The 2024-25 PBA Commissioner’s Cup has been full of surprises, and the latest power rankings paint an intriguing picture of the league’s current landscape. Despite June Mar Fajardo delivering import-like numbers—averaging an incredible 19.8 points, 17.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game—the San Miguel Beermen are stuck in the middle of the standings. It’s a stark reminder that even the league’s most dominant big man can’t carry a team alone.
Meanwhile, the NorthPort Batang Pier is making waves at the top with an impressive 6-1 record. Their success can be attributed to a balanced roster, with five players in the power rankings, led by Arvin Tolentino’s dazzling 24.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. NorthPort’s collective effort highlights the power of depth in the Commissioner’s Cup.
Then there’s Converge, a team proving that youth and leadership can be a winning formula. Anchored by veterans like Alec Stockton and bolstered by standout rookies Jordan Heading and Justine Baltazar, they show that rebuilding doesn’t mean settling for mediocrity. With Stockton’s all-around play and Heading’s steady hand at the helm, Converge is shaping up to be a dark horse contender.
Let’s break down the numbers and see how these rankings shape the season's narrative.
