Nocum earns Player of the Week award, draws comparisons to PBA legends

Adrian Nocum showcased his potential as a future PBA superstar during the Commissioner's Cup quarterfinals, helping Rain or Shine defeat Converge.

Nocum earned the PBA Press Corps-Pilipinas Live Player of the Week award for February 5-9 with averages of 22.3 points and strong defensive stats.

In Game 2, Nocum scored 28 points to force a decider, followed by a 25-point effort in Game 3 that secured Rain or Shine's victory over Converge.

His exciting moves have drawn comparisons to former players like Vergel Menese and Cyrus Baguio, while Coach Yeng Guiao sees limitless potential if Nocum develops his outside shooting skills.

Rain or Shine will face TNT in a best-of-seven series starting February 26, with Coach Guiao praising Nocum's defense and athleticism.
