Joel Diomar "JD" Cagulangan (born January 24, 2000) is a Filipino basketball player for the UP Fighting Maroons of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
Early life
[edit]Cagulangan first played for Northern Mindanao in the 2013 Palarong Pambansa during elementary days before being recruited by La Salle Greenhills.[1][2] This NCAA team won the juniors' crown in 2017 behind the heroics of the eventual Finals Most Valuable Player Cagulangan.[3]
College and amateur career
[edit]Cagulangan debuted for the De La Salle Green Archers in Season 82, but left after the season due to limited playing time and transferred to the University of the Philippines.[4] Prior to completing his move to UP, he enrolled at St. Clare College during the pandemic, which allowed him to play 4 years for UP without doing residency for a year.[5][6]
He helped the UP Fighting Maroons claim the UAAP Season 84 men's basketball championship, their first UAAP title since 1986, with a game-winning three-pointer in the Game 3 of their best-of-three championship series against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, breaking the 69-all deadlock with less than 3 seconds left in overtime.[7][8]
