    PBA can wait as big men Jeo Ambohot, Ato Ular staying put at Letran

    Knights assured of two frontline pillars after Muyang declares intention to join PBA draft
    Dec 17, 2020

    LARRY Muyang is heading for the PBA, but his frontcourt partners in Letran are staying put in Muralla.

    Jeo Ambohot and Ato Ular have expressed their continued commitment to the Knights' quest for back-to-back championships in the upcoming NCAA Season 96.

    "Lalaruin ko muna ang last year ko," said the 6-foot-6 Ambohot, who hails from Davao.

    The 6-foot-4 Ular, who comes from Tarlac, echoed those sentiments and said, "Next year pa po ako sasali."

    The two are integral parts of Letran's vaunted frontline which, together with Muyang, helped capture for the school the NCAA Season 95 title.

    Ambohot, a member of coach Chot Reyes' 23-for-2023 Gilas cadets list, averaged 6.5 points on a 40-percent shooting clip, alongside 6.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 20.8 minutes last year.

    Meanwhile, Ular had his breakout last season, tallying 9.9 points on a 55-percent field goal shooting, on top of 7.5 boards in his 21.9 minutes of action.

      The prospects of joining the next PBA Rookie Draft may be tempting, yet both believe it's for their betterment to play out their final playing year under coach Bonnie Tan, especially with Letran serving as hosts for the next NCAA season.

      It also presents an interesting development for the Knights, with transferees Rhenz Abando, Brent Paraiso, and Ira Bataller from University of Santo Tomas likely to play for their next campaign whenever the league resumes its competitions.
