AJ Edu shines as Gilas Pilipinas' consistent big man

AJ Edu continues to impress as one of Gilas Pilipinas' most consistent big men during the FIBA World Cup 2023, despite the team's disappointing performance.

Edu scored 12 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in a loss to South Sudan on Thursday.

He credits his success to veterans like Japeth Aguilar and June Mar Fajardo, as well as playing alongside longtime teammate Kai Sotto.

Edu and Sotto first played together for the youth team at the 2018 FIBA Under-18 Asian Championship and are now reunited in the seniors team.
