ROOKIE DIARY: PING EXCIMINIANO
In my first stint in the PBA, I learned…
Yung pagiging pisikal, yung pagiging magulang. Kaya everyday sa practice, inaalam ko kila kuya Dondon Hontiveros yung pagiging madiskarte. Sa practice kasi, laging hawakan eh, pisikal. Kaya yun yung mga gusto kong matutunan pa.
My favorite moment as a pro was…
Yung game ko against Air21. Yun yung first game ko. Yun yung unang game na na-lineup ako. Na-reserve ako ng three games. Pagbalik ko, sila yung kalaban namin. Thankful naman ako na pagpasok ko, maganda yung naipakita ko. Yun yung di ko makakalimutan.
(Exciminiano went 4-of-4 from three-point region to finish with 16 points in that game.)
My biggest adjustments came in…
Medyo nahirapan ako sa offense kasi walang nage-expect ng offense ko eh. Kilala nila ako na more on defense talaga. Sabi lang nila, pag may open, tira ka lang.
I still have to improve on…
Marami pa. Sa pagiging point guard, kailangan ko pang maging solid guard, tapos I still have to work on my consistency sa shooting.
Grade your performance so far as a pro from 1 to 10.
Nasa five pa lang ako eh. Humble lang (laughs). (RL)
