Here is the continuation of our Top 100 for year 2023!
We are finally in our top 25! They were scored according to these four areas. Just take note that the points are utilized as a tool to rank all the players according to that area and not an absolute reflection of their skill level. That means a player with 28 points in Scoring in 2022 who got 27 do not necessarily mean that his scoring regressed. It means that in terms of ranking all the players available in Scoring, he move down.
Scoring (S) - 30 Points
This category primarily assesses a player's scoring capability. We closely examine their points per game while also placing significant emphasis on their efficiency in scoring. Moreover, we consider the various ways a player can score on the court, valuing those who can score effectively through diverse methods.
Defense (D) - 30 Points
Defense is a crucial aspect, constituting half of a player's game. This aspect evaluates a player's capacity to defend one-on-one. It also encompasses a player's ability to operate within a team's defensive strategy. Additionally, we account for a player's rebounding skills and their contribution to controlling the tempo of the game.
Offense (O) - 25 Points
While scoring is the ultimate aim of offense, this category examines the other elements that contribute to creating favorable scoring opportunities. It involves a player's aptitude for breaking down defenses and creating plays for teammates. Furthermore, we consider a player's decision-making, reading of the game, and ability to create space for his teammates.
Intangibles (I) - 15 Points
This criterion encompasses four vital attributes that enhance a player's value: leadership, chemistry, clutch performance, and health. These aspects are distinct from the previous categories but significantly elevate a player's overall worth. For instance, the value of a player like LA Tenorio is elevated by his leadership skills, chemistry with the team, ability to perform under pressure, and optimal health status.
In the case of ties, they will be ranked according to age with the youngest being the highest. The previous performances of the players were also considered in assessing them.
Rank. Name of the Player. Scoring/Defense/Offense/Intangibles
#25. M. Lassiter 18.5/16/22/12
#24. C. Hodge 10.5/27.5/20/12
#23. J. Mocon 21/23/17/9
The longevity of the effectiveness of Lassiter is something that is worth our admiration. The guy is still one of the best 3-and-D wing in the league. Last season, he produced 11.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 42% 3FG and 45% FG per game.
The statline of Hodge will not wow anyone. He is averaging 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steal and 53% FG per game. But, if you watch him closely during games, the guy is doing a lot of things. His screening is elite. He hustles everywhere. He can defend the guards. Easily one of the best utility guy in the league.
Mocon is one of the most underrated players in the league. I understand that he has a below-average handle but the guy can defend a lot of positions and fill-up the stat-sheet every game. He manufactured 11.6 points, 42% FG, 34% 3FG, 6.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
#22. M. Wright 25/15.5/21/9
#21. P. Lee 25/13/21.5/11.
#20. A. Barroca 12.5/26/19/14
Perkins is not the biggest, the fastest and the strongest. But the guy is very skilled and smart in playing basketball. It is not only on offense but also on defense. He can protect the rim, switch to wings and even guards and of course defend forwards and bigs. Last season, he averaged 15.2 points, 45% FG, 33% 3FG, 5.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
Nobody ever imagined that Tiongson will end up as one of the best scorers in the PBA. In the last two season, Juami has been romping up the scoreboard even with a subpar supporting cast. He manufactured 18.1 points, 38% 3FG, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.
