PVL Draft second overall pick Jean Asis sees parallels in Galeries Tower with her past experience with the FEU Lady Tamaraws
MANILA, Philippines – Thrusted into helping an up-and-coming Galeries Tower team rise into PVL contention, second overall pick Jean Asis will lean on previous experiences to help set the tone for the Highrisers.
“Since I have experience with FEU that we rose from the bottom to the Final Four, I want to help Galeries to have a similar rise in the PVL,” Asis said in Filipino.
“It’s not easy to achieve our goals, but we will try our best to do it,” she added.
The Lady Tamaraws saw a steady rise from UAAP Season 84 to 87 as FEU improved from eighth to then made the semifinals in back-to-back years.
Flying under the radar before the draft, Asis turned heads with her performance during the draft combine, where she controlled the frontline in the scrimmages.
Proving her skills on both ends of the floor, the middle blocker will be a recipient of many sets from Julia Coronel and is expected to complement wings such as France Ronquillo and Jewel Encarnacion.
“It helped me a lot, you have to show combined skills there, so I just showed how I performed,” she said.
“I think it helped the coaches to see what potential I have as an athlete.” – Rappler.com
