Player Profile

Call him Mr. spitfire or spark plug.

This 5-foot-9 former UP Fighting Maroons steady playmaker has been considered the league’s newest generation of point guards after the era of Johnny Abarrientos, Hector Calma, Dindo Pumaren, Ronnie Magsanoc and Gerry Esplana, among others.

Proving everybody that height doesn’t matter, Cruz quickly appears to be Air21’s surprising package after converting four steals to fast break points in his first two games against Magnolia and Alaska.

He served to be Granny Goose and Toyota Otis floor leader during his PBL days.

Loves to run the floor, penetrates the land of the giants, and a certified effective backcourt general during his UAAP days in UP.
