Justin Chua has always played second fiddle to his more popular and seasoned teammates in Ateneo. But after being instrumental in Blackwater's championship run in the PBA D-League, people have started to notice the great potential of the 6'5'' center-forward. Picked tenth over-all by San Mig Coffee, Chua was immediately traded and now plays for Globalport where he is simply developing into a complete player
The unassuming rookie is definitely not in the mold of Greg Slaughter or Ian Sangalang. But Chua is nonetheless effective. Coach Boyet Fernandez of NLEX Road Warriors describes him as a very good defender with a reliable perimeter shot. As seen in Globalport's games, Justin Chua can be relied upon to defend and score, making him a vital cog.
Chua, for me, stands out among the rest of the PBA rookies this year because he gets his task done without much fanfare. He is also humble enough to admit his mistakes. In Globalport's loss to San Mig Coffee, he took the time to apologize to Golbalport fans after committing a last-minute error.
With his determination to improve and humility, I am sure Justin Chua will go a long way. He will be one rookie who will have longevity in the PBA. Incidentally, Ateneo and Blackwater won championships with Justin Chua in their line-up. It is therefore not far-fetched for Globalport to bag a crown with Chua in its line-up as well.
