From being a Growling Tiger, Renzo Subido is now ready to be a Knight.
After a heartbreaking end to his stay in University of Santo Tomas, the 5-foot-7 guard looks to help the San Juan-Go for Gold Knights to back-to-back crowns in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.
Subido shared that he will be laser-focused with the Knights, delaying his PBA plans for the time being.
“For me, I’m gonna be playing in the MPBL for the San Juan Knights,” he shared.
“For now, focus lang ako with the MPBL kasi ‘yun lang naman ang task at hand.”
In his final year, Subido proved that he belongs with the big boys.
Subido posted norms of 8.8 points on a 34-percent clip from downtown, 3.8 assists, and 2.1 rebounds. He also helped UST to two Finals appearances.
Growling Tigers head coach Aldin Ayo knows that Subido will flourish wherever he goes, since he made sure to prep him before he embarked in the next stage of his life.
“All season long, I was very, very hard on him,” he said. “Tinutukan ko siya at may mga aspeto ng laro niya at pagkatao niyang sinubukan kong baguhin at i-improve.
“Alam naman namin pareho na, in the long run, makakatulong ‘yun sa kanya.”
