DANILO SALVADOR Twenty-two-year-old Danilo Mora Salvador is a first cou- sin of erstwhile U-Tex Wrangler Alfonso "Boy" Mora, who was recently released by the Textilers together with Ed Camus. The Royal freshman was with the San Miguel Corporation hoop squad before entering the pro loop.The 1.75-meter (5'9") Salvador son of former SMC player Benedicto "Bennet" Salvador and the former Amparo Mora  is known to thrive on fast games and is adept in ball-handling.  A product of the San Sebastian Stags, Danny fits in exactly with the game plans of Jorge who emphasizes speed in his team's games. In fact, Jorge says of Dan- ny, "he's even moving too fast sometimes, but he is a real hustler." Danny's the second of five children of Bennet Salvador (himself a former SMC star player of yesteryears) and Amparo Mora. Which makes Danny a first cousin of U/tex player Alfonso (Boy) Mora. He has played at MLQU and with the San Sebastian junior team during his high school years before his three- year stint with the San Sebastian Stags.
