PBA Analysis: Is TNT's RR Pogoy the best 3-and-D player in the PBA?

If I ask you who is currently the best player in TNT, I think the most popular answer will be Mikey Williams. And that is not shocking to me knowing what he did in his rookie season.

But, I will not be surprised too if Jayson Castro will be the second most popular answer. Castro is just so respected right now that he can get that distinction.

But in reality, RR Pogoy has been their best player this year. And there is a good argument that he is their best player overall in the past five years.

RR just delivered 40 points against the Blackwater Elite and that has increased his numbers to 22.6 points, 56% FG, 51% 3FG, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

At this point we are already familiar about how streaky of a shooter RR is. He even hit 10 three-pointers already in a single game.

His defense is also elite. I mean, there is a good argument that he is one of the top 5 wing defenders in the league. Only a few can match his tenacity on the defensive end!

 Currently, he has a better Defensive Rating than other elite 3-and-D wings like Marcio Lassiter, Don Trollano and even Scottie Thompson.

Add  those things and I think he is clearly the best 3-and-D player in the league.
