Purves yet to see Filipino good enough to play in NBA. Who comes closest?


AS much as he loves Philippine basketball, American coach and Memphis Grizzlies scout John Todd Purves is honest enough to admit he has not seen a Filipino player good enough to play in the NBA right now.

“If there is any Filipino player I can see playing at that level, I’d be the first to bring him there (NBA),” said Purves, currently the coaching consultant of Petron Blaze in the PBA.

“I’ve been observing all the games in the PBA. But there’s no one in particular I am trying to bring to the NBA right now,” added the amiable Petron official.
