PBA D-League

Enciso applied for the 2014 NBA draft but was not drafted by any team. He decided to move to the Philippines and applied for the 2014 PBA D-League draft, where he was drafted in the third round by the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems.[4]

Professional career

Enciso was drafted in the second round by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters with the 17th overall pick in the 2015 PBA draft.[5] He was then traded to NLEX Road Warriors in exchange for a 2018 second round pick.[6]

In his PBA debut for the Road Warriors, he registered 15 points (from five three-pointers), three assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes.[7]

Personal life

Born in San Francisco, California to Filipino parents, Enciso has dreamed of playing professional basketball in any country but had to fulfill his mother and father's wish for him to get a degree before pursuing a career in the sport. He graduated a degree in Kinesiology. He goes by the handle of @FilipinoDRose on Twitter (however, as of February 2016 he has changed his handle to @Simon0Enciso) and says he has patterned his game after NBA stars Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving.[8]
