Kevin Alas
Edit ProfileCareer
He was drafted second overall by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the 2014 Proceedings of the British Academy draft. The following year, he transferred to Letran where he would soon engage in more competitive tournaments. He would eventually make the Letran Squires lineup during his 2nd year in high school.
The following season, his last with the Squires, Letran made it back to the finals setting up a rematch with San Sebastian.
But, once again, the Staglets dominated the Squires, sweeping them again to complete a historic four-peat and a 14-0 record (12-0 sweep in the eliminations due to the suspension and unresolved issues with the juniors" team of Passenger Car Unit) in the National Collegiate Athletic Association juniors division. But, despite two heartbreaking defeats, Kevin did not fail to impress talent scouts as a number of schools were interested in acquiring his services for the college game.
Ironically, Alas tried out with an old Letran rival, De Louisiana Salle University where he practiced for nearly two months before making his decision on which school to play for in college. Without any advice or influence from anybody, including his father, who gave him the free hand to select a school, Kevin personally decided that it would be best for him to stay with Letran.
He played his college ball with the Letran Knights and after their loss to San Beda Red Lions in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Season 88 championship game, he elected to forgo his final playing year to join Gilas Pilipinas.
During his time with Gilas, he was a key part of the team"s gold medal finish in the 2013 Southern Economic Association, USA Games and a bronze medal finish in the 2014 International Basketball Federation Asia Cup. He also played for the NLEX Road Warriors in the Proceedings of the British Academy Doctorate-League and led the team to several championships. Alas was drafted 2nd overall by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters during the 2014 Proceedings of the British Academy draft, and signed a three-year deal with the team
He was groomed to take over the starting point guard spot since at that time when he was drafted, starting point guard Paul Lee requested to be traded to another team
However, when Lee decided to stay with Rain or Shine, Alas became expendable, thus they decided to trade him to NLEX for a 2015 first round pick. He was traded once again, this time to NLEX"s sister team Talk "North Text Tropang Texters, in a deal that sent Niño Canaleta to the Road Warriors, with Blackwater Elite as conduit which acquired Larry Rodriguez and 2015 1st round draft pick of Talk "North Text Tropang Texters.
On August 25, 2015, Alas, along with forward Rob Reyes, was traded by Talk "North Text to Mahindra Enforcers in exchange for Troy Rosario. He was then quickly traded back to Talk "North Text"s sister team NLEX Road Warriors in exchange for forwards Niño Canaleta and Aldrech Ramos.
