Blackwater agrees to sign Paras, Torralba to two-year deals, Acuno to one season


Blackwater has come to terms with three of its selections in the 2021 PBA Rookie Draft.

First off, the Bossing has come in principle to sign 27th overall pick Andre Paras to a two-year deal.

Paras, 25, is a 6-foot-5 tenacious rebounder and is a product of AMA Online Education.

Joshua Torralba, a 6-foot-2 combo guard, also signed a two-year deal.

Finally, Rey Mark Acuno, the Bossing’s surprise pick at 16, got a one-year deal.

The trio only agreed in principle since the lockdown in Manila has forced the team to postpone the face-to-face contract signing until after Holy Week.

Other Bossing picks were Jun Manzo (38th), Kimlee Bayquin (48th), and Jeson Delfinado (56th).
