After the Sta. Lucia Realtors disbanded and sold its franchise to Meralco, almost everyone gave up on a team that doesn't have any genuine go-to-guy on the court. Coupled with an aging frontline composed of Marlou Aquino and Nick Belasco, nobody in their right mind would bet a hundred peso on a team that finished at the bottom of the heap during the 2010 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Cup.
This sense of gloom ended after the Meralco Bolts made some interesting moves in acquiring Macmac Cardona and Asi Taulava in exchange for some role players and future draft picks. In a quick turnaround, the Bolts became a team to reckon with. The numbers brought by Cardona and Taulava made the Bolts an instant contender for at least a quarterfinal slot. Whether or not those numbers can inspire the rest of team remains to be seen, but for now those numbers promised a lot of things.
Below are the average numbers of the Bolts players last conference, which, hopefully, could translate into something more productive in the next two years:
