PBA GOVS CUP POWER RANKINGS | START TO JULY 24

If you check out my Import Rankings, you'll see just how bad Jalen Hudson's numbers have been. At first glance, it feels like the Converge FiberXers have the worst luck when it comes to choosing imports, almost as if they've ended up with another Kylor Kelley.

But here's the thing: take a look at Justin Arana's numbers.

Wow.

The last time I saw a local player put up scoring numbers this high was when Nelson Asaytono did it for San Miguel during the Ron Jacobs era. Even then, The Bull did this in the Philippine Cup, with a starting core comprised of Olsen Racela, Mike Mustre, Freddie Abuda, and Gido Babilonia (I think). Justin Arana is averaging nearly 30 points per game in an import-laden conference, while eight other local players are averaging at least eight points.

If he can sustain this pace, the former Arellano Chief could be looking at a record being broken.

It also reinforces my dislike for the idea of allowing three imports to play in the same conference. I will make a bigger take soon. That said, let's leave that to the Japanese league while the Philippines continues to strengthen its grassroots program.

Anyway, here are the rest of the players.
