Charles, who played for Saigon Heat in the 2014-15 season and recently resigned with the team for this season, is in fourth place in the ABL's all-time scoring list with a total 1,726 points.

The seven-foot-one American won the 2014 ABL title with Hi-Tech Bangkok City, was voted Import Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2013 and 2014, and won three Defensive Player of the Year Awards in 2013, 2016 and 2018.

He scored a career-high 38 points in a match when playing for Saigon Heat in 2014.

Avenido bagged the Local MVP award and the title with San Miguel Beermen in 2012. He was the first and thus far only recipient of the ABL Lifetime Achievement Award.
