Sources indicate that big man Justin Arana has been officially contacted by Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) officials to prepare his papers for an upcoming call-up to Gilas Pilipinas in the next window.
While the FiberXers' season may not have ended exactly as he hoped, things are looking up for Arana as he is set to join teammates Justin Baltazar and Juan Gomez de Liaño in the Gilas Pool.
Although the chances of him suiting up immediately are considered low given the prior addition of Justin Baltazar and the naturalization of Mike Phillips, Arana's presence adds significant depth and size to the national pool.
