Big man Lavin Raj admitted he was frustrated after being benched in Singapore’s first three games in the 2017 Seaba Championship.
“At first, I was disappointed that I didn’t play,” said Raj.
But the 16-year-old centre finally got the break he was looking for on Tuesday, taking advantage of the extended garbage minutes in Singapore’s 85-32 victory over Myanmar.
Raj tallied 19 points, six rebounds, and three blocks in 21 minutes on the floor as the Singaporeans nabbed their first win in four games.
“It feels good,” he said. “I’ve been training hard for this, and now after playing, I feel more confident.”
Playing with experienced teammates, the 6-foot-7 Raj shared he’s trying to perform at his best even during practices as he goes toe-to-toe with his older teammates.
Fortunately for him, he showed his coach Frank Arsego some flashes of his potential in the rout.
“I’ve been trying to adapt. The older guys are much quicker, much stronger, and jump higher, but I’m just training and training and training,” he said.
After his impressive showing, Raj hopes Arsego give him more opportunities in their remaining games against Thailand and Vietnam.
“I’m hoping to play the same way I did today,” he said.

THAILAND – Police have launched a manhunt for an angry temple employee after he allegedly killed a dog by throwing it from the second floor of a temple building.
Phra Wiroj of Wat Ruangvej Srimongkol in Nonthaburi’s Pakkret, authorised Wilai Wimolsing to file a complaint with Pakkret police against the staffer, identified only as Somsak, 62.
Wilai, who lives near the temple, filed the complaint at about 10pm on Monday. She said Somsak threw the two-year-old dog, Mom, from a pavilion and killed it.
Wilai said the man then discarded the dog’s carcass on deserted land behind the temple and fled.
Wilai said she had fed the dog since it was a puppy and had formed an attachment to it.
The monk told reporters that he was praying Monday evening when he heard loud noise at the pavilion and came out to learn the dog had died.
The monk said Somsak admitted that he killed the dog out of anger over it continually being on the pavilion.
The monk said he had cared for the dog since it was a puppy after it was saved following being hit by a car.
Police sent the carcass to the Kasetsart University’s Veterinary Hospital to determine the cause of the death.
