Barangay Ginebra San Miguel rookie Greg Slaughter is still adjusting to the PBA game, but Gin Kings superstar Mark Caguioa said the 7-footer is already making an impact.
“Just his presence inside is enough,” Caguioa told InterAKTV. “Kung ikaw kalaban magdadalawang isip ka if you’re going to drive to the basket. I don’t know how many blocks he had, pero maski hindi siya nakakasupalpal, his presence is really intimidating.”
As expected, Slaughter wasn’t the focal point of the Gin Kings’ offense when the team played its first tuneup game against Rain or Shine Wednesday.
But the top overall rookie was a big help particularly on the defensive end.
“Unang-una, that’s what we need. We have scorers in this team. We need to push each other on defense, including me. I’ll pressure like I’ve never pressured before,” said Caguioa.
Caguioa added that playing Rain or Shine is a good start to toughen up Slaughter.
“I’ve been telling Greg that teams like Rain or Shine will test you. Mayroong other teams dyan na parang bubugbugin ka kasi malaki ka. I told him just be ready because games in the PBA are more physical than the D-League,” said Caguioa.
