Andrew John Yadao Seigle (born May 15, 1972) is a Filipino-American retired professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association.[1] He was also a member of the Philippine national basketball team.[2] He is the brother of Danny Seigle, also a basketball player in the same league.[3] Their mother, Blesylda Yadao, is of Chinese Filipino descent while his father is a White American.[4]
Career[edit]
He was considered one of the most dominant and best defensive players early in his PBA Career. He spent most of his time in his last season on the sidelines rather than on the court as he played only 30 games and just 8.9 minutes of playing time per outing, due to ACL injuries in both knees. As a result, the 6-9 center posted a career-low averages of 2.6 points and 2.2 rebounds.[citation needed]
Seigle only got a one-year extension from the Ginebra management and with the arrival of Rafi Reavis and Billy Mamaril, his minutes suffered. He retired in 2007 after winning his last championship in the PBA.[5]
