# Alfonzo Gotladera

Alfonzo Feliciano Gotladera (born February 16, 1992) is a Filipino professional basketball player who last played for the Valenzuela Classic of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL). He was selected by the NLEX Road Warriors in the 2016 PBA draft.

## High school career

In high school, Gotladera played for the San Beda Red Cubs. Together with Baser Amer and Chris Javier, they won back to back NCAA Jrs titles.
Gotladera was recruited by both Ateneo and DLSU. Eventually, he chose to play for the DLSU Green Archers.

## College career
### DLSU Green Archers

However, Gotladera had limited minutes in his time there as he shared a frontcourt alongside Norbert Torres, Yutien Andrada, Arnold Van Opstal, and other veterans. In two seasons with DLSU, he scored a total of only two points.

### Ateneo Blue Eagles

Gotladera decided to transfer from DLSU. With La Salle choosing to release him, he only had to serve one year of residency. During his residency, he spent time with Ateneo's Team B.
In one of the first games of Season 77, a match against his former team, Gotladera put up career-highs of 17 points and eight rebounds to help claim the win for Ateneo. That season, Ateneo secured the first seed and a twice-to-beat advantage. However, they lost twice in the first round to the NU Bulldogs. In his final year with Ateneo, he averaged around four points and six rebounds a game.

## Professional career
### NLEX Road Warriors

In 2016, Gotladera and other Gilas Pilipinas players were placed in a special draft. He was selected by the NLEX Road Warriors in the 2016 PBA draft.
As a member of Gilas, Gotladera got to play as an All-Star during the 2017 All-Star Week. There were times during his time at NLEX that he was relegated to a reserve role. At the start of 2019, he was released by the team.

### San Miguel Beermen
