Santos bags PBA Player of the Week award

THERE WAS SIMPLY no stopping Petron’s versatile forward Arwind Santos this week as he led the Blaze Boosters to consecutive victories, enough reason for the Pampanga-native to bag the Player of the Week award for the period of Feb. 27 to March 4 in the ongoing PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

Santos averaged 23 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in the Boosters’ wins over Air21 (102-88) and Rain or Shine (110-103). The performance was a huge bounceback for Santos as he went into last week with pedestrian averages of 6.7 points and 10.3 rebounds.

For Santos, it was all a matter of adjusting to their new import Nick Fazekas.

“Iba kasi kapag may import,” said Santos. “Siyempre kailangang medyo baguhin mo laro mo. At saka di rin nagpapabaya iyung mga kalaban kaya kailangang medyo mag-adjust ka rin ng konti sa depensang ibinibigay sa iyo.” /Correspondent Jonas Panerio with PBA Media Bureau
