Vernon Macklin heads to Ginbera

Vernon Macklin
Vernon Macklin (208 cm, Florida’11) is joining up with Philippine team Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (PBA) until the end of this season. The 26-year old power forward will be joining from D-League team the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in his native USA, with whom he played 22 games this season and scored 14.6 points per game. Macklin had started the 2012-2013 campaign with Royal Hali Gaziantep in the Turkish Basketball League and managed averages of 6.6ppg and 1.6rpg over 6 games.

Known as an explosive power forward, Vernon Macklin will certainly become a danger man for Ginbera, where he will hope to continue his good play at the hoop. Macklin was drafted from Florida University to the Detroit Pistons for the 2011-2012 season. With the Pistons he played 23 games but only averaged a few minutes on the court picking up 2.0ppg.
