Who is Jervy Cruz?

Jervy A. Cruz is a Filipino professional basketball player currently playing for the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the Philippine Basketball Association.

A former Most Valuable Player in the UAAP, Cruz was one of the reasons why the UST Growling Tigers pulled off an upset over heavily favored Ateneo Blue Eagles in the 2006 UAAP finals.

Tabbed fifth overall in the rookie draft, Rain or Shine got a legitimate inside threat and eased the burden on Jay-R Reyes in that aspect. The six-foot-five forward could be undersized in his position but Cruz has the skills to become effective. The ex-RP 5 mainstay has a decent outside shot.

Cruz was the 3rd youngest player in the 2009-10 PBA season at only 23 years of age. He played 45 games and he averaged 6.4 points per game, 0.16 blocks per game, and 4.40 rebounds per game.
