Phoenix coach Ariel Vanguardia requested the 27-year-old Phelps to play for one or two games in the Commissioner’s Cup after playing in Taiwan. We just try to have that proper mindset in our preparation against Phoenix,” said Star Hotshots coach Chito Victolero. Coach Leo (Isaac) has done a great job in building the team, and now they have a powerhouse import,” said Compton. Blackwater coach Leo Isaac hopes Smith will deliver the same intensity as they try to enter the win column. “Having seen our import perform last Saturday, we expect improved plays from him and from our locals as well.”
