Judging by the stats from the Hooper’s 5X5 Quarterfinals on February 3, 2026, both players had great games, but Jhon Nhadd Macatingrao takes the edge as the more impactful "Best Player" for his all-around performance.
While Christian Paolo scored more points, Jhon Nhadd's ability to facilitate the offense and disrupt the defense makes him the standout.
Statistic Jhon Nhadd Macatingrao Christian Paolo Magtanong
Points (PTS). 15/18
Assists (AST) 7/1
Rebounds (REB). 3/5
Steals (STL). 4/1
Blocks (BLK) 0/0
Why Jhon Nhadd Macatingrao stands out:
Playmaking: His 7 assists suggest he was the engine of the offense, responsible for creating at least 14–21 additional points for his teammates.
Defensive Pressure: His 4 steals show a high level of activity on the defensive end, likely leading to fast-break opportunities.
Efficiency: He contributed across almost every major category, providing a more balanced "floor general" performance compared to Christian Paolo’s scoring-heavy role.
Christian Paolo Magtanong deserves a shoutout for being the leading scorer and a stronger presence on the boards, but in a 99-82 win, Jhon Nhadd's playmaking was likely the difference-maker.
