine teams pick players in the first two rounds, 35 will automatically become free agents.
