PBA Governors' Cup: A mix of old and new imports coming over

A fixture of familiar and new imports will ply their wares in the season-opening PBA Governors' Cup.

With Season 49 just a month away, teams have begun signing and coming to terms with their respective reinforcements.

Resident import Justine Brownlee will be back for another tour of duty with Barangay Ginebra, while long-time rival Allen Durham returns to Meralco three years after his last stint with the recently-crowned Philippine Cup champions.

Meanwhile, Rain or Shine opted for tried and tested Aaron Fuller as he reunites with former coach Yeng Guiao.

The former USC Trojan initially played for Guiao twice at NLEX and later, had stints with Blackwater and TNT.

Fuller, 34, is coming from a stint with his old Mexican club team Fuerza Regia de Monterrey.

Among the new faces include NBA veteran Glenn Robinson III for Magnolia and Blackwater's Ricky Ledo.

Known for his vertical leaping ability, the son of former NBA player Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson was a second round pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2014 draft. Later on, he also suited up for Philadelphia, Indiana, Detroit, Golden State, and Sacramento.

In 2017, the 30-year-old Robinson, a product of Michigan, was crowned the NBA slam dunk champion.

Ledo on the other hand, was a second round draftee of Milwaukee in 2013.

He didn't get to play for the Bucks though, and instead was acquired in a trade by Dallas, where he spent two seasons vying his time with the Mavs and its NBA G League affiliate Texas Legends.

Ledo also briefly played for the New York Knicks.(RG)
