[edit | edit source]

Camson was drafted 16th overall in the 2013 PBA draft by the Air21 Express.[1] In his rookie year, he had eight points and ten rebounds in a loss to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.[3] He then made the lineup for the Rookie vs Sophomores game in his sophomore year.[4] He didn't get much playing time in his first three years in the league but that changed with the arrival of coach Yeng Guiao and a MCL injury to big man Enrico Villanueva.[5][6] He scored 14 points in a loss to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.[7]

Mahindra Floodbuster/Terrafirma franchise

[edit | edit source]

During the 2017 Commissioner's Cup, Camson was traded to the Mahindra Floodbuster along with Glenn Khobuntin and a 2020 second-round pick in exchange for Alex Mallari and Kenneth Ighalo.[8] In his first game for Mahindra, he had nine points, three rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes in a win over the Blackwater Elite.[9] During the 2017 Governors' Cup, he was fined P5,000 for committing a flagrant foul in their games versus the TNT Katropa.[10]

In the 2017–18 Philippine Cup, Camson had a career-high 24 points in a loss to his former team.[11] He got into an elbow match against Raymond Almazan of Rain or Shine, and was ejected from the game.[12] He was then fined P30K and suspended for one game.[13]

The Dyip fell short of making the playoffs thrice the following season. Camson was re-signed at the end of their season.[14]

In the 2021 Philippine Cup, Camson had 15 points (including the game-sealing score) and 13 rebounds to help Terrafirma score an upset win over Ginebra.[15][16]

On August 5, 2024, Camson was released by Terrafirma.[17]
