All eyes on point guards
Filipino-American guard Jason Brickman, 33, is officially entering the upcoming PBA Rookie Draft on September 7.
He brings a wealth of international experience, having played in Russia, Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the Philippines (ABL and MPBL), and has won multiple championships.
Brickman was described as another John Stockton, and in his collegiate career at LIU Brooklyn, he achieved over 1,000 career assists, a feat shared by only a few NCAA D1 players.
In his senior season, he averaged a double-double of 10 points and 11.5 assists, becoming the first D1 player since Avery Johnson in 1987-88 to do so.
Most recently, in Taiwan's T1 League in 2023-24, he averaged 17.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 12.7 assists, leading the league in assists and shooting percentages.
Brickman's entry into the PBA was delayed due to the time it took to obtain his Philippine passport, but he is now eligible under the PBA's revised rules.
He is considered one of the top point guard prospects in the draft, expected to make an immediate impact.
