Filling in the shoes of the departed Joe Devance in the Alaska Aces
line-up will surely be huge for anybody aspiring to be one. But not Jay-R
Reyes, who like Devance is also 6-7, the man whom the Aces straightly traded
for in exchange for the high-scoring Devance with the Air21 Express. Both
players however play different positions. Devance is more of a perimeter player
who can effectively play the number three and four positions, respectively.
While Reyes on the other hand, is a pure slotman, who makes a living inside the
paint. With the Aces, Reyes will make history as probably the only player in PBA
history to play for three different teams in the three conferences of a season.
He saw action for the Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters during the All-Filipino confab and then was
traded to Air21 before the start of the Commissioner’s Cup. Aces head coach Tim
Cone says Reyes will have all the opportunity to shine with Alaska in the coming Governor's Cup
“JayR will be given an
opportunity that I guess he hasn`t had with other teams. Once a player is given
that opportunity then it will be up to him to make the best of it. We feel that
JayR can take a hold of his role. No doubt about it JayR has a tremendous
upside. That`s why we decided to go for him.”
yeah make it

It will surely make a difference, good or bad we're not certain but for sure it will make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI also belive that JDV's value is not = with Jayr's value that's why I deemed the original trade proposal unfair against Alaska. On the other hand I am positive with how Coach Tim will utilized and optimized the REAL talent of JayR.
Ang maganda kay JayR he is tougher than Devance at mas intensed (minsan nga mainitin pa ang ulo) which is sometimes good, parang nakakahawa. As an Alaska fan sa palagay ko yun yung medyo kulang sa Alaska the past decade, yung attitude at intensity ng isang BONG HAWKINS.
I like to avoid comparison pero sa tingin ko malapit yung ugali (on court) nina The Hawk at JayR.
I'm excited to see the NEW ALASKA and I hope the new acquisitions will add the needed SPICE & FIERCENESS this team is quite lacking for some decade.
Thanks to Joe, HELLO & Good luck to JayR may he flourished in Alaska!!! 17/12 every game I know he'll do it =) by 1standlastacebaby
Thanks, Nice piece of mind! Well, honestly, I believe Jay-R's entry into the Aces squad will really be a positive one for the team. I know something is playing on coach Tim's mind when they pulled the trigger in the JDV for Jay-R trade. Nobody can't pulled a fast one on Tim. Regarding Jay-R, I guessed he will develop into one of the young star centers in the league. Since the time he played in the PBA, I really know it will be just a matter of time that he will really shine in the pro league. He's got the height and mobility to succeed. I'm seeing him developed into another or a better version of Sonny Thoss in the near future...
