Hanes 3-Point Shootout to determine outstanding shooters

EIGHT of the best shooters in the amateur ranks wage war on Sunday as they dispute who has the best touch from deep at the Hanes 3-Point Shootout.

Terrence Fortea and Reinhard Jumamoy lead the cast as they vie for the crown which will serve as the appetizer to the championship game of the PlayTime Cares Filoil EcoOil 18th Preseason Cup presented by ABC Tile Adhesive between defending champs University of the Philippines and National University.

Aside from the two, also in the mix are Adamson’s Matty Erolon, University of Santo Tomas’ Kyle Paranada, La Salle’s Mason Amos, University of the East’s John Abate, Benilde’s Ernest Daja, and Emilio Aguinaldo College’s Nico Quinal.

Daja had the best three-point percentage in the league, shooting 66-percent of his rainbow shots as he made 16 of his 24 attempts from deep, while Erolon (52-percent) isn’t that far behind.

The other contestants are the best shooters in their respective teams throughout the premier preseason league which has PlayTime Cares, Filoil, EcoOil, Hanes, Bostik El Heneral, Jiang Nan Hotpot, Lamtex Pipes, Smart, and Puso Pilipinas as major sponsors, Spalding as official game ball, and Harbor Star, Wallem, Akari, BDO, Tela.com Athletics, Nature’s Spring, Reyes Barbecue, and Brothers Burger as minor sponsors.

The winner of the competition will take home the P10,000 cash prize and a gift pack from Hanes.
