NorthPort’s players ready to play basketball amid pending sale of Batang Pier to Pureblends Corp.
NorthPort coach Bonnie Tan remained tight-lipped about the team's strategies for the upcoming PBA Rookie Draft and the ongoing franchise sale to Pureblends Corporation.
The team is scheduled to participate in the PBA Rookie Draft on Sunday, holding the fourth overall pick, and has already selected players including Chris Koon, CJ Austria, and Mark Sangco.
Pureblends has made its bid to buy NorthPort formal by filing a letter of intent and submitting key requirements to the pro league.
A review committee composed of governors Bill Pamintuan of Meralco and Raymond Zorilla of Phoenix, along with legal counsel Ogie Narvasa, is evaluating the proposed sale.
Despite the pending sale, NorthPort's players are focused on staying ready to play basketball and give their best on the court.
Tan expressed excitement about acquiring former Letran player Jeo Ambohot for the Batang Pier roster.
The presence of former Terrafirma coach Johnedel Cardel with NorthPort's coaching staff during the Draft Combine also drew attention, though Cardel deferred questions to Tan.
