Prolific scoring Meralco import Eric Dawson led the fight for the first Bobby Parks Trophy through the elimination round of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
The former San Antonio Spur was the runaway leader in the stats race with an accumulated 707 stats points or a whopping average of 54.8 an outing.
Dawson was over a hundred points clear of closest pursuer Michael Dunigan of Air21. By average, the 6-foot-10 player was 6.8 ahead of second-running Robert Dozier of Alaska.
The Midwestern State U product is a strong contender for the coveted Best Import award being a consistent all-around performer – the biggest key in Meralco’s fifth place finish in the elims, ahead of more formidable teams Talk n Text and Barangay Ginebra.
Dawson was the scoring leader, averaging 30.8 points on top of his other norms of 15.4 rebounds, 3.1 steals, 2.2 assists and 2.1 blocks.
He’s also the runaway scoring leader, highlighting his surge with two 50-point performances.
Dawson erupted for a nine-year league-high of 57 points in a megavolt performance powering Meralco to a 102-92 win over Petron Blaze on April 5.
Dawson surpassed the previous season-high of 41 points by KG Canaleta just by the third period. The Meralco import could have easily topped Askia Jones’ 60-point output with Shell in 2001 had he not asked to be subbed with over 41 seconds left to play.
Average-wise, Dozier was second with 21.7 points, 16.2 rebounds (tournament best), 2.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 0.8 steal.
Reigning Best Import Denzel Bowles was fifth behind Dawson, Dozier, Vernon Macklin (47.5) and Dunigan (46.8). The San Mig Coffee reinforcement piled up 22.9 points, 15.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 blocks and 0.4 steal for 45.83 SPs an outing.
Dawson would make another case for himself if he’s able to lead Meralco past San Mig Coffee in their best-of-three quarters showdown.
The Bolts and the Mixers knock each other out for a stint in the Final Four in a lone game at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Big Dome.
Dawson endured an injured knee, coming through with 25 points and 18 rebounds as Meralco topped San Mig Coffee in Game One.
“I don’t know what he’s made of. He’s not limping at all. There’s swelling in his leg but you can’t see it in him. He’s a great inspiration to us. We’re climbing on his back and we’re riding the wave, him leading us,” said Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio of his prized import. (SB)
