It’s no secret San Miguel had been despearately looking for a court general who could be Olsen Racela’s understudy. And what better understudy can one get than LA Tenorio, whom the Beermen quickly tabbed No. 4 overall in the 2006 Draft.
Tenorio had successful years with Ateneo in the UAAP and was one of the key players in Harbour Center’s conquest of the PBL Unity Cup title where he was named the Finals MVP. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game in that tournament. Coach Chot Reyes said that Tenorio, he with the fantastic court vision and the eye from three-point range, will get his minutes in the All-Filipino tournament due to the injury of Brandon Cablay, the primary back-up guard in the team.
My Impression
Basketball is not only for big men but also for small ones with a big heart. One of the PBA's [notable guards. He played like a veteran during his first year at the league. I remember their game with Red Bull wherein he outplayed one of their opponent's big man. LA Tenorio will definitely mark a big name. A small player with a giant heart.
