Ross sees himself in SMB teammate Standhardinger

Chris Ross sees a lot of himself in his new San Miguel Beer teammate Christian Standhardinger.

Ross, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, said that like him, Standhardinger also brings toughness to the Beermen.

“He reminds me of me, as a big this time,” Ross said of the rugged Fil-German.

“Right now, I bring that hard-nosed mentality to the team, and bringing someone like him really helps us big time. Him being at 6-9 who is agile and versatile, it’s a great niche he found for himself.”

Ross watched San Miguel’s top pick on Sunday when he made his Philippine debut for the Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions in the ABL and he had nothing but praise.
