A Basketball Standpoint: What to Look Forward to with Petron Blaze Boosters

The 2011 Governors Cup Champions are already out from defending their title, but instead of dwelling on what-ifs, it is high time to look on what to look forward on the all-star line-up of Petron Blaze come the 2012-2013 Philippine Cup.

New Coach?

RAJKO TOROMAN, rumored to take Ato Agustin's place next season.

The Serbian Coach has made the hearts of the SMC officials and of course, if you are an SMC official, you would not hire Toroman to be a consultant on a team forever, he would have to be a coach sooner or later - with Cone's success with Llamados and with the resurgence of Mark Caguioa helping Siot's Ginebra Gin Kings, it is most likely that Toroman would probably call the shots for PBB. Toroman can help identify player's roles and put them on the efficient way they can be.

A Healthy Marcio Lassiter

Marcio, Petron's acquisition on a five man trade with Powerade (Marcio + Celino (who eventually played for Barako) for Rabeh, Rey and Lordy) is the player to watch out for Petron. His presence on the hardcourt is sorely missed this conference.

PBA Draft

Petron has a good number of picks for the 2012 Rookie Draft, they can make use of it to strengthen their lineup. There is an interesting cast of draft applicants that might catch the eye of the coaching staff of PBB.

Chris Lutz signing a fresh contract

If there is one amongst the many PBB players who deserves a fresh contract, it would probably be Chris Lutz. Away from all the injuries that he had on his first year, Chris knows his offense and defense pretty well, can take the shot and make shots for his team mates. He is a take-charge guy. It would be ugly on a shake-up if he would be wearing another uniform.

RECALL: Petron gave Lutz a 1-year contract only.
