JASON Brickman is set for his highly anticipated PBA debut.
The incoming rookie guard finally came to terms with Meralco and signed a one-year contract with the franchise which selected him in the first round of the Season 50 Draft.
Team manager Paolo Trillo confirmed to SPIN.ph the signing of the 34-year-old Fil-Am playmaker.
Brickman is represented by Espiritu Manotoc Basketball Management (EMBM).
Selected No. 7 overall, he is coming off a championship with the Abra North Weavers in the MPBL, where he was also named Finals MVP.
He's the second rookie to be signed by the Bolts in the offseason after big man Vince Magbuhos.
"I'm sure he's excited also to try and help our team in any way he can," said coach Luigi Trillo, whose team reached the semifinals of the Philippine Cup before falling to TNT in five games.
"It may be a bit tough, given he has joined us in the middle of the year, but let's see if he can develop and make our team better," added the Meralco mentor.
"We welcome him now as a Bolt."
