The team hired NBA veteran Lamar Odom, Ginebra resident import Justin Brownlee and Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) veteran Randolph Morris to lead their line up. Additionally, the team hired a pair of exciting Fil-Am players in Jeremiah Gray and Roosevelt Adams. Other members of the team are former PBA players Jett Manuel and Joseph Yeo, exciting UP playmaker Juan Gomez de Liano, Jason Brickman, Gab Banal, Angelo Wongchuking, La Salle forward Santi Santillan, NU's Troy Rike and College of St. Benilde’s Justin Gutang.[16][17][18][19]
