GET TO KNOW JAPETH AGUILAR
Japeth Aguilar is unquestionably the most athletic big man on the Gilas roster. The Pampanga native is capable of bringing the crowd to its feet with one electrifying dunk or blocked shot.
The 27-year-old began his collegiate career with the Ateneo Blue Eagles before transfering to the United States to play for the Division I school Western Kentucky University. Aguilar was selected number 1 overall by the Burger King Burging Whoppers in the 2009 PBA Draft.
Alongside LA Tenorio, Aguilar is one of two Barangay Ginebra players on the Gilas squad. Aguilar has matured since he first began playing for the Philippine national team in the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship.
Though he no longer seems to look to score on dunks alone, he does appear to be too eager at times but has shown he can play under control. Despite his athletic gifts, Aguilar has a wiry frame which could work to his disadvantage when other bigs back him down in the post.
