Chris Tiu joins PBA Draft - 2012

Good luck, Chris Tiu. Better late than never. If you don't make it, idiretso mo na ang pag-aartista.

"Chris Tiu beat the deadline for the 2012 PBA Rookie Draft yesterday to become one of the oldest amateur players in recent years to sign up for the pro league.

The 27-year-old Tiu, the former captain of the Smart Gilas national team, joins a marquee list of aspirants that includes Cebuano star June Mar Fajardo, NCAA Most Valuable Player Calvin Abueva and Filipino-American Cliff Hodge.

“I realized that God has given us talents for a reason,” said Tiu. “There’s a purpose for it and it should be used the correct way and it should be shared with others. I feel if I just leave basketball, it would be thrown away and put to waste. And I don’t want that.”

Tiu had hoped to continue donning the the national colors, but the Smart Gilas program was discontinued."
