“It was an amazing experience. I really valued every minute I spent with the team the past month. It’s really great to be with an organization and I learned a ton. I felt I was back in school a little bit with the amount of notes

I took. I’m thankful to Vlade and the entire organization for the opportunity,” pahayag ni Alapag.

Inamin naman niyang bukas siya sa oportunidad na muling makabalik sa Summer League.

“There are plans that I will join them again next summer. So in the meantime, I will continue to grow and learn then we’ll see what’s next,” aniya.
