PBA Power Ranking: Top 5 Rookie of the Year candidates!



The 2024 PBA draft can go down as one of the best in this decade. Specially if Baltazar reach his potential. Abarrientos was even anointed again as the future of the PBA.

So, let me give you my top 5 candidate for the Rookie of the Year award.

#5. Felix Lemetti
He has an amazing Governors Cup. Unfortunately, he is playing in the loaded guard rotation of Rain or Shine and he is still learning the ropes of the league,

#4. Justin Baltazar
Baltazar has a lot of catching up to do. It did not help that his first several games are not that good. Nevertheless, Converge is obviously ready to give him maximum opportunity.

#3.Jerom Lastimosa
Jerom has a crazy start to his PBA career. Even though he is not that big of a guard and his defense is not his selling point, playing time is there for him and he is showing up.

#2. RJ Abarrientos
Abarrientos is slowly stacking up amazing games and his numbers is getting better. If Ginebra managed to grab a chip this season, his candidacy will be very good.

#1. Sedrick Barefield
He is still clearly the rookie with the highest impact in the league. His dribbling and shooting is an amazing thing to watch.
