ROOKIE Greg Slaughter of defending champion Ateneo de Manila University bagged this week’s University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Accel-316 Press Corps best player award.
Slaughter averaged 16 points, 8.5 rebounds and two blocks in their last two games as the Blue Eagles took the solo leadership with an immaculate 4-0 slate.
“We’re the only team in the league with a seven-footer, so we really want to take advantage of that. The advantage we have is we could just drop the ball into the post to Greg,” said Ateneo coach Norman Black.
Slaughter fired a team-high 15 points and seven rebounds when Ateneo clobbered National University, 86-62.
He followed it up with another sterling performance of 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Blue Eagles to a 73-61 victory over University of the East.
Slaughter edged other candidates for the weekly honor also presented by Gatorade, including Janus Lozada and Alex Nuyles of Adamson University, Chris Exciminiano of Far Eastern University, and Luigi de la Paz of De La Salle University.
