FOUR games into the season, Fil-Australian big man Cade Flores is fast proving his worth for the Arellano Chiefs.
The 6-foot-4 bruiser is norming 11.75 points and 11.75 rebounds so far in NCAA Season 98 as he tries to fill the big shoes left behind by Justin Arana.
His best game yet came against two-time titlist Letran last Sunday when he tallied 18 points and nine rebounds as Arellano ended the Knights’ 14-game winning streak dating back to 2019.
Flores has been hailed as this year’s first Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week presented by the Philippine Sports Commission, besting CSB’s Migs Oczon, San Sebastian’s Rommel Calahat, and LPU’s Enoch Valdez for the weekly award supported by minor sponsors MNL Kingpin and Tinapayan Festival and handed out by scribes from print and online covering the beat.
Flores said their victory over Letran showed that Arellano should be reckoned with.
