Early life
Dela Rosa grew up in San Diego, California and his favorite sport was originally baseball, where he played as third-baseman and at times catcher. But after years of regularly watching his father play, basketball eventually became his sport of choice.
College and amateur career
Dela Rosa played collegiate basketball at San Beda College, where he was a vital cog to four straight NCAA titles for the Red Lions. While in the amateur ranks, he also suited up for the PC Gilmore Wizards and the NLEX Road Warriors in the PBA D-League.
Alaska Aces (2014–2016)
After he played out his college eligibility in 2013, Dela Rosa was drafted in the second round, 13th overall by the Alaska Aces in the 2014 PBA draft. He spent the first two conferences mostly on the bench, acting as a third-stringer to skipper Tony dela Cruz and Calvin Abueva. In the third conference, he was thrust into the starting lineup due to injuries to some players. He started in all 9 games in the Governors’ Cup while seeing a big increase in his minutes (17.7/game). He also doubled his rebounding average to 2.5 RPG and almost tripled his scoring to 4.5 PPG, from less than 1.4 PPG in the first two conferences. On July 5, 2015, in Alaska’s series-clinching 82-77 win over the Star Hotshots, he played the best game of his young career, as he scored 11 points on 4-for-5 shooting in 31:45 minutes of action.
Star Hotshots (2016–present)
On December 9, 2016, Dela Rosa traded by the Alaska Aces to the Star Hotshots in exchange for Jake Pascual.
