The veteran coach praised the foreign recruit for helping Elasto Painters secure the top seed in the group stage and bravely overcoming an eye injury in their second match to lead the team to an emotional best-of-five quarter-final win over Magnolia Hotshots.
Led by Fuller, Rain or Shine overcame a turbulent start to burst out in the clutch and finished with a 113-103 victory to set up a semi-final showdown with another top seed, TNT Tropang Giga.
None of this would have been possible without Fuller’s contribution, Guiao said.
“Aaron’s value is very clear. We wouldn’t be here without him. He carried the team with his broad shoulders, “Guiao said, praising the gentle foreign recruit.
