Four-time slam-dunk king KG Canaleta is back to where his pro career had started. Canaleta (together with Jondan Salvador) was re-acquired by the Air21 Express in a trade with B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados for Joe Devance. The 6-6 former University of the East star was drafted by Air21 as the sixth over-all pick in the 2005 PBA rookie draft. He had a sensational rookie season wherein he averaged 16.2 points per game during the All-Filipino Conference. After playing four seasons with the Bert Lina-owned franchise, Canaleta hooked up with the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs before the start of the 2009-10 season. Canaleta is happy to be back with his original team. Express head coach Bong Ramos says adjustment will not be a problem for Canaleta considering that he had already played before with the team, according to the team’s official website.
“KG can easily adopt to our style and system because he already played with us.”
