Professional career[]

PBA D-League[]

On October 30, 2014 after getting undrafted in the 2013 NBA D-League Draft and a hardluck campaign to make it to the NBA D-League, Rosales knew that the next step for him is not to try in other international leagues just like his peers but to go back home. Rosales make his PBA D-League debut as the part of Jumbo Plastic Linoleum Giants, he helped the Giants to win their game against Bread Story−LPU Smashing Bakers with a score of 79-74. Rosales also played for Tanduay Light Rhum Masters for four games in the 2015 PBA D-League Foundation Cup but his team felt short at the quarterfinals.[3]

ABL / PBA[]

In 2015 Rosales was recruited by the Singapore Slingers of the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) where he led the Slingers to a runner-up finish.[4] Rosales was drafted 7th overall by the Barako Bull Energy also known now as Phoenix Fuel Masters during the 2015 PBA draft the Fuel Masters were unable to sign him due to the team's heavy guards rotation. Rosales signed a 2+1⁄2-year deal with the TNT Katropa.
