MANILA, Philippines–Kevin Quiambao’s game has been on an upward trend for La Salle Green Archers but that did not surprise coach Topex Robinson one bit.

After the Green Archers’ dominant 101-79 victory over Letran, Robinson lauded Quiambao’s all-around effort that pushed them a step forward in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup.

“Coming here, or at least when I came in, we already knew the potential of Kevin. We knew what he could bring,” said Robinson, who took over for La Salle in January.
