To the eyes of Arwind Santos and Chris Tiu, Petron rookie June Mar Fajardo is not just another big man.
“He’s the future of Philippine basketball,” Santos told InterAKTV. “Konting hasa na lang yan. Tuturuan na lang namin kung paano mangagat at lalong tumapang.”
The 6-foot-10, 22-year-old top overall rookie pick of Petron impressed a lot of people in his first tuneup game as he knocked down 17 points.
“He has size, strength and skills. Potent combination,” said Tiu. “He will be the future of Philippine basketball and it would be good if we will see him playing for the national team in the future because his level of play is a fit for international caliber.”
