My Picks for Ginebra this upcoming Draft

Ginebra will have the 1st pick in this 2014 Draft and there is also a rumor that they will also get the 4th pick of Barako exchanging for Dylan Ababou. 

So if that's the case here is my take on who and why should ginebra choose that player 

For the 1st Pick: Greg Slaughter

Greg slaughter is a big and dominant guy in the UAAP. he is 6'11 or a 7 footer. For me Greg will be a BIG Reinforcement for the team because the team's been struggling on height for they don't have a legitimate Center. Greg can fill that gap for Ginebra and might be the next Marlou Aquino for the Ginebra Franchise. Remember back then when Ginebra drafted the 6'10 giant, they became a contender after the draft. Greg is good in the post in his college days, but in the PBA he's going to need a 'post up' coach/mentor so that his height and physique won't go to waste. Look at JuneMar Fajardo, he got Danny Ildefonso to mentor him in the post, look what happened to him this late Governor's cup? He became dominant. So I guess that's what Ginebra needs when they're going to draft slaughter; a mentor ex. Eric Menk. 

Surely when Slaughter's skills will be harnessed Ginebra would surely be a strong contender in the future.

For the rumored 4th Pick: Jeric Teng

Jeric Teng is one of the Sharpshooters of UST. I heard that Ginebra is Looking for a guard that will complement with Mark Caguioa. So I guess Jeric Teng would be the best choice for that. I really never saw how Jeric played during the elimination rounds (Maybe because of his injury) but from what I saw from the Playoffs and Finals, he got this BIG heart for the game and the team, His facial expression really shows that he doesn't want to lose every single game. This is what Ginebra needs! A guy with a Passion for the game and for the team, a man who really wants to win. Besides on his passion and love for the game he got that mid to longrange touch, which would really complement the Heart and Soul of this Ginebra squad; Mark Caguioa. Great shooter, Passion, Heart and a guy who wants to win. This is what Ginebra needs right now!

Surely Jeric Teng will be one of the Future of Ginebra once he will be drafted to Ginebra
