Castro comfortable with playing off the bench for TNT
Jayson Castro doesn’t mind going off the bench under coach Nash Racela as long as it’s for the benefit of TNT.
“Ok lang naman kasi kung maalala nyo, before kay coach Chot (Reyes), off the bench din naman ako,” he said. “Sanay ako doon tsaka kumportable ako, especially si coach Nash, alam nya naman yung kaya kong ibigay sa team.”
And the move hasn’t diminished Castro’s effectively at all as he helped KaTropa bag their second straight win with a 109-100 victory over Alaska on Friday.
He was still able to nab his usual numbers, finishing with 16 points, seven assists, and two rebounds in the win.
Since returning three weeks ago, Castro has been averaging 20.3 markers, 3.0 boards, and 5.3 dimes to give TNT a big boost as it ties at second place woth a 4-2 record.
“Ako naman either off the bench or starter ako, wala namang problema sa akin,” he said. “Hindi big deal sa akin yun as long as nanalo kami.”
