^ Dindo is a better coach right now than Topex ....... though like I said, expect Topex to accelerate much faster since he's exposed to the PBA more - with ALASKA no less.
By the way, that UE team that went 14-0 had more than a few very decent players ..... not superstars, but worthy enough to crack PBA rosters e.g. Borboran, Thiele, Espiritu, Arellano, Acuna, Lingganay & Paul Lee (still very raw then).
Jervy Cruz was never going to replicate his UAAP success into the pros.
He's undersized & a tad on the slow-side ....... though his post smarts, decent rebounding & his decent mid-range jumpers have brought him some minutes in Welcoat's PBA team (ROS).
