Will Julius Pasculado be the next ace superstar or just another wasted talent rotting in the Alaska bench?
Pasculado, a 6’0 guard from Wilbur Wright College and the 13th overall pick of the Alaska Aces started making waves with his video highlights showing his arsenal of driving layups and impressive outside shooting.
He was considered as the most awaited rookie to watch, instead all the Aces fans saw was a thin-reed rookie sitting on the bench for the whole game, four games and four DNP’s.
A lot of questions had been raised why coach Joel Banal is not using the Fil-Am guard from Chicago, Illinois. So far, the only rookie left who has not yet played in the current PBA Phillipine Cup.
Some says, that he is just another example of an over hype Fil-Am player. From his video highlights, you will be impressed with his lateral quickness and blinding speed often getting by his defenders for a layup, but from the analysis of some observers, he was just being given loose-defense from the video highlights and doesn’t use his body strength while driving into the lane causing some raised eyebrows from the coaches.
In the PBA, you will have to engage to a lot of physical contact and with a thin-reed body type, his strength and conditioning maybe up for a question if he is a real PBA material.
Despite all this, he has impressed a lot of scouts in the Rookie Camp’s shooting drills when he made 19 out of his 25 shots from the field, a pure testament of his fine scoring skills.
Some observers believed that Pasculado is a true natural point-guard who can handle the ball really well, can pass and make his teammates better. Is he the real deal?
Here are Julius Pasculado’s Stats from Wilbur Wright College: 15 PPG / 6.2 APG / 1.9 RPG / 1.7 SPG / 2.6 TPG 50% FG / 88% FT / 35% 3PTS
