2 rookies, 3 vets in PBL PC race

Five players, including two prized rookies, are hotly contesting the first-ever Best Player of the Conference award in the ongoing PBL PG Flex Linoleum Cup.

Already the favorites for the “Fantastic Freshman” plum, Paul Lee of Bacchus Energy Drink and Chris Ross of Pharex have also gained ground in the race for the highest individual award by producing numbers not expected from first-timers in a high-level tournament.

Aside from Lee and Ross, Hapee Toothpaste slotman Jervy Cruz, Rico Maierhofer of Harbour Centre and Neil Rañeses of Magnolia Purewater are also very much in the hunt for the BPC honors.
