Carlo Dan Lastimosa (born September 3, 1990) is a Filipino professional basketball player currently playing for Barako Bull Energy of the Philippine Basketball Association. He was drafted 20th overall by the Barako Bull in the 2013 PBA Draft.[2]
Early life
Lastimosa comes from a family of basketball players. He's the son of former Cebu team Mama's Love PABL player Danny Lastimosa, brother of the current captain of the UST womens volleyball team, Pamela Lastimosa, and nephew of PBA Legend and three-time Mythical Team awardee, Jojo Lastimosa.[3] It was only natural then that the younger Lastimosa started playing basketball at the young age of five in their family's residence in the city of Cagayan de Oro. Watching his uncle Jolas play in professional basketball may have been a very big influence for Carlo to opt to make a career out of the sport later on and develop an ambition of following his uncle's footsteps by making it good in the PBA someday.
When he was young, he joined a MILO Best Training Center courtesy of his father. He then joined the varsity team of Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan during his high school years, where he quickly became a subject of interest in the local basketball scene. He eventually participated in the Jesuits Athletic Meet, a basketball event between different Philippine Jesuit schools, back in 2007.[3]
College career
It was Jose Rizal University who first saw his talent. He was then playing at Sitio Malasa at the time. He chose Hotel and Restaurant Management because he did not passed his first choice at DLSU. He then headed to DLS-College of St. Benilde. There he found his touches and eventually became the 2nd scorer in his poor and talentless team.
Professional career
Barako Bull Energy (2013-present)
He was drafted 20th overall by Barako Bull in the 2013 PBA Draft. In his pro debut and with the help of Uncle, during the final moments of Barako Bull’s 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup game against Air21, he was hit right in the face by Wynne Arboleda shortly after stripping the ball off the veteran Express guard.[4]
During Barako Bull's debut game in the 2014 PBA Commissioner's Cup against Ginebra, he, along with fellow rookie Jeric Fortuna, were given extended minutes down the stretch,[5] as part of Coach Bong Ramos' strategy to fast track their growth in the pro league.[6]
