“We’re looking forward to seeing his brand of basketball up close,” said Trillo.
“He’s a veteran playmaker who’s proven himself internationally and we’re excited to have him on board,” he added.
Brickman along with fellow top prospects Jeremiah Gray and Brandon Rosser were not able to join the recently concluded draft after failing to submit the necessary papers to join.
The three players were all expected to be picked early in the draft if they were available.
But Brickman will still get to strut his stuff in Asia’s oldest professional basketball league with the Meralco 3×3 team.
