DAVAO CITY---Jeo Ambohot, a player for New Bataan in Davao de Oro, is still hungry to get better for Converge in the upcoming PBA season later this year despite his 31-point outburst.

In a 109-84 drubbing of TNT Tropang Giga on Wednesday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, the third overall choice in last year's rookie draft turned in his greatest performance to date for FiberX. He made eight three-pointers in the game.

Four days after his wife delivered their first child, Waylon Jaize, the 6-foot-7 forward played with inspiration.

Converge coach Aldin Ayo was delighted by Ambohot's performance despite missing some of practice and having little sleep.

The Letran player who won the MVP award at the 1997 NCAA Finals stated he was disappointed with his restricted playing time in his first PBA season, but he also understood that he needed to grow and learn more from his coaches, Ayo and Danny Ildefonso.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
