FEATURED STORIES

Pasaol, the no.2 3×3 player in the Philippines, was already a viable draft prospect when he was still playing in the UAAP for University of the East.

Despite not winning a UAAP title, or even appearing in the Final Four, Pasaol was one of his generation’s brighter talents with the burly power forward once scoring a school record 49 points in 2017.

Pasaol then played with Zamboanga’s team in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and with Petron-Letran and Marineronong Pilipino in the PBA D-League.

Santillan, meanwhile, was the most successful of the UAAP players winning a title with De La Salle and transitioning his talents to the PBA D-League for Marinerong Pilipino and Zamboanga while also playing 3×3 for Zamboanga.

Rike, meanwhile, was a Gilas Cadet and a graduate of Wake Forest University in the United States.

He spent one postgraduate year in the UAAP with National University before playing in the PBA D-League with AMA then transitioning to the 3×3 circuit.
