Professional career
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel
Jamito was the 3rd pick of the regular round in the 2016 PBA draft.[1]
In 2017, Jamito was part of the Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Week.[3] The crowd expected him to jump over 6-foot-9 Japeth Aguilar.[3] Instead, he side-stepped him and did a basic one-hand dunk, drawing laughs from the crowd.[3] The stunt became viral, and was featured on the television show "The Starters."[4] He also won a Governors' Cup title that year.
Meralco Bolts
In 2018, Ginebra made him an unrestricted free agent, allowing the Bolts to pick him up.[2] He had his best game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and one block in a loss to the Phoenix Fuel Masters.[5]
In 2021, he was given a contract extension.[6] He was not given another extension after that season and did not return for the 2022–23 PBA season.[7]
San Juan Knights
Jamito then played for the San Juan Knights in the MPBL.[8] He debuted with 14 points and seven rebounds in a win over the Valenzuela XUR Homes Realty Inc.
