Raul Soyud set to join Gilas in Calambubble


Raul Soyud’s breakout season has resulted in a national team invite.

The 6-foot-6 NLEX big man is set to join Gilas Pilipinas in their preparation for the upcoming Clark window of the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers.

Gilas team manager confirmed the development to Tiebreaker Times.

Soyud, a seven-year pro out of University of the Philippines, had a standout campaign during the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup, averaging 10.0 points on 74-percent shooting from the field and 6.82 rebounds in 11 games played.

Juan Gomez de Liano, who is coming off a dental operation, will join the team as well. The 6-foot guard is averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in three games played.

Cui is also expecting that a couple more PBA pros will join the team on Friday.

Currently in the bubble are Kiefer Ravena, CJ Perez, Justin Chua, Isaac Go, Matt Nieto, Mike Nieto, Rey Suerte, Javi Gomez de LiaƱo, Dave Ildefonso, Justine Baltazar, Calvin Oftana, William Navarro, and Kemark Carino. Angelo Kouame is also helping out the team.
