Another player whose career was rejuvenated at Shell and one of those players who gave the franchise a rejuvenation in its existence in the PBA.
A former Rookie of the Year winner while with defunct Presto in 1990, Gerry Esplana has regained his wits and is now once again one of the top point guards in the land, included in the list that has Johnny Abarrientos, Dindo Pumaren and Olsen Racela.
Finished with numbers of 10.5 points and 3.5 rebounds and four assists in a starting role, Esplana's renewed vigor has also given Shell another solid go-to-guy at the crunch - and he has delivered more often than not.
Will continue to start at the point for Ronquillo and is considered to be at the top of his game like Benjie, being in their early 30s.
