Accel-PBA Press Corps player of the week

MANILA, Philippines - Si JVee Casio ng Alaska ang nahirang na Accel PBA Player of the Week ng PBA Press Corps para sa linggong Oct. 29-Nov. 4.

Nagtala ng 25 puntos si Casio, 12 sa fourth quarter kabilang na ang game-winning basket sa naging 94-92 na panalo ng Aces kontra sa dating wala pang talo at two-time defending champion Talk ‘N Text noong Biyernes.

Si Casio ang pangalawang sunod na player ng Aces na nahirang na Player of the Week kasunod ni rookie Calvin Abueva na napanalunan ang naturang parangal noong nakaraang linggo.

“Jayvee is in a good flow right now,” pahayag ni Alaska coach Luigi Trillo. “People talk about his scoring,  but he is helping out in so many ways. His defense is very underrated. He also has been passing the ball well.”

Idinadag pa ni Trillo na marami pang puwedeng i-improve si Casio na naging top pick overall ng Powerade sa 2011 Rookie Draft at nakuha ng Alaska mula sa komplikadong multi-player, three-team trade bago nagsimula ang kasalukuyang season. “As good as he is playing there is still room for improvement for Jayvee,” sabi pa ni Trillo. “The real test will be this week, when we face the two hottest teams, Rain or Shine and San Mig Coffee.”
