Justin Gutang to sign one-year deal with Changwon LG


Another Filipino is set to showcase his wares in the Korean Basketball League.

Justin Gutang is set to play for one season with Changwon LG. The official signing will take place on Wednesday.

Though technically under the radar, the 6-foot-4 winger is one of the top young prospects in the game today.

After forgoing his final year with College of Saint Benilde, Gutang, 24, played for Nueva Ecija during the 2021 Chooks-to-Go MPBL Invitationals, averaging 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game.2021-Chooks-MPBL-Nueva-Ecija-vs-San-Juan-Justin-Gutang Justin Gutang to sign one-year deal with Changwon LG Basketball MPBL News  - philippine sports news

During the first pro season of Filbasket, Gutang averaged 14.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, winning tournament MVP honors.2022-Filbasket-Summer-Championships-Semis-Game-1-San-Juan-vs-Tanduay-Justin-Gutang Justin Gutang to sign one-year deal with Changwon LG Basketball MPBL News  - philippine sports news

During his collegiate career, Gutang averaged 12.4 points, 6.91 rebounds, 4.26 assists, and 1.14 steals in 35 games played.
