When Kim Aurin’s name was called during the loaded and stacked PBA Season 48 Rookie Draft, the former Perpetual standout was just ecstatic that he was selected by no less than Barangay Ginebra.After all, he can get the chance to play with Altas icon and decorated Gin Kings guard Scottie Thompson. However, that dream didn’t materialize as Aurin was left unsigned by Ginebra.”Siyempre gusto ko siyang maging kakampi pero hindi nangyari eh. Ako kasi naniniwala ako sa plano ni Lord. Kung hindi para sa akin, hindi para sa akin at kung para sa akin, para sa akin so nu’ng hindi ako na-sign sa Ginebra, positive lang ako,” Aurin told GMA News Online on Wednesday. (Of course, I want to be his teammate but that did not happen. I believe in the Lord’s plan. If it’s not for me, it’s not for me and if it’s for me, then it is, so when Ginebra did not sign me, I just stayed positive.)Eventually, Perpetualites Aurin and Thompson would share the court, only this time as foes. After securing no contract from the Gin Kings, Aurin received a call from TNT head coach Jojo Lastimosa who offered him a six-month deal in Tropang Giga’s bid to strengthen their Commissioner’s Cup campaign. “After two weeks ng combine, tumawag si coach Jolas (Jojo Lastimosa) sa akin at kinamusta ako,” Aurin shared. “Una, tinanong niya ako kung may pamilya ako para inalok ako na mag-sign ako then kinabukasan pinapunta ako sa training. Tapos after two days, ayon na, pina-sign na ako.”(After two weeks, Coach Jolas asked me how I was. First he asked me if I have a family so he offered me to sign, then the day after, I went to training. After two days, he asked me to sign.)In one of his few games for TNT, Aurin was able to face Thompson during Christmas Day on December 25, where the rookie logged in six points, one rebound, and one assist in almost 17 minutes of action. “Nakakatuwa kasi parehong NCAA tapos parehong Perpetual pa kami and pinapanood ko talaga siya kung paano siya maglaro, ‘yung rebounding skills niya,” Aurin added. “So ayun, nakakatuwa na naabutan ko pa siya sa PBA.”(I’m glad because we’re both from the NCAA and from Perpetual. I watch him how he plays, his rebounding skills. I’m happy that I could still go against him in the pBA.Since then, Aurin had shown promise, delivering for TNT in the final stretch of their run and even getting back-to-back starting roles. However, TNT ended it campaign in the ongoing Commissioner’s Cup after falling to the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots in the quarterfinals, 109-94.—JKC, GMA Integrated News
