PBA Import Power Ranking 2.0: San Miguel's NBA veteran import should be #1?



Two powerhouse teams decided to replace imports and bring back high-quality ones. Where should we put Aaron Fuller and Orlando Johnson? 

#10 Henry Walker (#8 last ranking)
Henry is not meeting my expectations of him. It seems like Rain or Shine is not planning to replace him either and that could mean that they are destined to be in the middle in this tournament.

#9 Olu Ashaolu (#6 last ranking)
Olu is a hardworking import but he has a major weakness in his three-point shooting. In his five games with Alaska, he only connected on 5 long bombs.

#8 Antonio Hester (#4 last ranking)
Even though Antonio is putting up pretty good numbers of 27.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 57% FG per game. We cannot keep Antonio in the top 5 because of how bad Terrafirma is playing.

#7 Paul Harris (#3 last ranking)
Paul is the guy that is playing over my expectations. Nonetheless, Phoenix is just on the middle of the pack and he just suffered an injury.

#6 Aaron Fuller
This should be the perfect spot for Fuller who is superb paint scorer but may not bring outside shooting for TNT.

#5 Tony Bishop (#7 last ranking)
Tony is another surprise for me. Although, we are only talking about two games. He is averaging 32.0 points, 15 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. If he can keep that up, Meralco may have a good chance of winning the championship.

#4 Orlando Johnson
He has this NBA pedigree that will surely make a lot of San Miguel fans, salivate for what he can provide. Will he meet the hype? We will see.

#3 Mike Harris (#5 last ranking)
Magnolia is surprisingly one of the top offenses in this tournament. And there is a good argument that Harris is the reason for that.

#2 Justin Brownlee (#2 last ranking)
As long as Ginebra is doing well, expect Brownlee to remain as a top 3 import. He is currently producing 27.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 54% FG per game.

#1 KJ McDaniels (#1 last ranking)
KJ is still the most talented player, playing in the PBA right now. I think, nobody can stop him, including the imports.
