Fajarito is a center standing at six foot seven. The player from Letran can back up Raymond Almazan in the paint as a second unit for coach Norman Black. The Bolts also drafted Espanalo from the University of the Philippines. He is a Fil-Am guard who only had limited minutes as a fighting maroon. To have big minutes as a Bolt, he must surpass the services brought by the other Bolt guards such as Quinto and Caram.
As for Armenion, he was selected by Meralco in the fourth round as the tenth pick. Just like Espanalo, he is also a guard. He stands at five foot eleven and is from the City of Cebu. Alongside Espanalo, he must also outshine the other Bolt guards to gain the trust of the head coach of Meralco.
Most of the original members who competed against Ginebra in the Governors’ Cup Finals are still within the Bolts’ cast. We will still be seeing the magnificent performances of Newsome, the streaky three-point shooting of Maliksi, and the monstrous dominance of Almazan near the rim. Not only them but also the sensational Aaron Black, Chris Banchero, Bong Quinto, and others.
