previous posts stated that he was scouted by the PBA but he declined...

Fil-Am calls the shots for Miami Heat

In a previous interview, Spoelstra said he’s aware of how basketball is loved by Filipinos.
“I know about the PBA,” said Spoelstra. “I know Billy Ray Bates played there. Jim Kelly invited me to play in the PBA some years ago and I think it was for the Coca-Cola team. I would’ve been eligible to play as a local.”
not quite yet, most reviews i read on him says he IS the next... Bynum. full of potential, and as the article ram posted, could either be a big hit or a huge miss.Coke_Hero said:So DeAndre Jordan's like another Dwight Howard? That'd be interesting.

yeah, he played for red bull in 2005 Fiesta Conference before joining the Miami Heat in the 2005-06 season. he led red bull to win the championship trophy at the expense of purefoods in the best of 7 series, 4-2. however, barron was beaten by then purefoods import, marquin chandler for the best import plum.Alex07 said:
Isn't this guy one of PBA's former imports?

Jordan could become the next GREAT big man. He will go high as his potential is off the charts. He's 7’0” and 255lb with great athleticism and the ability to dominate in the paint. It will take him years to develop an all around game, but if he focuses on rebounding and defense, everything else will come along in time. A special player here.
Draft Profile provided by: Brian Mazique - A rare athlete and specimen for a 7 footer, his game and focus must catch up to his physical ability. A difficult kid to pass up in a draft, considering the ceiling for a true footer like this, with great athleticism. The concern with Jordan is that he has yet to dominate on the collegiate level. He is a project at this point, any NBA team drafting him would be hard pressed to get more from him than a few highlight reel dunks, blocks and a ton of foul trouble. Give him a season or two more seasoning, allowing him to either gain discipline or fizzle out and then we would have a clearer picture of the next dominant big men in the NBA or Johan Petro.
