Career highlights and awards

Bradwyn M. Guinto (born October 20, 1991) is a Filipino-Australian professional basketball player for the Blackwater Bossing of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Early life[edit]

Guinto was born in Bataan but raised in Melbourne, Australia.[1] His first sport was tennis as he had the chance to watch the Australian Open and grew up idolizing former champion Michael Chang. Aside from tennis, he also tried rugby and cricket.[2] He then made the switch to basketball. He also played in youth leagues in Australia.[3]

College career[edit]

Guinto played for the San Sebastian Stags in the NCAA. Expectations in his first year were that his team would be rebuilding, especially after San Sebastian lost its stars Calvin Abueva, Ian Sangalang, and Ronald Pascual.[4] He got his first college career win in Season 89 against the Arellano Chiefs with a double-double of 10 points and 14 rebounds.[5] He then had 15 points in a win against the EAC Generals.[6] Due to typhoid however, he missed some games.[7] He contributed to San Sebastian making the Final Four as the third seed. He was a contender for Rookie of the Year, but lost to Perpetual Altas' Juneric Baloria.[8]

In Season 90, Guinto contributed 14 points and 12 rebounds in a win over the JRU Heavy Bombers that gave his team an early solo lead in the standings.[9] He had 18 points and nine rebounds in a close loss to Perpetual.[10] He bounced back with 13 points and 14 rebounds in a win against the St. Benilde Blazers.[11] The team, however, lost so much games that they fell to second to the last place in the standings.[12] They finished in eighth place.[13] He averaged 14.17 points, 11.11 rebounds, and a block in 30.83 minutes of play in 18 games.[14] He was also named to the Mythical Five and the All-Defensive Team.[15]

The following season, the Stags lost key players and had a new head coach in Rodney Santos (Topex Robinson had been the previous coach).[13] This put more pressure on Guinto to lead the team. After losing their first game of Season 91, he had 17 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks as the Stags rallied to beat the Bombers.[14] In a loss to the Letran Knights, he was limited to just four points.[16] He bounced back with 26 points and 18 rebounds, but the Stags still lost against the Chiefs. He was also a NCAA All-Star that year.[17] Against the league-leading San Beda Red Lions, he had 26 points and the win.[18] He also had 25 points and 11 rebounds in a win over JRU. However, they were not able to make the Final Four.[18] He also lost Defensive Player of the Year to Allwell Oraeme, but made the All-Defensive team.[19]

On January 20, 2021, he was traded to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters for Sidney Onwubere and Clint Doliguez.[34]
