Manila, Philippines—Converge selected Juan Gomez de Liaño in the 2025 PBA Rookie Draft, and he kept things straightforward.
After being chosen as the second overall pick in the Season 50 Draft, the young guard only promised to repay the FiberXers for their faith in him.
“There is nothing more I could possibly want.”
I’m honored that Converge picked me.
“I am familiar with the team’s owner, coaches, and management,”
Gomez de Liaño declared on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Music Hall. “I refuse to let them second-guess that choice. I will do everything in my power.
Converge thinks Gomez de Liaño, who developed his skills in three different foreign leagues following his time with the UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP, has a lot of potential.
In addition, the cunning playmaker is excited to finally play alongside his older brother, Javi, who just made a comeback to the PBA after playing in South Korea.
It’s going to be enjoyable. “I am so looking forward to that moment,” he continued.
