He had fans going ga-ga in two seasons with the Cebu Gems - a spectacle never seen up South since the days of Jojo Lastimosa with Mama's Love in the early '80s.

The new millenium saw the talented Cebuano taking his act to the PBA by way of Tanduay, but not after a tug-of-war that saw his former team as well as San Miguel Beer fighting for the rights to have him down to the very end.

Some topnotch coaches say he is a can't-miss prospect. The 2000 season will see if that is true.

My Impression
A sharp shooter from the outside with a smooth signatured reverse lay up moves at the baseline. What makes him deadlier is the fact that he can slam that ball in your face. I saw him do that dunk in front of bigger men. Surely, Hontiveros is a one of a kind player.
