Looking for a solid inside presence, Barako Bull got the services of Devon Dwayne Chism to power their campaign in the coming Commissioner’s Cup. The Energy Mixers is set to parade one of the most prolific import in the the Commissioner’s Cup 2014.

The former NBA D-league player, who arrived in the country on Monday, is also expected to provide experience to the Energy after suiting up as import in Turkey on 2010 and in Hungary just recently.
“Yung energy niya (Chism) saka yung malaking overseas experience niya, that will surely help us this conference. At the same, we hope he can give us the inside presence and rebounding presence nawala namin,” Barako (–foul word(s) removed–)istant coach Koy Banal said. (Statement from Spin.ph)
The 6’9 Chism is a former standout of University of Tennessee, where he posted team-highs 12.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks averages while leading his school to Elite Eight appearance in his senior year.
The 2010 undrafted power forward, played for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the 2010-2011 D-League season and averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 (–foul word(s) removed–)ists in 27 games.
And with the departure of Rico Maierhofer, Chism will likely play both four and five spots teaming up with Dorian Pena and Mic Pennisi to patrol the lanes for Barako.
