TNT is not only stacking up on its firepower, but likewise on its reserve arsenal.
Rookie Sean Quitevis is the latest addition to the growing armory of the Tropang 5G after he was signed as part of the team’s pool of practice players.
With Quitevis in the group are sophomore Avan Nava and another rookie in big man Joe Celzo.

Team manager Jojo Lastimosa confirmed the signing of Quitevis, the former Ateneo Blue Eagles team captain, who was TNT’s first pick in the last Season 50 draft, selecting him during the third round.
All three practice players have been signed by the franchise until the end of the season.
Quitevis is nothing new to the TNT system under coach Chot Reyes, having attended the Tropang 5G’s training camp in the past prior to declaring for the PBA draft.
Although not yet part of the team’s official 15-man roster, Nava, Celzo, and Quitevis remain part of a TNT crew that is seeking to retain the Commissioner’s Cup title which they won last year behind Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
The Tropang 5G currently sports an even 1-1 record behind 7-foot-3 Bol Bol and will face two-time Philippine Cup finals tormentor San Miguel Beermen on Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
