 Seoul Samsung had no relationship with the Philippine Asia Quarter. William Navarro was recruited ahead of last season, but he was unable to join the team because the Philippine Basketball Association did not issue a transfer agreement. Afterwards, he signed with Christian David, but left Korea without playing a single game due to a knee injury. Here is not the end. During the season, we contacted Justin Baltazar, who played in the Japanese B. League, and signed a contract. However, Balthazar suddenly lost his dive, and in the end, he failed to register as a player, and once again swallowed his disappointment.

He averaged 14.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over three years at St. Francis Xavier University.
