“Just try to fill the gap left by Kevin (Alas)–both [through] his offense and leadership,” the newly minted representative to the league’s board told the Inquirer in a message on Tuesday.

Bolick’s rights were acquired by NLEX from NorthPort in a three-team trade involving San Miguel Beer. He arrives at a time when the club is dealing with the absence of its cornerstone Alas, who suffered a third-straight knee ligament tear.

Also slated is a jersey retirement ceremony for former league Most Valuable Player Asi Taulava.

“We chose to retire his jersey in a game with TNT, as it is the team where he started his PBA career,” Dulatre said of the short event.

Dulatre also said that Tualava will remain a part of NLEX’s plans moving forward, as the latter is set to become a corporate ambassador.

Taulava, a PBA champion and a 17-time All-Star, has been activated by the team management on Tuesday–setting up a chance to eclipse Robert Jaworski Sr.’s long-standing record for most seasons played at 23.
