Alab’s Jason Brickman pleased with performance vs some of PBA’s best guards

By Jonas Terrado

San Miguel Alab Pilipinas’ Jason Brickman was pleased with his performance against some of the PBA’s best guards during two tune-up games between the ASEAN Basketball League outfit and the Southeast Asian Games-bound Gilas Pilipinas.

Brickman gave himself a good review facing the likes of Chris Ross, LA Tenorio and Kiefer Ravena during the exhibition series at the Meralco Gym that saw Gilas winning the first meeting 98-95 before Alab exacting revenge Monday with a 93-89 triumph.

“I thought I did pretty well going against some of the best guards in the PBA,” Brickman said. “It’s great to play against them, watching them in the PBA. Great to play against those guards and I think I did pretty well.”

The two games against the likes of Chris Ross, LA Tenorio and K also served as a step in the right direction for Brickman and Alab going into the ABL season opener on Sunday against his former team Mono Vampire in Nonthaburi, Thailand.

Alab will be Brickman’s third team after helping the Westports Malaysia Dragons win the 2016 crown and on the losing end for Mono in the 2018 Finals against Alab.

Having all three imports — Adrian Forbes, Khalif Wyatt and new addition Nick King — also gave Alab a chance to get a feel of having a complete roster before the ABL opener, Brickman also mentioned.

“This was the first time that the team played together with a full team and I think we looked pretty good that the first time, especially on defense,” Brickman said. “We really passed and shared the ball. I think we’re ready for the season.”
