Mamuyac, 23, has been a steady presence for the Blue Eagles this season, averaging 7.6 points, 2.93 rebounds, 1.33 assists, and 1.0 steals per contest.

His defense has been his weapon during his first three years in Ateneo but in his senior year, the 6-foot swingman has developed a three-point shot as well, knocking down 39-percent of his attempts from downtown.
