Lastimosa, 24, has been the rock for Adamson the past two seasons and posted averages of 15.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.0 steal this past UAAP Season 85.
He led the San Marcelino crew to the Final Four despite a dislocated right foot and willed his team past La Salle in the playoff for the final playoff spot before bowing to top seed Ateneo in the semis.
Lastimosa's exceptional play attracted interest overseas, among them clubs from the Korean Basketball League, yet he ultimately chose to remain in the country and finish his degree.
