Quentin Millora-Brown is happy to mull over various options once he fully celebrates his championship with the UP Fighting Maroons, wrapping up his first and only year in the UAAP.

Becoming a late-game hero for UP with his clutch free throws to help clinch the series, the 6-foot-10 big man opened the possibilities to wherever he goes next right after finishing his short collegiate career in the Philippines.

Pivotal in UP’s run to the title, Millora-Brown has also been the subject of conversations in the national team, since he could play for Gilas Pilipinas as a local. Though falling short of actually confirming his commitment, he reiterated that it would be a good chance for him to grow his skills.

“You know, it’ll be an amazing opportunity if it comes up [Gilas]. But I’m just taking it one day at a time before I figure out where I’m gonna play next,” said Millora-Brown. 

“Doing all that, I’m just excited for any opportunity that comes my way,” he added.

As for his professional career, he said he is also open to playing anywhere — even here in the Philippines in the PBA. Though other opportunities may present themselves like the Japan B.LEAGUE or the KBL, Millora-Brown adds that he is keen on looking at all his options equally.

“Yes, I’m open to anywhere,” he said.

Along with graduating guard JD Cagulangan, Millora-Brown is the only other UP player headed out of the program after their breakthrough title.

Though Cagulangan has also been mum so far about future his plans, two-time MVP Kevin Quiambao on the La Salle side has already announced his move just hours after being dethroned as champions.

Quiambao, who still has two years left of eligibility for La Salle, is headed to Korea to play for the Goyang Sono Skygunners.
