MANILA –<\/strong>– Looking to shore up its wing rotation, GlobalPort has taken the services of former Lyceum player Jebb Bulawan, the PBA announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Bulawan, who became prominent by winning the 2015 NCAA Slam Dunk Contest, was selected in the third round — 31st overall — by Meralco in last year’s PBA Draft.<\/p>\n

However, the club did not sign him up, relegating him to the free agents list.<\/p>\n

The Batang Pier picked the six-foot-four Bulawan from free agency, hoping to solidify its small forward rotation. They then waived veteran guard Jeff Viernes and rookie guard Michael Juico in the process.<\/p>\n

Bulawan is eligible to play on Saturday, when GlobalPort takes on Alaska on Saturday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.<\/p>\n

The Batang Pier and the Aces collide at 4:30 p.m., just before the Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters battle the Magnolia Hotshots at 6:45 p.m.
\nMagnolia also made a new signing in Curtis Kelly.<\/p>\n

Kelly, who was officially measured by the league at a shade below six-feet-eight, will be the Hotshots’ new import, replacing Vernon Macklin.<\/p>\n
