We all know who’s at #1,
right? Right, but the rest of the field is a little difficult to gauge, since
nobody has really stood out in a consistently big way. Still, there have been
some great neophytes so far this season, and they’re all worth mentioning.
Without further ado, here
they are – the top five rookies of the 2014-2015 PBA season as of November 23,
2014 (as always, this is based on the Player Efficiency ratings as calculated
by PBA-Online.net):

| Stanley Pringle is no surprise, but how about the others? |
5. Anthony Semerad (GLO) - 8.2ppg, 2.6rpg, 1.2apg, 1.0 triples per game,
41.7 3pt%, 85.7 FT%, 21.8 EFF
- In GlobalPort’s short
two-game winning streak (they beat Kia and Blackwater in succession before
dropping a close one to Rain or Shine), Semerad was pretty solid, averaging 14
points, shooting 56% from the field, and 40% from rainbow country. His season
stats are a little less stellar, but the 6’5 combo-forward still looks to be a
serious contributor for the Batang Pier. If he can keep this up, he has an
outside shot at maybe being the next J-Wash or RDO.
