After spending the past few years as a benchwarmer, Jerrick Ahanmisi is now having his breakout season while playing for the Magnolia Timplados Hotshots.<\/p>\n
Quite a number of times this season, the younger Ahanmisi is being relied upon by head coach Chito Victolero and the former Adamson star has been providing the firepower needed by the Hotshots to ease up the load on resident veteran stars Paul Lee and Mark Barroca.<\/p>\n
Jerrick\u2019s elder brother,\u00a0 Maverick, who now plays for Barangay Ginebra, knows that the younger Ahanmisi can become a much better player under the tutelage of Lee. Maverick and Paul played together when they were with Rain or Shine, then coached by Yeng Guiao, and together they won a championship in the 2016 Commissioner\u2019s Cup while also teaming up in the Philippine squad during the 2018 Asian James in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cI trust that he\u2019ll be better. He has Paul, who also served as my mentor,\u201d said the elder Ahanmisi. \u201cI think he\u2019s in good hands over there.\u201d<\/p>\n
But more than the mentorship, it\u2019s Jerrick\u2019s work ethics which also should be given more value, according to Maverick.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been working hard. What a lot of people don\u2019t see is the number of hours he spends in the gym and weight room,\u201d added Maverick. \u201cIt\u2019s finally that all those hard work is coming to light now. It\u2019s not a shock to me that he could play like that. It\u2019s good that he\u2019s getting the opportunity now and he\u2019s taking advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n
