Career highlights and awards

College career

edit

In 2012, he was the Perpetual Help Altas starting small forward. Despite standing just 6 feet 3 inches, Arboleda emerged as the team’s top rebounder. Arboleda averaged 5.9 rebounds, along with 6.2 points and 2.1 assists in 21.8 minutes per game. He was a solid rebounder and capable three-point shooter who makes hardly makes bad decisions, and has carried much of the scoring load during his later seasons with the departure of star guard Jet Vidal.[2]

Professional career

edit

In 2014, Arboleda applied for the 2014 PBA draft, in which he was drafted 20th overall by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters. He was considered as the "steal of the draft" by many analysts, saying Arboleda as one of the best players of the Altas basketball program.[3] On September 22, 2014, Arboleda was traded to NLEX along with 2nd round picks for the 2016 and 2018 drafts for the rights of Matt Ganuelas-Rosser.[4] He also suited up for the Tabogon Voyagers in the Visayas leg of the 2021 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup.[5]

In February 2024, Arboleda is one of the 47 players banned by the MPBL for alleged involvement in game fixing.[6]
