JAMES YAP

Height: 6-3
Weight: 205 lbs.
Position: Guard
Born: Escalante, Negros Occidental

Career PBA Highlights:

Yap entered the 2004 PBA Draft, and was selected as the second overall pick by the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs.
His teammate Artadi was also selected in a later round which foreshadowed a UE-tandem in the professional league.

Bothered by an ailing shoulder, Yap had a slow start in the 2004-2005 season. Later on, he started to blossom as he had numerous games of which he scored 20 or more points. However, he failed to lead Purefoods past the quarterfinal round against Shell Turbo Chargers. Eventually, he lost to counterpart Rich Alvarez in the Rookie of the Year race.
