Josh Urbiztondo was informed by Barako Bull management about his trade to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel on Wednesday, and the deadshot guard immediately expressed his excitement about joining his new team for the playoffs.

“I’m honored and excited. We all know Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is the most popular team in the PBA,” Urbiztondo told InterAKTV in a telephone interview.

Urbiztondo will have his first practice session with the Gin Kings on Thursday morning after the deal that sent him to Ginebra in exchange for rookie forward Keith Jensen and a second round pick.

“I need to learn the system fast,” added Urbiztondo. “I hope I can help my team immediately in the playoffs.”

Urbiztondo has had a banner Commissioner’s Cup, averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists for the tournament. But he failed to lead his team to the playoffs, as Barako Bull finished ninth despite a promising start.

The Filipino-American guard, who helped the B-MEG Llamados to the Commissioner’s Cup last season, is expected to boost the Ginebra backcourt, which is still missing injured superstar Mark Caguioa.

tamaa... atska kapag nakaupo si LA, asahan mo meron pa rin mag papatuloy ng alley oop plays... tandaan nyo si josh ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mas ginanahan si bowles nun last season kasi dahil sa mga alley oop pass ni josh..
