dulay impressed a lot of people during the pre-draft camps last year but went undrafted. the book against him is that he was deemed too short to play in the league (listed 5-8 but is really around 5-6) but they didn't say the same thing about Topex Robinson and Johnny Abarrientos. he's quick, well-built and has fine playmaking skills. he is doing well in the preseason and if he continues to impress Welcoat, he may just as well steal the spot of Denver Lopez on the starting lineup.
I've heard of Dulay who played for the Cebuana Lhuillier in PBL. Is this the same Don Dulay? I haven't had the chance to the videos in youtube but if it is, he is a very underated player with excellent talent. I saw glimpses of him in some of the PBL games, and I didn't understand why he didn't start over Escalona.
yes he's the one and the same dulay. why he didn't start? well, escalona is the more highly-profiled player and two, escalona's bigger.
