Chot Reyes ‏@coachot

...Still I support him & wish @japethaguilar35 the best.

To all those asking, I laud @japethaguilar35 attempt 4 d NBA,but I think a PBA/Gilas contract is MUCH better than an NBDL practice player's

Meanwhile SMC Executive Noli Eala reaction on his twitter account was:

So many scenarios left. 2,3 n 4-way tie could still ensue. Bottom line Petron needs to win tonight to avoid 2x to beat disadvantage..

I believe in Japeth's talent. That's why we got him in Gilas. And that's also the reason y I think he deserves more.

Don't know of an NBA player who started as a "practice player" in a DLeague team. Obviously that's nt d place scouts look at.

@jasmin_romero Let's just say, many have taken that road only to realize its a dead end.

Japeth is taking the same route that he took in his college days. Arguably that move didn't really boost his game or career.

So Japeth has accepted the offer of Sta. Cruz Warriors to be a practice player in pursuit of his "dream". Wow. Smh
