Aaron Black made history after he was heralded as the Outstanding Rookie of the 45th PBA season in the Special Awards ceremonies Sunday.
The Meralco guard is now the lowest draft pick ever to win the award. He was the Bolts’ 18th pick in the 2019 regular draft.
He won the plum over Ginebra forward Arvin Tolentino, Alaska big man Barkley Ebona, Magnolia’s Aris Dionisio, and Terrafirma’s Roosevelt Adams.
