Early life and high school career
Stockton was born in Los Angeles but grew up in splitting time in the Philippines with his grandmother and older brother, and in New York City with his mother, Mariles, and his sister, Marie. He also lived in Paris with his father and younger brother.[1]
In his senior season, Stockton led all New York public school players in assists with slightly over 10 per game. He was offered scholarships by Philippine universities San Beda and FEU.[1] He committed to FEU, choosing them for their history developing guards.[2] It was his sister that convinced their mother to let him play in the Philippines.[1]
College career
With the FEU Tamaraws, Stockton developed from a playmaker into a defender. In his rookie season, Season 80, they made it to the Final Four, where they won Game 1 and nearly pulled off an upset win over the Ateneo Blue Eagles in Game 2.[1] In his sophomore season, they faced Ateneo again in the playoffs. During their matchup, he almost landed a punch on Thirdy Ravena, which led to his ejection from the game.[3][4]
For Season 82, Stockton averaged five points, two assists and 1.7 rebounds in 16 minutes as they reached the first round of the Final Four. He then skipped his final two years of eligibility to apply for the PBA draft.[5][6]
Professional career
Alaska Aces (2021–2022)
Stockton was selected 21st overall by the Alaska Aces in the 2020 PBA draft.[7] In his rookie season, he didn't make the Aces' lineup for the 2021 Philippine Cup, as they had multiple guards and teams were also limited to only five Fil-foreigners on each roster.[8][9] He was able to play in the Governors' Cup.[10]
Converge FiberXers (2022–present)
Stockton was one of the holdovers from the sale of the Aces to Converge ICT as he signed a two-year deal, making him part of the new Converge FiberXers.[11] During the 2022–23 Commissioner's Cup, he broke out with 15 points with eight rebounds off the bench in a win over the Blackwater Bossing.[12] During the 2023 Governors' Cup, he had 18 points in a win over the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots.[13] He then had 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in a win over the San Miguel Beermen.[14] That conference, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Beermen.[15] Also during that season, he was named as an injury-replacement for Isaac Go for the Rookies-Sophomores-Juniors game during All-Star Weekend.[16]
During the offseason, Stockton was fined ₱50,000 for participating in a "ligang labas" game without permission.[17] For the 2023–24 season, he was voted into the Rookies-Sophomores-Juniors game for that season's All-Star Weekend.[18] On March 16, 2024, Stockton signed a maximum three-year deal with the team.[19] However, from the 2023–24 Commissioner's Cup to the 2024 Philippine Cup, the team lost 12 straight games.[20] This included a loss to the Beermen in which he had 31 points alongside Justin Arana's 32 points, becoming the first two locals in franchise history to score 30+ points in the same game.[21] The following game, they broke their losing streak against the Meralco Bolts, in which he scored 20 points.[20] He then had a career-high 32 points in a loss to Barangay Ginebra.[22]
Stockton began the 2024–25 season leading all locals in scoring in their season opener against the Terrafirma Dyip with 21 points (13 of which he scored in the third quarter).[23] After going on a three-game losing streak, he scored 21 points to lead Converge to a win over the NorthPort Batang Pier.[24] Against Meralco, he scored 12 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, including seven of the team's last nine points, for Converge to win its third straight.[25] Converge finished on a four-game winning streak to get into the playoffs.[26] In their quarterfinals series against the Beermen, they started the series down 0–2.[27] During Game 3, he was given a flagrant foul two for elbowing Kris Rosales in the face. This would have led to his ejection, but the referees reviewed the call and downgraded it to a flagrant foul one, allowing him to keep playing. He then went on to score 20 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds in 32 minutes and hit the game-winning buzzer-beater to extend the series.[28] In Game 4, he contributed 16 points, five rebounds, and eight assists to force a do-or-die match.[29] However, despite leading with 22 points and eight assists, the Beermen were able to win the series.[30] For the 2024 Governors' Cup, he averaged 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.[2]
During the 2025–26 season, Stockton was selected to his first All-Star appearance.[31] In the All-Star Game, he led the South team with 29 points.[32]
Personal life
Stockton is married with two sons.[1]
