MANILA, Philippines – Kobe Paras posted a highlight clip on Facebook of one of his latest performances, this one where he drops 43 points to lead Middlebrooks Academy to a victory in the PEC 6 tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Paras, 6-foot-6 and 18-years-old, is part of the class of 2016 and will play NCAA (US) Division 1 college basketball for the UCLA Bruins under head coach Steve Alford.
Here’s a clip of Paras’ athletic performance:

The clip shows that Paras, a former La Salle Greenhills standout, is still very explosive and continues to dunk on rim defenders.
It looks like the son of former PBA great Benjie Paras has also improved some on his ball-handling while maintaining his shooting stroke, though both areas could still use some improvement - which they will likely find at UCLA. – Rappler.com
