FORMER National Basketball Association player Renaldo Balkman, Filipino-American Sedrick Barefield and naturalized center Ange Kouame beef up the Strong Group-Philippines in its initial foray in the Dubai International Championship next month.
If ever, this could be the 38-year-old Balkman’s swan song, and coach Charles Tiu is looking forward to another triumphant partnership with the former Philippine Basketball Association import. Tiu, who guided College of Saint Benilde back to the recent National Collegiate Athletic Association Finals for the first time in two decades, said Kouame and Barefield will provide youthful exuberance while Balkman and former Golden State Warriors player Nick Young are expected to give the team leadership.
“We are very thankful to Gilas and the SBP [Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas] for allowing us to borrow Ange in this tournament,” said the 22-year-old Lao. “He’s my teammate and we just won in Ateneo, and hopefully we can win one more together.”
