Scouting Report:
Bono literally dominated the UAAP and the PBL during his last stint as an amateur and is equally determined to make the same kind of impact in the pro league… He was the 2006 UAAP MVP and was a member of the PBL Mythical Team last season… Bono is seen by experts as the best shooting big man to come out of the amateur ranks since Alvin Patrimonio in 1988… Bono’s three-point shooting prowess will put to shame most of the guards in the PBA… Doesn’t figure to have difficulty adjusting to Alaska’s system since assistant coach Luigi Trillo was his former coach at Adamson… Bono’s conditioning will be put to a test in the pros… Several people claim that he will have difficulty adjusting to the pro style because he is slow and plays lackluster defense… while a part of that may appear to be true, I think Bono will do great in the PBA because he is intelligent and knows how to maximize his strengths to use it to his full advantage… Bono’s drafting literally showed the door to veteran Nic Belasco who was traded to Welcoat for Junjun Cabatu.
