MANILA, Philippines — High flying forward Jamie Malonzo is set to join NorthPort after he was selected second overall in the PBA’s Season 46 Rookie Draft Sunday.

A 6-foot-7 forward, Malonzo is considered a rarity in the Philippine game with a height fit for a big man and a game that is expected to be a handful in the wings.

A top prospect, the De La Salle product was even tabbed to be the No.1 pick, which emerged to be Joshua Munzon who went to Terrafirma.
