Surigao just brings EFFORT and a competitive edge to the floor every time he plays the game. Surigao won’t overwhelm you with athleticism and a crazy stat line. Surigao brings a positive energy and is a great team player on and off the floor. Surigao can connect on shots from the perimeter and isn’t afraid to get on the floor for a loose ball.
