Obviously, the Air21 Express is in the rebuilding process. The joke around the league is that, the
team’s come-backing team executive, Lito Alvarez, is PBA’s version of Vicky
Belo, as he made quite a full facelift of the tea.
Air 21roster has some good names. They’ve got the high-flyer and dependable perimeter
defender KG Canaleta from a multi-player trade deal which also includes one of
PBA’s draft pick bust Noy Baclao, the good post defender Rob Reyes and promising
guard John Wilson from Ginebra.

They acquired
two players from the last draft: The “pogiboy” from La
Salle , Simon Atkins, and 6’6 center Yousef Taha.
They also
acquired Bonbon Custodio, who obviously couldn’t find a spot in his former
team’s congested SG rotation. But he’s not part of the official roster just
yet. Don’t ask me why.
Obviously,
Air 21 team captain, Renren Ritualo will benefit from these acquisitions, as
these guys will ease the scoring load of the squad. And with the scrappy play
of tested and proven veteran Nelbert Omolon, the Express are much approved this
year. They are no longer an instant W for teams looking to better their
standings, and may be a dark horse this season. Baclao, also, can finally have
his minutes here, so he better get the most out of it and prove his worth.
The 0-14
campaign will no longer happen this year. But with the fresh faces they have, this
team needs to work on their chemistry and learn defending faster and bigger
teams such as Ginebra, TnT, Petron, and Alaska
