The 6-foot guard recently received a distinction from US basketball sportswriters for his contribution to the team.

The Fil-Am's name was previously floated for the Philippine team for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

However, he was not included in the national team's eventual callups due to eligibility issues, according to reports.

The 2021 NBA Draft is scheduled on July 29.
