My YEOreca and the TEAM!

Joseph Yeo played for the De La Salle Green Archers in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines {UAAP}. He took some of the scoring lead from the most illustrious Mark Cardona during the 2004 UAAP season. He joined the Harbour Centre Portmasters in Philippines Basketball League and led his team to its first Philippine Basketball League (PBL) crown alongside LA Tenorio, an ex-Ateneo star by winning the 2006 Unity Cup Finals against the Toyota Otis.

In 2006 PBA Draft, Yeo was drafted 3rd overall by the Coca Cola Tigers, just behind Kelly Williams and Arwin Santos. He played limited minutes as a reliever to the Coca Cola Tiger’s main man John Arigo. Joseph still manage to average 10 points per game, 4.6 rebounds per game and 1.2 assists per game in 26 minutes per contest in the elimination round of the 2006-2007 PBA Talk N Text Philippine Cup, despite the limited playing time. Notwithstanding, this did not stop the critics from calling Yeo a bust and attribute this to his lacking in size to play the No. 2 spot.
