-- Eric Menk of the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings is the latest cager to be named the Accel-PBA Press Corps Player of the Week after contributing greatly to his squad’s recent back-to-back victories.
According to PBA.ph, the 35-year-old Menk averaged 16 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in Ginebra’s wins over Barako Energy Coffee Masters and Sta. Lucia Realtors, making him the Player of the Week for the period of May 10 to 16.
The stats showed a marked improvement from the 2004-2005 Most Valuable Player, who averaged 7.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in Ginebra’s first 8 games in the Philippine Basketball Association Fiesta Conference.
“The other guys were looking for me and luckily my shots went in,” Menk told PBA.ph.
Ginebra coach Jong Uichico commended his veteran player, calling him their “steady guy inside.”
“He has been working extra hard to be in the best shape possible and is so focused on his game,” added Uichico.
The Gin Kings, with 6 wins and 4 losses, will go against the Alaska Aces on Saturday in Cebu City.
