Ginebra lets go of ‘studs’ to address aging roster
Barangay Ginebra traded veterans Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle to Terrafirma for Stephen Holt and Isaac Go, along with a swap of first-round picks in the upcoming PBA Rookie Draft.
Ginebra acquired the third overall pick while Terrafirma received the tenth selection in the draft.
Ginebra head coach Tim Cone stated that the team aimed to get younger and that Standhardinger had expressed a preference to play in a different system.
Standhardinger was an MVP candidate averaging 19.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists last season.
Holt, a Rookie of the Year candidate, averaged 17.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.9 steals.
The acquisition of Holt and Go is expected to bolster Ginebra's lineup, especially with ongoing injuries to Scottie Thompson and Jamie Malonzo.
Standhardinger and Pringle are anticipated to strengthen Terrafirma's roster.
The pick swap could influence Ginebra's choices in a talent-rich draft list that includes several notable prospects.
