With the opening of the 37th season of the PBA this October 2, all eyes are set to those players who will compete for the coveted award this 2011 and became on of the elite list of MVPs in the PBA history.
#5 Jason Castro (Talk N Text)
2010 Conference Ave: 11.87 PPG, 3.85 RPG, 4.11 APG
Some says that “The Blur” is the “other MVP” aside Jimmy Alapag. He is a two-time PBA Finals MVP in 2010, and possibly a grand slam winner of the Finals MVP if TNT beat the Petron Blazers in the Governor’s cup. He is a type of a player that “plays with heart and courage” every game.
#4 James Yap (BMEG)
2010 Conference Ave: 18.75 PPG, 4.30 RPG, 1.77 APG
“King James”, a two-time MVP, is seeking revenge for his team after the not so good performance of his team during the 36th season. The team is plagued with injuries, he still carried his team to the top of the standings but he cannot sustain it alone. With the entry of Tim Cone, expect James Yap to elevate his game and become the catalyst of the triangle offense.
#3 Solomon Mercado (Meralco)
2010 Conference Ave: 17.69 PPG, 4.97 RPG, 4.83 APG
“The Soul Train”’s campaign last season didn’t lived up to expectations, as their team is always at the bottom half of the standings. Expect Sol Mercado to lead the charge for the Meralco Bolts this season.
#2 Joe Devance (BMEG)
2010 Conference Ave: 16.48 PPG, 8.43 RPG, 3.55 APG
JDV’s transfer from Alaska to BMEG Llamados last season is one of the breaking news in the PBA. But, teaming up again with Tim Cone and his familiarity with the triangle system, JDV will again rule the every statistical category to win the MVP this season.
#1 Arwind Santos (Petron)
2010 Conference Ave: 15.29 PPG, 10.68 RPG, 1.25 BPG
The 2010 Governor’s Cup Best Player of the Conference, Finals MVP and Champion, “Spiderman” will be a force to reckon this season. After being “robbed” with the MVP last season (Thanks to the media votes), expect Arwind to dominate every conference this coming season.
