MANILA, Philippines — Ateneo stalwart Dave Ildefonso has been officially unveiled as the Asian import of Suwon KT Sonicboom in the ongoing Korean Basketball League (KBL).
Ildefonso arrived in Korea earlier this week and has been training with Suwon before the team announced his acquisition the other day midway through the regular season.
The son of PBA legend Danny Ildefonso is coming off a championship with the Blue Eagles in the UAAP, and was also a member of Season 85 Mythical Five behind averages of 12.07 points, 8.29 rebounds, 2.64 assists and 1.14 steals.
He joined the likes of NCAA MVP Rhenz Abando of Letran (Anyang KGC), ex-Ateneo teammate SJ Belangel (Daegu), ex-FEU ace RJ Abarrientos (Ulsan) and St. Benilde’s Justin Gutang (Changwon) in the KBL.
Suwon currently sports a 13-15 card.
