The Pandesal front office is proud to announce the signing of a new face to the roster — Per Mathiasson, an 18-year-old forward from Finland who stands at an imposing 6'8" (203 cm).
Despite his young age, Per brings a mature, hard-nosed style of play that’s rare for a teenager. Known for his relentless energy, he arrives with a no-nonsense attitude and a strong physical presence in the paint. With a background in European-style basketball, he offers high basketball IQ, dependable defense, and the ability to dominate the boards.
Head Coach Statement:
"Per’s work ethic and physicality are exactly what we need. He’s not here for flash — he’s here to get things done. Expect him to make his presence felt right away."
As Pandesal looks to climb the ranks this season, Mathiasson’s addition adds both size and versatility to a squad that’s hungry for wins. Fans can expect powerful rebounding, physical screens, and plenty of hustle from the Finnish forward.
Welcome to Pandesal, Per. The future starts now.
