Former Alab Pilipinas gunner Jermiah Gray revealed that he plans on entering the next draft of the PBA.

The 23-year-old emerging star said that if he is eligible and all his papers would get accepted, he will suit up for the draft and hopefully get selected.

Having played under the helm of coach Jimmy Alapag and coach Charles Tiu in his international stints representing the Philippines, Gray said that it is his long-time dream to play in the PBA.

The impressive skill-set the 6-foot-6 guard had was instrumental to Alab’s winning season.

“Coach Jimmy always taught me to always work hard and never waste time, and to cherish and appreciate the time I have as a professional player,” said Gray.

Gray’s superb athleticism, handles, and shooting ability were on full display during his stint with Alab.

When asked what team he would like to suit up for in the PBA, Gray said that he wants to wear the Brgy. Ginebra uniform.

“I’ve seen the games and the culture that they have as a team, and I would love to be a part of that culture and learn from the legendary Tim Cone and boss Al (Chua) on how to become a champion,” he said.
