Thompson named Davco-Best Player of the Conference, Brownlee wins coins.ph-Best Import award

BARANGAY Ginebra duo Scottie Thompson and Justin Brownlee swept the top individual awards of the Season 47 PBA Commissioner's Cup.

Thompson, the Season 46 Most Valuable Player, won the Davco-Best Player of the Conference honors as Brownlee took centerstage as the Bobby Parks' coins.ph-Best Import awardee during rites held before Game 4 of the finals at the MOA Arena Friday.

The Gin Kings' new face and resident reinforcement repeated their sweep of the awards in the Season 46 Governors' Cup in April last year.
