Gifted with extraordinary height, length, and athleticism, it’s no wonder why this entertaining forward was the first homegrown Filipino to play NCAA DI. Japeth, widely regarded at the best athletic specimen (40 inch vertical and 7’2” wingspan) in the country, thrives in the open court where he has earned a cult following due to his thunderous dunks. He also possesses a steady midrange jumper and has led the league in blocks. After being tagged as the country’s next great big man and perhaps first first NBA player, Japeth’s potential is unparalleled. In 2012, he became the first Filipino to ever be drafted in the NBA Developmental League.
