DAVAO CITY---Another promising basketball player from Davao de Oro has a significant chance of getting drafted in the 2022 PBA draft on May 15.

New Bataan, Davao de Oro forward/center, and Letran Knights player Jeo Ambohot ranked top 10 in the PBA mock draft.

Currently, Ambohot is ranked eighth in the mock draft.

Ambohot will join Monkayo de Oro scorer Rey Suerte in the PBA if drafted.

Last March 30, Albohot scored a career-high 20 points to carry the Knights to a 96-67 victory over Arellano in the NCAA Season 97 seniors basketball tournament at La Salle Greenhills.

Ambohot scored most of his points in the second half to pull his team away, where they led by as much as 32 points, 94-62, in the final minute.

The Davaoeno cager is on a mission in the game as he also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out three assists to carry the Knights to its second straight win.

Earlier, Ambohot skipped the 2021 PBA draft to help the Knights retain their basketball crown.

The decision of Ambohot to play his final year in a Knights uniform is good news since the 6'7 lanky center is a huge part of the team.

Ambohot's decision to stay will make the frontline roster of the team still formidable despite the absence of Muyang.

The promising Davaoeño center played a superb match for the Knights in their final victory against the San Beda Red Lions in 2019.

Before his remarkable performance in the finals, Ambohot was also playing well in the elimination round of season 95 of the NCAA.

He is also part of the  23 players eyed for the Gilas Pilipinas training pool for the 2023 Fiba World Cup in the Philippines.

Former national team coach Chot Reyes picked Ambohot because he is a versatile big man who can shoot from the outside and play perimeter defense because of his size. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
