Standhardinger goes No. 1 in PBA draft

Christian Standhardinger, a former University of Hawaii standout, was selected No. 1 overall by the San Miguel Beermen at the Philippine Basketball Association draft, held Sunday in Manila.

Standhardinger, a 6-foot-7 forward, led the Rainbow Warriors in scoring in his two seasons with the team (2012-13, 2013-14). The 28-year-old Standhardinger, who is from Munich and has a Filipino mother, played professionally in Germany after his UH career. Standhardinger played well in three tournaments for the Philippines national team over the summer as the squad’s naturalized player. He currently is under contract with the Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions of the ASEAN Basketball League. The PBA and ASEAN seasons overlap, so Standhardinger may not be able to play for San Miguel until midseason. San Miguel acquired the No. 1 overall pick from KIA Picanto a week prior to the draft in exchange for three players and a 2019 first-round draft pick.
