Jhonard Clarito of Rain or Shine has been named the PBA Press Corps-Pilipinas Live Player of the Week for June 18-22, for his crucial role in leading his team to the Philippine Cup semifinals.
Clarito posted impressive averages of 16.5 points and 18.5 rebounds per game during the Elasto Painters' victories.
He achieved a remarkable 20-point, 21-rebound performance in the first game against NLEX, a rare feat for a player of his stature in PBA history.
His consistent effort, including 13 points and 16 rebounds in the second game, helped Rain or Shine overcome NLEX's twice-to-beat advantage.
