PBA Media Bureau.</figcaption></figure></div> MANILA, Philippines -- After a poor start to his career as a San Miguel player, journeyman Simon Enciso finally notched his breakout game last Saturday against Blackwater.In a 107-88 win against one of his former teams, Enciso scored 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting, on top of two rebounds and two assists in over 27 minutes of action.It was his best game in a San Miguel uniform, having scored just a combined eight points in his previous three games.&quot;That&#x27;s what we&#x27;re waiting for,&quot; San Miguel coach Leo Austria said of Enciso&#x27;s performance.According to Austria, Enciso&#x27;s talent and skills -- particularly in terms of his shooting -- are evident during their practices. However, it took a while before the 30-year-old guard was able to translate it to an actual game.Enciso was one of six players in double-digits for San Miguel against Blackwater, as they improved to 2-2 in the PBA Governors&#x27; Cup.&quot;This game, I&#x27;m happy for him,&quot; said Austria of their guard. &quot;He was able to break that slump niya.&quot;With San Miguel still playing without All-Star guard Chris Ross, Austria is hoping that Enciso can put together a streak of consistently good games. Ross is not expected to return until after Christmas.&quot;He (Enciso) is one of the key players na we&#x27;re hoping and relying na mag-step up, especially with the absence of some point guard on our team,&quot; Austria said. &quot;With Simon, maybe nape-pressure siya na you&#x27;re not only a shooter here, you&#x27;re a point guard because of the absence of Chris Ross.&quot;&quot;He&#x27;s trying his best to do the job of a point guard,&quot; he added. &quot;We know na he could score so maybe a lot of people are looking for him to score.&quot;Enciso was acquired by San Miguel from TerraFirma ahead of the Governors&#x27; Cup in exchange for Alex Cabagnot. Enciso played for the Bossing in the Philippine Cup before being traded to the Dyip for Rashawn McCarthy; he did not play a game for TerraFirma as the SMB trade occurred before the conference opened.The 17th pick in the 2015 PBA Draft, Enciso has played for five teams in his career.

After a poor start to his career as a San Miguel player, journeyman Simon Enciso finally notched his breakout game last Saturday against Blackwater.
