As Barangay Ginebra moved to the cusp of another finals appearance and resident import Justin Brownlee marked another milestone in his PBA career, coach Tim Cone couldn't help but marvel at how much his player had grown since he first arrived here in 2016.
"That's what's striking about Justin, is that he's a completely different player now that he was when he first came," Cone said after Ginebra routed Magnolia Hotshots, 103-80, to take a 2-1 series lead in their Commissioner's Cup semifinal series Sunday night.
"We were looking at some old video because we were looking at some old triangle that he was running, and he didn't look like he looks now at all. He was big and you know, big-bodied and little, if I may say chubby, and don't tell him I said that. But he was a stretch 4 but he has continually worked and worked and worked on his game.
