Former San Miguel import Bennie Boatwright has agreed to be the next naturalized player for Gilas Pilipinas.
Former San Miguel import Bennie Boatwright has agreed to be the next naturalized player for Gilas Pilipinas, expanding the current pool of options that already features Jordan Clarkson, Justin Brownlee, and Ange Kouame. Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio bared the news to GMA News Online on Sunday, just weeks after Boatwright helped the Beermen clinched the PBA Season 48 Commissioner's Cup title last February against Magnolia.
After reinforcing the Jorge Gallent-helmed squad, Boatwright, who saw action for University of Southern California in the US NCAA Division I, brought his act to the Chinese Basketball Association with the Shanxi Loongs. His looming naturalization will add depth to the pool of naturalized players led by resident Ginebra import Justin Brownlee, who was designated by Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone to banner the team in the foreseeable future.
