“Impressive,” said San Miguel Beer’s reigning two-time MVP Fajardo on the Barangay Ginebra center’s dominance early in the season. “He just has to continue what he’s doing.”
Slaughter is averaging 27.3 points and 20.3 rebounds through three games, capped with a a 27-point, 19-rebound effort in the Kings’ win over Alaska in Dubai.
Fajardo, who is averaging a double-double as well with 16 points and 13 rebounds a game, and Slaughter are due for a titanic clash with the Beermen and Kings colliding on Sunday.
