JUSTIN Brownlee Jr. and Jayce Devance are hoping to make their fathers proud, as they are set to play in the Manila Live 14U tournament later this month.
The second-generation players will represent Fil-Am Nation San Francisco in the age-group competition which will run simultaneously with the 2026 Smart-NBTC National Finals presented by SM Supermalls.
Brownlee, of course, is the son and namesake of Gilas Pilipinas naturalized player Justin, while Devance is the son of PBA veteran Joe.

Coincidentally, the elder Devance will coach the squad with the games set at CCF Center.
They will be one of the 48 teams participating in the division, with the finalists facing off at Mall of Asia Arena on March 28.
It's expected to be a rousing homecoming with Filipino talents raised in foreign land strutting their stuff in the event.
A total of 20 global partners from U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe have earned their way to the National Finals, with their other age-group teams competing in the seven divisions of Manila Live.
