Scouting Report:
Finally gets the chance to play in the pro loop... was not drafted by any team in the 2006 PBA Draft despite a strong showing in the draft camps... actually applied for the draft two years ago but was stricken off the list as he failed to join the formal draft activity... could be a blessing in disguise as he is most mature, more controlled right now as a player... gives Purefoods what it does have for a very long time - a point guard who can actually shoot from the outside... Harbour Centre lead guard was Finals MVP in the recent PBL tourney, and also a member of the Mythical Five... Product of the Lyceum of the Philippines University... younger brother Harry Von is one of the stars of the CESAFI powerhouse University of the Visayas senior varsity team right now... prior to his stint with the Portmasters, he also played for Tribu Sugbu in the NBC.
