UAAP: Chambers challenging Pre to be a ‘take-charge kind of guy’ after rookie’s 31-pt outburst
FEU rookie Veejay Pre scored a career-high 31 points in the Tamaraws' 79-70 loss to UST.
Pre's standout performance included 14 rebounds and one block, and he expressed happiness with the team's fight despite several teammates battling food poisoning.
He mentioned that he actively sought to score due to his season-long struggles, and was inspired by De La Salle's Kevin Quiambao resetting his own career-high the previous night.
The 19-year-old big man became the first rookie to score over 30 points since Jeron Teng in 2012, with Ray Parks also achieving this feat in 2011.
Coach Sean Chambers is challenging Pre to become a 'take-charge kind of guy' following his impressive offensive outburst.
