“It’s something I’ve been working on, you know, continuously is my vertical, you know, getting faster on the court, working on my laterals,” added one of the youngest players in the pool although the second tallest at 6-foot-6. He was part of the champion team of the Blue Eagles and was a vital cog to their campaign that saw them dethrone the UP Fighting Maroons in Season 85.
However, Ballungay, who is projected to be a first round pick in the draft, and could even go as high as inside the Top 5, forgo his remaining years and left Ateneo’s nest to turn pro – a move that came as a shocker for the Blue Eagles community.
