NLEX is set to shore up its frontline with the signing of Arnett Moultrie as its reinforcement for the 2018 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

The Road Warriors announced the development on their social media accounts on Tuesday, with the former Philadelphia big man set to arrive in April.

Coach Yeng Guiao is excited of what the 27-year-old Moultrie can bring to the table for NLEX.

“He’s not too young, nor too old, but at the peak of his abilities. He will blend easily to our team,” he said.

Moultrie spent two seasons with the 76ers, splitting time in the NBA and the NBA D-League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce and the Delaware 87ers.

He soon took his act overseas, playing in China, Puerto Rico, Turkey, Iran, Korea, and his latest, in Bahrain with Al-Muharraq.

Moultrie posted 22 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in his lone game with the club, a 95-87 victory against Al-Hala in the Bahrain Premier League.

He previously suited up for Incheon ET Land Elephants in the Korean Basketball League, where he averaged 11.5 markers, 11.5 boards, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 steals.
