Jonathan Grey doesn’t mind dropping down to seventh in the first round of the 2016 PBA Rookie Draft, opting to look at the bright side as he joins a promising Meralco crew.
“Hindi ko iniisip yun. Sa akin, mula pa lang nung start, ang dream ko naman ay ma-draft lang. Basta sa akin, masayang-masaya ako na na-draft ako,” he said.
Grey was expected to fare among the top half of the regular draft. But despite the surprise drop, the former St. Benilde scorer believes he fits perfectly with Meralco.
“Sobrang fit ako sa team,” Grey noted, acknowledging the Bolts’ need to shore up in the wing position.
“Excited ako kasi makakasama ko sa practice yung players ng Meralco.”
Though he doesn’t want to get too caught up with the expectations, Grey just vowed to do his best for the Bolts this coming season.
“Gagawin ko yung best ko pag nag-start na yung practice. Alam naman natin kung gaano ka-grabe yung teamwork ng team nila. Excited ako talaga ako dahil marami akong matutunan, lalo na sa veterans nila. Sobrang excited ako talaga,” he said.
