Meanwhile, speedy guard Mark Nonoy is this year's top rookie, after averaging 10 points, 3.86 rebounds, and 2.29 assists. A Mythical Team selection in his final high school year in Season 81, Nonoy moved up to UST's senior team and shone immediately, alternating with Renzo Subido as the Tigers' playmaker.

Chabi Yo is the first Tiger to earn MVP honors since Dylan Ababou earned the award in 2009. Nonoy, for his part, is the first Rookie of the Year to emerge from UST since Jeric Teng, also in 2009.

Baltazar is making his second straight appearance in the Mythical Team. Malonzo and Suerte, meanwhile, are both one-and-done players.

Irebu finished with 90 SPs, and will be joined in the Mythical Team by Adamson University's Nathalia Prado (86 SPs), National University's Jack Animam (78.57 SPs), Far Eastern University's Clare Castro (66.64 SPs), and La Salle's Kent Pastrana (57 SPs).
