Powcast.net had a chance to conduct an interview with Troy Rosario before the recently held PBA Rookie Draft and asked some questions about him entering the PBA and being part of the national squad.
Powcast.net : ” Being a part of gilas with the PBA stars, how do you feel about it?
Troy: ” Masaya ako, overwhelming yung feeling kasi nakasali ako sa pagpipilian para sa final 12.”
The former NU bulldog who is now officially part of the PBA with The tropang Texters is still shocked and overwhelmed in being a part of the country’s national team given the fact that he is the youngest in the team’s roster.
“Ako pinakabata pero tinutulungan ako ng mga vets at binibigyan ng tips kung ano iexpect ko sa pba. Marami ako natututunan at matutunan for sure.”
Playing with the veterans in the PBA such as Asi Taulava, Jimmy Alapag, Sonny Thoss and alot more experienced PBA players, is definitely an edge and a rare opportunity that Troy is so blessed to have also with the addition of Jordan Clarkson in the sideline, this kid will learn more about maturity in terms of professional basketball.
Powcast.net :” What are the things that we can expect from the National Team (Gilas) and from you?”
Troy: “ syempre gagawin namin lahat at ibibigay lahat ng maitutulong namin para manalo sa mga leagues na sasalihan namin.”
When asked what team he would like to play in the PBA before the draft or any favorite team of him in the current PBA teams, he answered,
” Wala naman ako specific team na gusto paglaruan. Sabi ko nga kahit saan ako mapunta susuklian ko yung tiwalang binigay nila sa akin.“
Now that Troy Rosario will be playing for TNT along side Moala Tautua we can definitely say that the team has acquired the best talents available in the draft and those two are now playing in the national team which adds experience and confidence once they debut in the Philippine Basketball Associaton’s Hardcourt this coming october.
