ROOKIE LADDER AS OF DECEMBER 21, 2013



We’re pretty much knee-deep into the new PBA season, and we all should have good ideas of who the really good teams are, and who the really bad ones are. This also means we should have a clearer picture of which rookies are more than “flashes in the pan” or “one hit wonders.” The top rookies, the cream of the crop if you will, are those who have consistently given significant contributions to their teams. In this edition of our Rookie Ladder, we will look at where this season’s freshies now stand.

As always, this list is principally based on the Efficiency Ratings (EFF). Once again, this measures production and NOT potential.

Anyway, here they are – the top ten rookies in the 2014 PBA season as of December 21, 2013:



10. Jeric Teng (ROS) – 3.7ppg, 1.6rpg, 30.8 3pt%, 13.76 EFF

Teng slows down a little bit after he laid a big fat egg against the Tropang Texters a few days ago. He played just 8 minutes and missed his lone field goal attempt. Save for one rebound, he had nothing to show for.

9. Ryan Buenafe (ALA) – 2.8ppg, 1.5rpg, 60.0 3pt%, 57.1 FG%, 15.17 EFF

Buenafe played just 7 minutes for the Aces as they battled the Batang Pier last week, but the former Blue Eagle made the most of his limited time by hitting a three point shot. He has been playing sparingly in his first four pro games, but at least he has been reasonably productive given his time on the floor.

8. Raymond Almazan (ROS) – 3.5ppg, 5.3rpg, 83.3 FT%, 16.72 EFF

The former Letran big man slips a little bit after playing just 7 minutes in the Painters’ loss to the Texters last December 17. After averaging around 17 minutes in his first four games, Almazan has played a total of 17 in his last two matches. Perhaps coach Yeng has relegated him to the end of the bench for some more seasoning?

7. Carlo Lastimosa (BAR) – 6.3ppg, 1.8rpg, 1.3apg, 17.73 EFF

Jojo Lastimosa’s nephew has been the biggest rookie surprise of the month. He exploded for 15 points in the Energy’s loss to the Express earlier in the month, and that certainly turned some heads. That might not happen again, of course, but, hey, at least the former CSB Blazer already has his 15 seconds of fame.

6. Eric Camson (AIR) – 5.0ppg, 4.9rpg, 18.21 EFF

Maybe the most underrated rookie of this batch, Camson has put together a couple of really impressive games in his climb up the ladder. Unlike most of the guys on this list, this former Soaring Falcon has actually played in every single one of his team’s games, and he’s been a significant presence more often than not. Case in point: in his last two contests, Camson averaged around 9 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field. His average EFF rating for those 2 games? How about 28.50. Look out, fellas!

5. RR Garcia (GLO) – 10.5ppg, 1.9rpg, 1.9apg, 35.9 3pt%, 1.8 triples per game, 80.0 FT%, 22.53 EFF

Surprise, surprise! RR Garcia has been maybe the best back-up playmaker in the league this past month! Since December 6, the former UAAP MVP has been putting up 11.5 points, and, prior to his 0-of-7 three-point shooting performance last time out, he actually shot 47% from long range. Clearly, all Garcia needs is more time on the floor, and he’s sure to shine.

4. Justin Chua (GLO) – 7.5ppg, 4.2rpg, 47.2 FG%, 23.20 EFF

Talk about solid. Chua plays fewer than 20 minutes per game and still manages to put nearly 8 points and 4 boards, while shooting close to 50% from the floor. In contrast, someone like, say, Joe Devance is playing more than double the minutes, but is producing at a lower efficiency rate. Like Garcia, all Chua needs is more burn, and he should be a borderline star.

3. Terrence Romeo (GLO) – 14.8ppg, 3.8rpg, 2.5apg, 1.4 triples per game, 27.35 EFF

Romeo impressed with 22 points against the Aces last week, but he followed it up with a barf-worthy 1-of-10 effort against the Mixers Saturday. Talk about going from red hot to ice cold fast. Is Romeo destined to be the PBA equivalent of a boom-bust cycle? We still have a lot of time to wait and see.

2. Ian Sangalang (SMC) – 11.8ppg, 6.8rpg, 48.0 FG%, 28.54 EFF

The lanky former Golden Stag leapfrogs past Romeo in our ladder and cements himself as an extremely potent back-up for Tim Cone’s aging frontline. Watching Sangalang operate down low, what with his plethora of moves, is reminiscent of watching David “The Admiral” Robinson dominate for San Antonio in the 90s. If you’re not yet convinced this kid is destined for stardom, then you’re nothing if not blind.

1. Greg Slaughter (GIN) – 14.6ppg, 11.0rpg, 2.0bpg, 53.4 FG%, 37.77 EFF

There are only three guys currently averaging double-doubles in the league, and, lo and behold, this season’s top draft pick is one of them. Some people doubted Greg’s skill-set – maybe he was too slow, too gangly, too soft. Well, where are the naysayers now? The ROY is still not a lock, sure, but are we still doubting the talent of this Fil-American? Come on.

Petron star Fajardo rejoins practice but still waiting for clearance from doctors



THE mood in Petron's practice on Thursday morning suddenly became livelier after injured big man June Mar Fajardo showed up to join his teammates in shooting drills.

The 6-11 Cebuano pride has been on sick bay since sustaining a sprained MCL on his right knee two days before Petron's Christmas Day showdown with sister team Ginebra which the Boosters lost, 83-97.

There had been fears that the 6-10 sophomore may not be ready to return to action until the playoffs - the reason his presence in practice lifted the spirit of the whole team even if he was limited to shooting drills.

“Nag-shooting na siya kanina. Kaso hanggang dun pa lang 'yun sa ngayon,” Petron coach Gee Abanilla told Spin.ph.

Although the knee is no longer swollen, Abanilla bared that the team is taking all the necessary precautions since the Cebu hero is still experiencing some pain.

“Hindi pa namin siya pinapayagang sumali sa practice ng team, kasi mahirap pwersahin ang tuhod niya. Mahirap na area 'yun,” the former De La Salle coach told said.

“Wala na yung maga (ng tuhod niya). Medyo normal na ring maglakad hindi tulad nung dati na dina-drag niya 'yung paa niya (pero) may kaunting pain pa rin siya eh.”

Abanilla bared that Fajardo will undergo a series of tests under top orthopedic surgeon Raul Canlas and Petron’s physical therapist Edward Bacason to assess his readiness to return to action.

“Binabantayan siya sa training nung PT namin. Tapos tuloy-tuloy naman 'yung rehab niya. Yun ang maganda kay June Mar. Diligent siya, saka desididong gumaling agad,” Abanilla said.

“May mga tests na gagawin sa kanya si Dr. Canlas. Tapos 'pag pumasa siya run - kung wala nang masakit o hindi na namaga - pwede na siyang mag ensayo,” said Abanilla. “Hinihintay lang namin si Doc Canlas.”

The immediate target for Fajardo’s return is on January 8 against Barako Bull, but Abanilla insisted that they will not force his top player to suit up unless he gets the green light from Canlas, who is out of town.

“Hindi namin sya papayagang maglaro or at the simplest form mag-ensayo kung hindi pa siya fully healed," the Petron coach said. "Mahirap, career niya yan.”

Danny I. joins Meralco

Raise the roof! Danny Ildefonso signs with Meralco, to join Bolts against Air 21 | InterAksyon.com | Sports5

Free agent center Danny Ildefonso has signed with the Meralco Bolts until the end of the PLDT MyDSL Philippine Cup.

Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio confirmed the news to InterAksyon.com in a text message.

“We signed Danny Ildefonso until the end of the conference. His presence will give us more ceiling and maturity,” wrote Gregorio.

The two-time Most Valuable Player spent the first 15 years of his career with the San Miguel Beer/Petron Blaze franchise before being left unsigned prior to the season.

He was instrumental in the development on emerging center June Mar Fajardo, a rookie with the Boosters last season.

Ildefonso is expected to suit up for the Bolts against the Air 21 Express on Saturday.

At Meralco, he reunites with his former coach Jong Uichico, who serves as consultant for the Bolts.
