This is the first of what I hope will be a regular
series of posts about the best performers for every week in the PBA. Unlike the
NBA, our local pro circuit doesn’t really have any citations for Player of the
Week and other similar accolades, so this is something that I hope will satiate
fans who want their hardcourt heroes duly recognized.
This past week, of course, saw a lot of very
impressive performances, but three players, in particular, really stood out.
Each of these guys led his respective team to a 2-0 record this past week,
which definitely helped pad his case to be counted among the Best of the Week.
There will be three citations in this series of
posts: Import of the Week, Rookie of the Week, and Player of the Week.
Without further ado, here is the inaugural set of
players for Hoop Nut’s PBA Best of the Week:
