Prince Caperal was a thorn in the side of Nash Racela and Blackwater Thursday night at the AUF Sports & Cultural Center powered by SMART 5G.
The 6-foot-7 big man scored a career-high 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting, leading Geneva to a 103-99 victory over Blackwater.
“I am happy for him, and I hope he maintains this performance and is a regular part of Geneva’s front-line rotation.” Racela said about the departure of the six-year-old professional, who is beginning to find his niche at PBA.
The 48-year-old strategist has always been a fan of Caperal’s game. Since Caperal was in Arellano, Racela has been watching him.
“I’m not very surprised by Prince’s performance in Geneva’s first two games in the bubble. We are very aware of what he can do and contribute to his team, since we trained him previously in the D-League of Fruitas ”. Racela naked.
Then when Racela took over as TNT’s head coach in 2016, one of the players on her wish list was Caperal.
Her desire to land Caperal came to a head when Mo Tautuaa was traded from TNT to NorthPort in 2018. Racela hoped TNT would make a play for Caperal, who was in Mahindra at the time.
Caperal ended up signing with Geneva as a free agent.
“It was actually on my wish list when I was still coaching TNT a couple of years ago, but obviously the Geneva management beat us to hire.”
With the way he’s playing, it looks like Caperal has found a home in Geneva. Dear, as they say.
