Japeth who? Express want Al-Hussaini, Baclao | PnoyTV | Pinoy TV

MANILA, Philippines—Who needs Japeth Aguilar? Definitely not Air21. The Express, who failed to make it past the wild-card phase of both conferences in the recent PBA season because of big-man woes, will exercise their first two picks in the coming Rookie Draft to select the two finest centers available in the pool. Rabeh Al-Hussaini and Nonoy Baclao, stalwarts of Ateneo’s back-to-back UAAP champion squads, will be picked by the Express first and second overall, respectively, in the Draft proceedings scheduled Aug. 29 at the Market! Market! in Taguig.
