March 9, 2008 :: CyberdunkMakati (AP) -- The Filcosplay Freelancers Xp welcomed the arrival of Amare Studemaire, an experienced Center from Maccabi Tel Aviv. "Amare will provide additional scoring as well as rebounding support," Kero Chan explained. "He's also surprisingly quick for a big man and his scoring ability and great vertical leap make him a threat in the paint."
In his last season for Maccabi Tel Aviv, Amare had an average of 24.7 points, 1.1 steals, 6.4 assists, and 8.2 boards. "What he needs to work on now is defense," Kero noted. "Noir Valentine was an exceptional defender in the paint, but I have no doubt Amare will step up." Noir Valentine moved to the Filcosplay Freelancers just days before Amare's signing.
It turns out, the move worked out well for both teams. Noir Valentine recently had a stellar performance where she had a career high 8 blocks while capturing 4 MOM's (Man of the Match Awards). She is also scoring much better, averaging 20.7 points per game (compared to just 12.2 points per game with her former squad). On the other hand, Amare Studemaire has won 3 MOM's of his own since joining Freelancers XP including a game where he scored a career high 58 points!
"I'm glad the trade turned out great for both teams," Caerid Alt Mer, the coach of the Freelancers stated. "Noir is now one of my star players while Amare is a perfect match for the Freelancers XP. Both teams are looking forward to ending this season strong."
