    The 6-foot-10 Fajardo currently shows the way with a total of 42.6 statistical points, fueled by his 18.7-point, 14.2-rebound, 3.1-assist, and 1.3-block stats line in 26 games played during the all-Filipino conference.

    Perez, meanwhile, occupies the no. 2 slot with 37.9 sps built behind averages of 18.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, while churning out 2.5 steals per game to lead the league in the department.

    So far, Fajardo had Perez’s numbers as the six-time MVP beat out the two-time scoring champion for the Best Player of the Conference and Finals MVP awards, respectively.
