Batid ng dating Gilas Pilipinas standout na naging kontrobersiyal ang pagkakuha ng Beermen ng karapatan para sa top pick mula sa Kia Picanto, gayunpaman, naniniwala siyang labas na siya sa anumang napagkasunduan ng dalawang koponan..

“I’m actually really good at letting everything out. I’m really good at just focusing on my projects, like my Youtube channel that I’m gonna do in the Philippines now in English, and about my career in basketball,” ayon kay Standhardinger.

“So I don’t really pay attention to these things. I’m just happy it finally worked out. I’ll play in the PBA now and I’ll play with San Miguel.”

“Finally I’m officially part of the PBA and I’m very, very excited about it,” aniya.

Bukod pa sa oportunidad na makapaglaro sa PBA, excited na rin si Standhardinger na makapaglaro kasama ng reigning four-time Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo.

“June Mar is a great, great talent. He can do so many things. I’m very excited,” ani Standhardinger. “All the match-ups against us, I really wanna see that. I’m very excited on playing high-low with June Mar and it’s an honor and it’s a great thing that I can play with a four-time MVP.”

“That’s what I got, that’s what I had, that’s what I saw.”

Kakailanganin muna niyang tapusin ang nauna niyang commitment sa defending ASEAN Basketball League champion Hongkong Eastern Sports Club sa loob ng anim na buwan.

“I’m obviously trying to win a championship in Hongkong now and after that I can’t wait to be part of the PBA, a part of San Miguel,” pagtatapos ni Standhardinger.
