Dave Ildefonso has yet to play in the Korean Basketball League but he’s already gaining some attention.
Dave Ildefonso is now a certified oppa, nay, Sonicboom in the Korean Basketball League.
KT Suwon Sonicboom officially introduced its new Asian Quota player for the rest of the 2022-23 season in Ildefonso in an Instagram post on Sunday.
This fan thinks the addition of the UAAP champion with Ateneo is definitely a big boost for the team that currently holds the 7th spot with a 13-15 record.
Twitter user @heoball, whose account is dedicated to delivering news from the KBL, is already a believer.
Ildefonso flew to South Korea on January 2. He was supposed to make his debut for the team two days ago against Rhenz Abando’s Anyang squad but reports said there were still some issues with documents.
As of this writing, KT Suwon is going up against Ulsan which features Filipino spitfire guard RJ Abarrientos. But Ildefonso is not in the lineup yet.
Looks like Air Kimchi will make his debut against Jeonju KCC on Tuesday at Suwon KIT Arena.
Filipino fans are excited to see the son of PBA legend Danny suit up and don Suwon’s colors. But it seems that Koreans are just as thrilled.
