Before the end of the trading block, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (BGSM) acquired the point guard from Barako Bull Josh Urbiztondo in exchange to rookie Keith Jensen. The said trade was a shocker where the Ginebra fans had a lot of hopes that Keith Jensen will soon be the future star player for the Barangay.
Having only two (2) days of practice with his new team, Josh Urbiztondo had a great game against Rain or Shine Elasto Painters last saturday. The newly acquired guard played 37 minutes 4 points together with 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The said stats for Josh are not as hot as what LA Tenorio and Vernon Macklin contribution for the team to win the game but his presence on the court is amazing.
He had couple of crucial assists to Rudy Hatfield and Jayjay Helterbrand that let them lead the game. He also made the life of LA Tenorio easy and made "Gineral" fresh until the last stretch of the game. As the number 3 jersey for the Ginebra is the one bringing the ball and setting up his team mates, LA now can concentrate being a scorer for the Kings in the absence of the Heart of the PBA Mark "The Spark" Caguioa.
Coach Al Francis proved the critics wrong of having another guard in his lineup wherein the team is known to be missing "Big Guys" to help their import VMACK in the paint for inside presence and to guard opponents import and to preserve the energy of Vernon. It might be a gamble for Coach Al to get another guard but it was effective for the team at least for that game.
Josh Urbiztondo, did not made any three-point shots all through out the game but knowing the fireball there will be a game that all his 3 point shots are going in. Ginebra fans are hoping that he will be able to do the things he did on his Ginebra Debut this Monday against Rain or Shine and maybe make those treys as points.
