Jeron Alvin Uy Teng (born March 21, 1994) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
He usually starts at the swingman position in PBA, but he also plays as a power forward occasionally during the Philippine Cup.
He holds multiple high school records for the Xavier Golden Stallions, according to a well-known prodigy.
He spent time in the UAAP with the De La Salle Green Archers, a legend in the UAAP, who enjoyed his fame in high school.
He has won a few UAAP championships as the team captain and has the rare distinction of receiving two UAAP finals MVP awards simultaneously.
Early life and education
He was born in Mandaluyong, 1994, to Alvin and Susan Teng. Jeron is the youngest of four siblings in the following order: Alyssa, Jeric, and Almira. Alvin Teng, his father, a former basketball player who has won multiple titles as a member of the San Miguel Beermen, has earned numerous titles in the Philippine Basketball Association. Jeric, Jeric's older brother, was a former basketball player for the UST Growling Tigers. Jeric will later win a PBA championship as the two guard for the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. On the other hand, his sister Almira pursued a non-athletic career in show business as a professional model and artist.
Teng had always been very religious and frequented the Pink Sisters Convent to pray and celebrate Mass. Since his older brother Jeric encouraged him to join the Xavier basketball team as a youth, Jeron took an increasing interest in basketball. Teng eventually captured his first of many titles in the Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association (MMTLBA), one of the country's best elementary and high school basketball leagues. The Teng brothers were regularly tutored by power forward Alvin, who advised that they instead develop skills related to the guard position. The move would later be considered critical in the formation of the two upcoming PBA players.
Jeron played high school basketball for Xavier School like his older brother Jeric. In his three seasons with the Golden Stallions, he helped the team win two MMTV championships and earned the season MVP award. Teng defeated Grace Christian College 164–74 in the Tiong Lian tournament in 2011, setting a new Philippine record for points in a single game. He shot 37 field goals, as well as having 24 rebounds and six steals. No player had ever scored at least 100 points since Felix Duhig of the Cebu Institute of Technology scored at the top of the game in 1990, the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc., at that time.
College career
Teng will turn up for the De La Salle Green Archers in the UAAP, where he will immediately become the Archers' head photo. He aided the Archers in their quest to return to the Final Four. Teng beat his older brother Jeric's team in the second round of the UST Growling Tigers by a score of 53–51 as the Archers retaliated their first round loss to the Tigers. After losing out on the previous season, Teng will lead the Archers back to the Final Four after losing a close game against the FEU Tamaraws. However, the Archers' magical run would be cut short by Teng's demise to one of their most important sports rivals and potential champions, the much more seasoned Ateneo Blue Eagles. Teng will be named UAAP Rookie of the Year later this year, the same feat his older brother Jeric had achieved in 2009. In addition to that, he will be named to the Mythical Five simultaneously, a rare feat in collegiate basketball. Teng's rookie season saw him score 15.8 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, and 2.8 assists per game, with 42% of his shots on target.
The Green Archers underwent a coaching change before the initiation of the new UAAP season by replacing Gee Abanilla, who went on to become the new head coach of the Petron Blaze Boosters, in his second season. Teng's legendary collegiate career would require the change later this year. After the first round of eliminations, the Archers started the season with a 3–4 record, but they would sweep the second round of eliminations, this time against their rivals in the Blue Eagles. The Archers tied for third place with the NU Bulldogs and the FEU Tamaraws in the elimination round, with a 10–4 record. However, the Bulldogs secured the top seed because they had the highest quotient among the three teams. In the Final Four, the Archers and Tamaraws fought for the second seed and the twice-to-beat advantage, which the Archers won 74-69. For the first time since 2008, the Archers would defeat the Tamaraws in the UAAP Finals for the first time since 2008. Teng played with impunity by emphasizing Terrence Romeo, the Tamaraws' then-reigning MVP, at a point. Jeron and his older brother Jeric sparred with one of their most feared rivals, the UST Growling Tigers. The Tigers won Game 1 of the UAAP Finals, but Teng led the Archers to the title by sweeping the next two games of the series to defeat the Tigers and give the Archers their first UAAP title since 2007. Teng will be named Finals MVP later this year. Teng finished his sophomore season with a score of 15.3 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, and 3.1 assists per game, with a shooting 41% from the field.
Teng and the Green Archers expected to win the title for another good season, but they fell short of their FEU Tamaraws after going the distance in the final four. Despite the fact that the Green Archers had exactly the same record as the previous season, with ten victories and four losses. In the finals, the Tamaraws will face the National University Bulldogs. The Archers were denied a back to back championships after losing in semifinals to FEU. Teng's average was 18.1 ppg, as well as 7.1 rpg, 4 apg, and shooting 75% from the free throw line at that time. On August 17, 2014, the Blue Eagles had a spectacular 32 point outburst under 40 minutes of play. Teng will be honoured with another Mythical Five selection during the finals between the Tamaraws and the NU Bulldogs.
Teng was able to flourish thanks to Coach Sauler's use of a 14-man rotation system that gave Teng more chances to dominate and take over games for the Green Archers. This was a follow-up to the one used in the previous championship season, in which the team humbly defeated even less players on the roster.
For the first time since 2011, the Green Archers and Teng will miss the final four for the first time during his time with the Green Archers, despite receiving another Mythical Five award yet again. Teng tied former FEU Tamaraw Santos with three Mythical Five picks, which enabled the group to bind three legends.
Coach Aldin Ayo took over the coaching staff in his final season with the Green Archers following Juno Sauler's departure, who resigned after UAAP Season 78. Aldin Ayo will be the master strategist after winning the NCAA Basketball Championship as head coach of the Letran Knights, bringing an end to the San Beda Red Lions' historic five-peat. Coach Ayo will now have a season much different from his Cinderella days in the NCAA. The King Archer led La Salle to a spectacular 12–0 run before losing to the Ateneo Blue Eagles in their penultimate game. Teng will win one last Mythical Five award in his last year and help the team advance to the elimination round with a 13–1 record, allowing the Green Archers the first seed. After leading the team to sweep the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the finals, Teng was named finals MVP once more. This was a crucial 28 points game to clinch the series and his career, making this squad one of the most memorable rosters in collegiate basketball history. His athletic accomplishments, from his multiple tournament MVPs and championships to his tenacity and complete accolades, make him the best collegiate basketball player of the 2010s decade.
Semi-professional career
Teng starred in the Aspirant's Cup, his first conference of the 2017 season after being selected first in the PBA D-League draft and exploded with 42 points, seven rebounds,, and six assists in his debut against Batangas.
Teng joined the FilOil Flying V Thunder and quickly promoted the team to the top seed, which included a rare triple double against his old team, AMA Online Education, following a fruitful first conference. Coach Eric Altamirano, who will begin with Teng as an assistant coach for the Alaska Aces weeks before the team was drafted, likened Teng to then Lakers star Lonzo Ball. "Tonight, he proved that he can also be a Lonzo Ball," the elated Coach Altamirano, who has won trophies in both the UAAP and PBA told.
Teng will do it again, scoring 20 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists after becoming only the fourth player in D-league history to record a triple double. "That's something he'll always have (triple-double) when he enters the PBA. "I think he's really working on it," Altamirano said, referring to the other aspects of his game.
Teng will finish with two stellar conferences and meet the bare minimum for applicants to the 2017 PBA draft.
Professional career
Teng was drafted fifth overall by the Alaska Aces on October 29, 2017 at a height of 6'1 3/4 inches.
Teng scored 23 points and pulled down nine boards against the Kia Picanto in his first few games. After coming off a four-game losing streak in the previous year, the Aces' record was remarkably improved. He made his first Finals appearance in the Governor's Cup, when the Aces lost to the Magnolia Hotshots. He spent the year as a member of the All-Rookie Team.
Teng had a career-high 15 rebounds in a victory over the NLEX Road Warriors in the 2019 Commissioner's Cup. He had a hamstring injury, which forced him to miss two weeks. He played in the Governors' Cup against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists in the victory. He sustained a knee injury in the second game, which was later discovered to be a hyperextended knee, causing him to miss two weeks.
Teng has signed a three-year contract with the Aces following the 2020 season.
Alaska defeated Terrafirma Dyip in the Governors' Cup on February 19, 2022, with 30 points (14 in the fourth quarter) for his career-high 30 points.
