Basketball Career:

The 6-foot-2 Reyes, once a high school teammate of NBA three-point champion Jason Kapono of the Miami Heat, helped Henkel-Sista to a third place finish in the recent Philippine Basketball League (PBL) Unity Cup.

Prior to his PBL stint, Reyes also saw action in the National Basketball Conference (NBC) and played for the Cebuana Lhuillier-sponsored national team in 2005.

Reyes is one of the few pure point guards in the 2007 PBA Draft. The things that make him stand out from the other point guards is his great size, athletic ability, solid perimeter shooting, driving skills, general court vision, defensive anticipation skills, ball handling and confidence in his abilities.

Although raised in the US, Reyes claimed that his parents were both Filipinos at the time he was born.

Statistics:

In his stint in the 2006 PBL season-ending conference, the 23-year-old Reyes led the Super Sealers in scoring with 11.4 points average, while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range and 82 percent from the free throw line.

Reyes, who played alongside Kapono at Artesian High in California, averaged 2.4 steals a game to pace the league.

During the 2008 PBA Philippine Cup, Reyes 10.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals in just 23.65 minutes on the floor. In the 2008 PBA Fiesta Cup, Reyes further improved on his numbers (9.73 ppg, 4.95 rpg, 3.9 apg and 2.7 spg) to earn him the Rookie of the Year honors.

Awards:

  • Fantastic Freshman during the PBL's 2007 Conference awards
  • 2007-2008 PBA Rookie of the Year
