The shooting guard immediately made a statement, scoring a career-high 45 points in their first game, a 100-95 win over Alaska. He made 10 of his 17 three-point attempts in that game, while also grabbing eight rebounds.
So far, he is averaging 24.2 points -- the third-best mark in the league -- along with 6.6 points, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He has been highly efficient as well, shooting 47.4% from the field including 43.1% from beyond the arc, and 90.0% at the free throw line. "Ako, 'yung iniisip ko lang talaga noong quarantine, nalagay sa isip ko is gusto kong seryosohin talaga ang basketball," said Pogoy. "Kasi, naisip ko din 'yun, minsan lang palang ganito. Minsan lang maging player. 'Di mo alam 'yung kinabukasan eh, biglang mag-pandemic."
"Palaging sinasabi nila Kuya Jayson, 'yung mga beterano dito na, parang sabi nila na, 'Team niyo na 'to, kailangan kayong mag-step up na talaga, kasi kayo na ang susunod dito'," Pogoy recalled.For Pogoy, his much improved play is geared towards just one thing -- his long-held desire to finally win a title in the PBA. He has won at every level of basketball -- from high school to college -- but a championship in the professional ranks remains elusive.
