THE Alaska Aces' playoff run in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) last season was decent. But "good enough" has never been enough for the organization that dominated the PBA in the 1990s yet that hasn't won a PBA title in eight years. And even though half of the faces in the Alaska team is fresh, head coach Jeff Cariaso is ready to shake things up in a bid to win championship No. But this year, Alaska already has four young rookies, namely Ben Adamos, Taylor Browne, Aleck Stockton and RK Ilagan. Banal is the son of Joel Banal, former coach of the Alaska team.
