Letran playmaker Alas invited to tryout for US minor league team

Letran's Kevin Alas has been invited by a Los Angeles team to tryout in the minor league American Basketball Association. Letran coach and Alas' father Louie said that his high-scoring son was invited by the team through PBA D-League squad Cebuana Lhuillier. Louie Alas said that he will still talk with school management about the possibility of his son trying out for the Los Angeles Slam. "But he can continue his studies online. The ABA will also not be in conflict with the NCAA," said the older Alas. The current ABA, not affiliated with the older league in the 1970s where Julius Erving made a name as the New York Nets' high-flying forward, is a minor league with 95 teams playing in different regions in the United States. Kevin Alas is Letran's leading scorer with 16.2 points a game. He also leads the league in assists (5.2) and steals (1.8) per game after 10 games. - Reuben Terrado/JVP, GMA News
