Boysie Henares, the bearded TV Maker of Quasar, enjoys (or suffers?) the distinction of being one of the two sentinels in the team whose main job is to limit a highScoring opponent's output and help the center pluck those precious rebounds. Simple as it seems, it's definitely not so. Ask Boysie. Or perhaps Roy Deles. The 6-2 former Atenean has a style which a fan would describe as sluggish. Even his jump, which he seldom executes, at first glance, looks off. His dribble lacks control. But he has a powerful rebound. And a timely block. As one of the youngsters in the line-up, Boysie certainly is promising. He may not be a shooting potential like Cabading or Mora, but he has held his own. In defense, Boysie is a standout. But fans have shown their preference for the offensive players. They have given less eyes to the men who play defense, the men whom fans think as mere supporting hardcourt characters. But Boysie is least bothered. He knows what he wants. He knows what to do.
