Justine Baltazar earns PBA Player of the Week

Justine Baltazar, a rookie pick by Converge, is proving to be a valuable asset in the PBA's Philippine Cup.

After gaining experience in the Commissioner's Cup, Baltazar has become a dominant force under the basket, contributing significantly to Converge's recent success with his height and length advantage.

In their 107-97 victory over Rain or Shine, Baltazar recorded his best game of the season with 22 rebounds and 13 points, earning him the PBA Press Corps-Pilipinas Live Player of the Week award for April 30 to May 5.

Baltazar's performance highlights his partnership with Justin Arana in Converge’s 'Twin Tower' combo, which has been crucial for the team’s defensive efforts and rebounding.

The young player's contributions extend beyond scoring; he also had three assists, three blocks, and one steal during the game against Rain or Shine.
