Freelancers XP Signs New Player

December 14, 2007 :: Cyberdunk

Makati (AP) -- The Filcosplay Freelancers Xp welcomed Kel Ryokuzen to the team after signing a 1-year contract with a $50,000 signing bonus. Kel Ryokuzen had previously played his rookie season for a Division 6 Japanese Team: the Kashiwa Rattlesnakes. Scoring an average of 17 points and 11 rebounds and 1 block per game, he placed in the top 10 of the division in points, blocks, and rebounds.

Kero Chan , the manager and playing coach for Filcosplay Freelancers Xp, quickly snatched up this new talent from the free agent pool. "He's an outstanding addition to the team," Chan noted. "His impressive scoring coupled with good fundamentals will allow him to provide support for players like myself, Xian Chixian, and Noir Valentine." There is concern that his height, a paltry 6 feet and 5 inches, may be an issue especially since he will be playing in the power forward position. Commenting on this, Chan stated, "Yes, it is an issue, but I feel it also lends him some versatility. I can easily put him in as SF or even one of the guard positions if necessary. He's another great option in tight games."

In his debut game with the Freelancers XP, Ryokuzen scored an impressive 27 points in the teams' rout of the Calbayog Elves (192-22). "I'm just happy to play with a good team and great manager," Ryokuzen commented after the game. "I know that I won't be getting the same minutes I did with my former team, but I'm just glad Chan-san gave me this great opportunity to play with his team."
