Rob Reyes to Petron

Rumor has it that Petron is all set to acquire free agent big man Rob Reyes to bolster its frontline in the Philippine Cup.

It wasn't that long ago when Powerade head coach Bo Perasol, whom Reyes played for last season, went on Twitter and other forms of media to say that Reyes was contemplating an early retirement and was even rumored to be leaving for the US.

Well, it didn't take Reyes long before he wanted to play in the PBA again now did it?

We already saw this kind of scenario in the offseason with the Dondon Hontiveros' indecision whether he was going to sign again with Barako Bull or retire and head on home to Cebu. This of course, forced the Bulls to trade him back to Petron (he of the league's top 10 shooting guards today) alongside a THIRD overall draft pick (who turned out to be solid Chris Lutz) and Carlos Sharma.

Back to Reyes, I do hope that he gets the minutes at Petron and that he rediscovers his game. He used to be Eric Menk-like for Toyota Otis Letran in the PBL, but couldn't translate his amateur success to the pros for some reason.
