Jalen Green headlines the notable Filipino-foreign talents who will see action for the six international teams that will add spice to the 2019 Chooks-to-Go SM NBTC League National Finals starting tomorrow.
The 17-year-old Green, who set an NBTC record for most points in a game with 51, will be back for FilAm Sports USA and they will compete in the national high school championship sponsored by Chooks-to-Go, Darlington-Exped Socks, EPSON, Huawei, Freego, Purefoods, Gatorade, Go for Gold, SM, and Molten.
But this time, the team won’t be all about Green.
Jeron Artest, the son of former NBA star Metta World Peace, will be part of Bong Ulep-coached FilAm Sports USA, together with Eli Ramos, the brother of Cal Poly Pomona wingman Dwight Ramos.
Also returning for the Fil-Ams are forward Brandon Wilson and guard Boogie Ellis in the week-long festivities, which is also presented by 5 Plus and Lighthouse Events.
Durham Crossover Canada also takes the floor anew and coach Mike Cruz is bringing back the solid core of Tyler Garcia, Denzel Faraon, Jason Diaz, and Josh Samonte.
Playmaker Jasper Rentoy is set to take the lead for AusPinoy Australia, while Chiolo Anonuevo, who played last season with the FEU-Diliman Baby Tamaraws, will reinforce the debuting Italy Europe Proudly Pinoy.
Completing the NBTC record-high six international teams are Camp David New Zealand and newcomer Top Flight Hoops Vancouver.
