Also in the All-Rookie team to be feted by the PBA Press Corps are Adrian Nocum, Cade Flores, Kemark Carino, and Kenneth Tuffin.
Before the ongoing PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup plunges into the playoffs, Stephen Holt will receive one more honor following a stellar rookie season with Terrafirma Dyip.
Holt will lead the All-Rookie team to be feted in the 30th PBA Press Corps Awards at the Novotel Manila Araneta City on September 24, 7:30pm.
Now playing for Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel, Holt steered the Dyip to a historic quarterfinal finish in Philippine Cup last season where they scored a win against eventual finalist San Miguel.
The 32-year-old St. Mary’s College product was eventually hailed PBA Rookie of the Year.
The no. 1 overall pick in last season’s PBA draft will also share the honors with former Dyip teammate Kemark Cariño, Rain or Shine’s Adrian Nocum, NorthPort’s Cade Flores, and Phoenix’s Kenneth Tuffin.
