Yukien Andrada undecided yet on San Beda return

Yukien Andrada still has one more year left to play for San Beda University, but he revealed that he is still unsure about his return with the Red Lions.

The Red Lions were dethroned on Saturday as they fell to the twice-to-beat Benilde Blazers in the NCAA Final Four.

"I'm still thinking about it pero wala pa talaga akong final decision if I'm gonna stay or if I'm gonna go to the draft," Andrada said.

"If there's opportunities to go to the pros, 'yun naman ang pangarap ko rin, pangarap ko sa level na 'yun. I'm still deciding on it kasi gusto ko rin makabawi next season if ever makabalik ako sa San Beda."

Prior to the Final Four, Andrada led the Red Lions with averages of 12.39 points, 5.78 rebounds, and 1.61 assists per game.

While Andrada is unsure about his plans yet, San Beda head coach Yuri Escueta said he supports whatever decision his team captain will make.

"He is one of the guys that graduated [from school] already. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, it's a pleasure for me to have coached him — a player of his IQ, skill, and talent. Whatever his decision is, susuportahan namin siya," Escueta said.

"'Pag nagpa-draft siya, sabi ko nga, hopefully we meet again soon."

Escueta is serving as an assistant coach of TNT in the pros while consultant Norman Black also works with the Meralco Bolts.
