^^ In this PBA age wherein the traditional big man is rare - Fajardo's development will still progress, regardless of any team who picks him IMO.
Yup, he'll likely wont win much with Perasol's POWERADE; but he will get the minutes - which is not at all guaranteed with SMC's ultra-loaded lineups.
SMC does have Alex English - but his contract is up after a few months ..... Parks, though a legend in his own right, is still untested in the coaching field.
If anything, the best coach for Fajardo would be Norman Black (the best bigs/fundamental coach we've seen in quite some time) .... or Yeng Guiao (if anyone can transform sheep into lions, it would be Guiao).
I agree that Fajardo sorely lacks the swagger that a young Ildefonso, Adducul, Espino, Aquino, etc had many years ago.
