No less than Sanmig Coffee Mixers head coach Tim Cone confirmed that they are set to receive Isaac Holstein in exchange for Justin Chua and Leo Najorda from Globalport Batang Pier.

Isaac Holstein was the number 7 pick from the firs round while Justin Chua was the 10th pick from last Sundays PBA 2013 Rookie Draft.

“We just wanted the taller guy and a more defensive-oriented player while Globalport was looking for a big that was more polished offensively,” said Cone.

Holstein was measured at 6-foot-7 in socks, while Chua stood a shade below 6-foot-5. But Chua is considered the more seasoned prospect, while Holstein is expected to be a project.

“Chua, I believe, along with Leo, can help them right away while we can take our time and develop Holstein,” said Cone.

“Global had been calling about Leo for a couple of weeks already. They certainly have a role for him, and with us he was kind of buried behind Ping (Marc Pingris) and Joe (Devance).”
