Juan Gomez de Liaño aims to prove Converge's trust in him was well-placed after being selected second overall in the 2025 PBA Rookie Draft.

He stated his primary goal is to repay the confidence Converge has shown in him by giving his best performance.

Converge secured Gomez de Liaño after acquiring the second pick from the Phoenix Fuel Masters, trading Bryan Santos and the eighth pick.

This move positions Gomez de Liaño with a legitimate contender, complementing their existing strong roster including Justine Baltazar and Justin Arana.

Gomez de Liaño is excited to represent Converge, noting that they are on the same page with the team's goal of winning a championship.

He previously opted to forgo his last season of UAAP eligibility with the Maroons after Season 82 in 2019 as he turned pro.

Converge also designated Pampanga vice governor Dennis "Delta" Pineda as its new coach.
