In just one game, Justin Brownlee showed exactly why he’s been long sought by Gilas Pilipinas to become a naturalized player.
BOCAUE — But more than the skills that he could bring to the table, national team head coach Chot Reyes was more impressed by how the resident Ginebra import made his impact on the court.
It was Brownlee who sparked a convincing 107-96 victory over Lebanon, dropping 15 of his 17 points in the first half before opting to refer more to his teammates in the second half especially with guys like Mason Amos, Jamie Malonzo, Jordan Heading and Dwight Ramos all coming alive in the blistering third quarter run for Gilas.
The Filipinos finished the game with 31 assists as compared to the 19 in their last game against the Cedar and certainly had their best shooting from the three-point territory in the entire qualifiers with 17 makes. “We know him. He played before in Lebanon in the league, three, four years ago. He is a great player. He likes to play with the team. He is not the type of player that just plays one-on-one. He did an amazing job. They helped him a lot especially that he has size,” he said of Brownlee.
