#2 Jayson Castro

TNT will not reached the Finals without the leading of the Blur 2.0.  His 15.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 43.0% FG and 30% 3FG numbers are a little bit below his standard. But, his 6.9 assists was the 2nd best at the end of elimination.

The real reason why he was my #2 was his performance in the playoffs. In game 3 against Meralco, he dashed 31 points in 8/16 shooting with 3 rebounds and 3 steals. He erupted again in their series-clinching game 4 against Ginebra. He went 38 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 5/8 shooting from beyond the arc.

Great players  show up on big games.


#1 Chris Ross

Who is the best local player of San Miguel Beermen? Of course, June Mar Fajardo. But, if the question is, who is the  best local player of SMB this conference? The answer is Chris Ross!

Playing with an even better team because of the inclusion of imports, Ross fried opponents with 12.0 points, 52.7% FG, 40.0% 3FG, 4.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.5 steals in the elimination round. That 7.5 assists and 2.5 steals are league-best!

Overall, his 21.7 net rating is the 3rd best in the league! Yes, better than the imports! Net Rating is the net of the Offensive Rating and Defensive Rating of a player!

And in the playoffs? He was even more spectacular! He is literally filling up the stat-sheet with his 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 3.9 steals per game! That statline is insane! His 9.7 is 3.6 dimes better than the #2. While his 3.9 steals will still beat the combined steals of the #2 and #3 which is 3.8!

With this conference, a big question arise. Did Chris Ross solidify himself as a top 10 player in the league?
