Arwind Santos was named PBA Finals MVP! Congratulations Arwind “Bagyo” Santos and the San Miguel Beermen for winning the 2015 PBA Philippine Cup Championship!
Arwind Santos averaged 18.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in the 2015 Philippine Cup Finals. Read recap at San Miguel Beer wins Philippine Cup Title
Arwind Santos has been the most consistent San Miguel Beer player in the PBA Finals and in the Alaska side, Calvin Abueva has been playing great in the series. One of the two may win the PBA Finals MVP Award unless June Mar Fajardo or Dondon Hontiveros will explode in Game 7.
Even if both Arwind Santos and Calvin Abueva are great players, they have not been part of the last 2 iterations of Gilas Pilipinas. Can both be a good fit for Gilas Pilipinas 3.0?
