Remembering NCC Days - Franz Pumaren

"Calma is good. But you must also give him three to five minutes rest per game Specifically, 
I took in Franz Pu maren to perform while Calma is on the bench. I needed a guy who can 
play during Calma's absence. A player who will not lose the game for us. He may not win 
the game for us, but the most important thing is he'll keep us in the game while Hector's 
in the bench," explained Ron.. For Franz Pumaren, playing as Calma's reliever is just okay" 
Franz says, "I consider him one of the best guards in the Philippines. In the PBA, 
he can be classified as one of the finest. In a manner, it's an honor for me to be backing him up. 
Imagine, there are lots of good guards around but I was chosen to back him up.
