PBA IMAGE FILE PHOTO MANILA, Philippines — Air21 landed sparingly-used guard Joseph Yeo, and sent bigman Mark Isip to Petron in a trade approved by the PBA Commissioner's office on Thursday.

Joseph Yeo
Professional career.
Yeo was drafted by the now-defunct Coca-Cola Tigers as third overall pick in 2006, just behind Kelly Williams and Arwind Santos. As a rookie, he played limited minutes as a reliever to Tiger's main-man John Arigo. Despite the limited playing time, he still managed to average 10 ppg, 4.6 rpg and 1.2 apg in 26 minutes per contest halfway into the elimination round of the 2006-07 PBA Philippine Cup. However, this did not stop critics from calling him a bust and attribute this to his lacking in size to play the two-spot. 
 In 2007, he was traded, along with a future draft pick, to Sta. Lucia for former FEU forwards Mark Isip and Cesar Catli.  As a Realtor, he effectively played
his off-the-bench role, winding up as the team's second-best scorer behind Kelly Williams with a 13.5-point average, and became a vital cog of the team that won the 2007–08 PBA Philippine Cup. 
 In 2010, he was dealt to San Miguel for Bonbon Custodio.  While playing for the Beermen, he spent most of his time on the bench and in the injured list, and did not play with the team that won the 2011 PBA Governors Cup Championship.
 During the midseason of 2013 PBA Governors Cup, he was shipped to Air21 Express in a one-on-one swap with Mark Isip.
