“We’re the only team in the league with a seven-footer, so we really want to take advantage of that,” said Ateneo coach Norman Black. Slaughter averaged 16 points, 8.5 rebounds and two blocks in the Blue Eagles’ two wins last week over National University (86-62) and University of the East (73-61).

Slaughter edged Adamson’s Janus Lozada and Alex Nuyles, Far Eastern University’s Chris Exciminiano and La Salle’s Luigi Dela Paz for the weekly honor.
