Finally, Allyn Bulanadi is set to play for the Alaska Aces.
After three years of delay since getting drafted by the prestigious organization last 2019, the young Gilas Pilipinas cadet super scorer is ready for his debut season in the PBA.
The leftie star wasn’t able to join Alaska immediately as Bulanadi became a part of the selected picks under the Gilas special draft batch that were held by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) for international duties.
Aside from his commitment to the national team, Bulanadi also suffered a dislocated shoulder during his bubble training with Gilas in Calamba and was also one of the main reasons for his delayed PBA debut.
Now with the SBP’s approval of release and Bulanadi back in full strength, the former San Sebastian Stags main gunner is ready to put Alaska back on top of the standings.
The Aces are currently sitting at the fifth spot of the standings with three wins and two losses and are hoping for a better PBA Governor’s Cup campaign with Bulanadi’s reinforcement.
Also, the Aces management and fans are already excited for the tandem of Bulanadi and star import Olu Ashaoulu.
“Allyn is very versatile on offense, and he has always been a good defensive player. That’s why we’re excited about him,” said Alaska chief tactician Jeff Cariaso.
Alaska team governor and manager Dickie Bachmannand and Aces Sports Development and Public Relations Manager CK Canapi-Daniolco were present during Bulanadi’s contract signing.
