UAAP champion CJ Cansino is eyeing to bring his winning pedigree to the PBA as the young wing throws his hat into the PBA draft.
MANILA, Philippines —
“I will be bringing my winning mentality. I know how to play in championship and I experienced being a champion. Those are what I can bring to the PBA,” the 24-year-old wingman said at the sidelines of the PBA Draft Combine at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City. He won a title with the Fighting Maroons in 2022, decades since the last championship of the Diliman-based squad.
He was among those who participated in the first day of the combine, where the rookie hopefuls showed out in games. “It’s more on being mature, the maturity of my game. I need to read and knowing that this is the PBA, everyone is good,” he said. Cansino averaged 12.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game for UP in his final UAAP season, leading the Fighting Maroons in scoring.
