NLEX formally signed JR Quinahan, Raul Soyud and Michael Miranda to contract extensions on Wednesday.
Player agent Danny Espiritu posted separate photos of Quinahan and Soyud bumping fists with Road Warriors executive Ronald Dulatre after inking on the dotted line at the NLEX office in Balintawak.
Terms were not disclosed but NLEX management is thrilled to keep the three players in the fold.
Quinahan was the Road Warriors’ third leading scorer of the recent PBA Philippine Cup bubble with 13.8 points on 42-percent shooting while grabbing 6.6 rebounds and dishing out 3.0 assists in 11 games.
Soyud emerged as coach Yeng Guiao’s biggest revelation after posting 10.0 points on a 74-percent clip and 6.8 rebounds. His performance made the former University of the Philippines standout a candidate for the Most Improved Player award.
Painful memories ran through Christian Wood’s mind as he signed a three-year, $41 million contract at the Houston Rockets’ offices in November.
Undrafted.
Cut by a team in China before even playing in a game.
Numerous stints in the G League.

“The long-term contract meant a lot to me,” Wood, 25, told The Undefeated in a phone interview on Sunday. “It showed me how hard I worked and how far I came from going from a minimum and non-guaranteed contract to being waived a number of times that I couldn’t even tell you to signing three years, $41 million. It’s incredible.

A major report by the Wall Street Journal finds typical families at dozens of schools are borrowing almost $100,000 to finance student education, data from the U.S. Education Department show.

The new mayor of Warwick is best known for two things pulling off one of the biggest political upsets in Rhode Island history and great Christmas decorations.
For the affable Picozzi, he needs to prove that his victory was more about a new vision for Warwick and less about the dislike of soon to be former Mayor Joe Solomon a man who insulted and offended almost everyone in town.
The former Warwick School Committee has some, but limited experience.
Warwick Democrats on the City Council and in the legislature will be circling like sharks.
