MANILA, Philippines -- The National Basketball Training Center program, which counts Kai Sotto and Jalen Green among its alumni, is launching the Global Games to provide an even bigger platform for Filipino basketball players.
Altamirano noted that former NBTC players have gone on to play in the UAAP, the NCAA, and even the PBA. Recently, Green -- who played in the NBTC National Finals in 2018 and 2019 -- was taken second overall by the Houston Rockets in the NBA Rookie Draft. "Through this new program, we are hoping to provide a platform for the next Jalen Greens to emerge. There remains many young Filipino basketball players around the world waiting to be discovered," said Altamirano.
