The Marikina Shoemasters reached the playoffs last season at 8th seed in the Northern Division, but they were easily eliminated by the Pampanga Giant Lanterns in the first round of the playoffs. The team will have a new composition for the upcoming season since Coach Elvis Tolentino has transferred to the South Cotabato Warriors.
The team is mostly composed of little-known players including homegrowns RR Casajeros, Eloie Tan, Jomel Landayan and Silas Zaballe. The Shoemasters will have to rely on ex-PBA player Mon Basco and MPBL veteran Mel Mabigat for leadership.
Also part of the squad are Migs Castellano, Sidney Mosqueda, Andrei Igliane, Jexter Tolentino, Eric Pili, Jethro Escoto, Arman Demigaya, Sancho Vitug, Gama Evangelista and Jude Codinera. You can check out the lineup of other teams in the following link 2024 MPBL Season Teams and Lineup.
