Here is a post game interview with Ian Motta and one of his teammates. He does not seem to have a PR accent. I wonder how long he has lived in TX.

He has lived in Texas for most of his life, but may well have relatives in Puerto Rico. I have done numerous business trips to PR, and one thing I can tell you is that many Puerto Ricans speak English with absolutely no accent. The students in the better schools start intensive English by first grade. And many of the upper class go to prep school and/or college in the US.

By the way, Santurce - his original hometown - is one of the districts of San Juan. It is just east of Old San Juan and includes Condado, which is the area along the Atlantic Ocean with many of the high-rise condos and hotels. It also includes a significantly poorer area south of there.
