2025-26 PBA COMMISSIONER'S CUP | ROOKIE RANKINGS | START TO APR 24

So here are the Rookie Rankings from the start of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup up until the end of the April 24 playdate.

At the top, Juan Gomez de Liano has reclaimed the number one spot after missing a couple of games due to injury. Meanwhile, Jason Brickman has climbed to second, thanks to his impressive run—playing like a 2026 version of Jimmy Alapag with the way he’s been orchestrating the offense.

Dalph Panopio is still very much in the mix, even after sitting out his team’s last two games. There are also a couple of “unfair” entries in the Top 10. Deo Cuajao’s appearances for Rain or Shine have been sporadic, while CJ Austria has only played two games so far for Blackwater. Still, there’s a good chance things will normalize as the race to the playoffs continues.

The usual names are still present—Terrafirma’s Geo Chiu and JM Bravo, along with NLEX's Ljay Gonzales and Titan Ultra’s Bryan Sajonia—but it’s worth noting that their numbers have started to dip due to inconsistent performances.

Anyway, here’s the list.

Game starts now!
