Scouting Report:
Demanded to be traded by Purefoods citing lack of playing time and he got his wish, or did he? He was dealt to Brgy. Ginebra for a second round pick and some pennies... hard to imagine how he can play in a team where there are already solid players at the point guard spot (Johnny Abarrientos, Macky Escalona, and Jayjay Helterbrand)... looks like he came from a bad situation to even worse... an energy boost off the bench... very, very fast... in fact the book against him is that he is all speed and nothing else... well, he can shoot, once in a while and hit his free throws once in a while... jumper has improved compared to what it was two years ago, and you realized how bad it was before... starred for the UE Red Warriors in the UAAP... MVP in the inaugural season of the Champion's League (2002)... formed a deadly twosome with buddy James Yap in the UAAP and the PBL... drafted 11th overall (1st in the second round) in the 2004 PBA draft...Voted #10 in the 2005 annual centerfold list of a glossy women's magazine.. member of Champions for Christ Fellowship... nicknamed "Kid Lightning" because of his blinding speed... could dominate a game without scoring and is at his best in the open court where he often utilizes his great peripheral vision and handles to gain advantage... no one will win a track race against him.
