Teen basketball star Lebron Jhames Daep scores four points in La Salle debut

Lebron Jhames Daep, a teenage basketball sensation, made an immediate impact for La Salle's Green Archers by contributing four points and three rebounds in their season opener against Adamson on Monday night.

Daep, who recently transferred from Perpetual to La Salle, played 15 minutes and is expected to integrate into the team under coach Topex Robinson as he begins his collegiate career.

Perpetual Vice President for Sports Anton Tamayo formally welcomed Daep to La Salle in a commitment turnover meeting before the game, expressing pride in his transition.

The Albay native won both the Most Valuable Player and Finals MVP awards during his high school career with Perpetual, helping them secure their first basketball title since joining the league in 1984.

Daep's arrival at La Salle is timely as he fills the forward position left by Kevin Quiambao, who moved to Japan’s B. League, and will play under former teammate of his father Rommel during San Sebastian's NCAA reign.
