Arwind’s resume speaks for itself. As one of the most decorated and complete active players, he is very possibly the best player in today’s game. Blessed with length, speed, and a knack for the ball, Arwind thrives from the midrange and is a defensive standout having led the league in blocks. He’s one of the best athletes Philippine Basketball has ever seen and has dominated both the amateur and professional ranks. With that said, don’t expect this future Hall of Famer to slow down any time soon.
