Kevin Quiambao to work out with 5 NBA squads, says Tim Cone

MANILA, Philippines, July 11 ------ Kevin Quiambao is not yet giving up on his NBA dreams. The De La Salle University product, who is now suiting up for the Goyang Sono Skygunners in the Korean Basketball League, will be working out with five NBA teams in hopes of acquiring a Summer League spot, according to Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone.

Cone said he has been in touch with "KQ," constantly communicating with the Gilas forward as the national team also gears up for the upcoming FIBA Asia Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, this August. “I’ve been in communication with KQ. He’s got a workout with five NBA teams on the 11th,” said Cone during the unveiling of new Gilas' kits designed by sportswear brand adidas on Thursday in Makati. “On the 11th, he’s working out in front of five NBA front offices and so that will kind of dictate his schedule after that,” he added.

Quiambao recently flew to Sacramento in the United States in hopes of achieving his NBA dreams. However, he wasn't able to join the Sacramento Kings’ Summer League roster, where Filipino coach Jimmy Alapag works at. The Gilas tactician acknowledged that if a team piques an interest on Quiambao, the Gilas gunner will stay in the US "a little bit longer." “If he’s able to draw some interest, he might end up being in the Summer League a little bit longer,” said Cone.

The NBA Summer League runs from July 10 to 20 (US time) in Las Vegas.
