Yancy de Ocampo

From Hoopedia

A product of St. Francis of Assisi College, Yancy de Ocampo was as tall as they come at 6-foot-9. He is also the brother of Ranidel de Ocampo who is also a PBA player playing for Air21 Express.

He started out as a back-up to Don Allado in Welcoat, and when Allado moved up to the PBA, Yancy immediately took on the starting center role. The role fitted Yancy to a T.

With no real threat from the opposition, Yancy led Welcoat to two straight championships, picking up an MVP award in 2001.

Last year, Yancy achieved the crowning glory of his career in the amateurs after he was picked no. 1 in the PBA Draft.

A former Philippine national team member.
