Isaac Jackson Holstein V[1] (born September 7, 1987) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player currently playing for San Miguel Beermen in the Philippine Basketball Association. He was drafted with the 7th overall pick by the GlobalPort Batang Pier in the 2013 PBA draft.[2] Two days after the draft, he was traded to San Mig in exchange for fellow rookie Justin Chua and veteran Leo Najorda.[3]
His entry into the PBA signals the complete reversal of his basketball fortunes. A former NCAA Division II player, he quit basketball and decided to embark on a different path in life. Instead, he saw his hoops career resurrected after moving to Manila to play in the PBA D-League, first with Big Chill before moving to Blackwater.[4]
After spending his rookie season with the grand slam champion Purefoods Star Hotshots, he was traded along with Ronnie Matias midway through the 2015 All Filipino Conference for Barako Bull Energy veteran center Mick Pennisi.
