POWER RANKINGS | 3 CONVERGE PLAYERS AND GINEBRA'S STARTING FIVE

FROM THE PBA WEBSITE

June Mar Fajardo remains a beacon of dominance, holding onto the top spot with his jaw-dropping rebounding and steady all-around contributions for San Miguel.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the Beermen's uninspired 2024-25 PBA Commissioner's Cup campaign.

Arvin Tolentino and Robert Bolick maintain their grip on the number 2 and 3 positions, proving that versatility and consistency are key in today’s game.

Converge leads the team standings, thanks in no small part to the contributions of their key players in the Power Rankings. Alec Stockton (#5) has emerged as an all-around dynamo, combining scoring, rebounding, and playmaking to stabilize the FiberXers. Rookie floor general Jordan Heading (#9) continues to provide consistency on both ends of the court. In contrast, their other rookie, and reigning MPBL MVP Justine Baltazar (#16) has quietly become a force on the boards, anchoring their interior presence.

On the other hand, Ginebra’s remarkable depth is evident with five players making the rankings. Scottie Thompson (#8) remains the ultimate playmaker and defensive disruptor, seamlessly keeping the Gin Kings competitive in crunch time. New hire Troy Rosario (#15) has provided a steady presence inside, complementing Japeth Aguilar (#17), who remains one of the league’s top rim protectors despite his veteran status. Stephen Holt (#23) and RJ Abarrientos (#19) add scoring and energy, ensuring that Ginebra stays afloat even as Justin Brownlee faces the inevitable wear and tear of carrying the team for years.

And while Brownlee has struggled against imports who are bigger than him, at least Ginebra is doing better than sister teams San Miguel and Magnolia.
