FIRST PICK - BARANGAY GINEBRA SAN MIGUEL
Philip's Choice - Greg Slaughter
- As much as I want Ian to be a Kabarangay, we can't just let this 7'0 ft behemoth passed. For Ginebra, all the scoring firepower is there, what they really need is a Center that will deflect shots, grabbed rebounds, do some Akagi dunks, and lastly be the JuneMar Fajardo stopper. Let's face it, in no time JF will dominate PBA, and every team wants someone that will somehow stop JF, and Ginebra is lucky to get someone that not only can stop JF, but is also is familiar with his game.
SECOND PICK - SAN MIG COFFEE MIXERS
Philip's Choice - Ian Sangalang
- Honestly, my personal choice for this team is Raymond Almazan. Why? since the Mixers strive for defense, we can see the next Marc Pingris in Raymond. But anyway Coach Tim already said it, they will get Ian or Greg depends on who is available. And we can't go wrong with that one, since everyone knows how talented this lefty big man from Pampanga is.
THIRD PICK - ROS ELASTO PAINTERS
Philip's Choice - Raymond Almazan
- It's not a secret that ROS needs a big man for this year's draft. And who is more fitting for this job? It's someone that is already practicing with them(during the NCAA break because of FIBA Asia), and to top it all, it's someone that is playing under a coach that is an Assistant in this team ;)
FOURTH PICK - BARAKO BULL ENERGY COLA
Philip's Choice - RR Garcia
- I believe that the 4th and 5th pick will be for RR and Terrence's place. I chose RR because I felt that he between the two, he has the more PBA ready game. I see him as a future starting guard for the lower bracketed - less superstar team.
FIFTH PICK - BARAKO BULL ENERGY COLA
Philip's Choice - Terrence Romeo
- Yes, many hates how Romeo plays. But we must admit that he is one of the most talented player in this year's draft. He can be a 6th man/sparkplug of any PBA team. YES, ANY PBA TEAM. If his game matures, he will be a hot commodity in the league.
SIXTH PICK - BARAKO BULL ENERGY COLA
Philip's Choice - James Forrester
- Barako Bull has many wing players but they can't let this kind of talent go. Forrester is like a poor man shorter Chris Ellis but with a lot of toughness. One thing that the coaches will like about this guy is that he can be that stopper of the scorer of the other team. And with that alone, can give their team a lot of upsides.
SEVENTH PICK - GLOBAL PORT BATANG PIER
Philip's Choice - Jeric Teng
- With Gary David now playing for Meralco. This is the right time for the Batang Pier to get a scorer-shooter that will contribute right away to their team. Yes, Jeric is not that impressive when it comes to penetrating but his shooting touch beyond the arc can really be a plus for this team. Also the fanbase of Jeric Teng is big. It can help GB's market ;)
EIGHT PICK - ALASKA ACES
Philip's Choice - Nico Salva
- The Next JC Intal without the hops. That is how I can describe Nico's game. Alaska is already a complete team, but with TDLC's guidance, he can help Nico to be like him. That aggressive defending plus the money in the bank midrange shot will let Nico play in the PBA for a long time.
NINTH PICK - ROS ELASTO PAINTERS
Philip's Choice - Eric Camson
- It's so intriguing to see how will Eric Camson plays in the big league. He played 4 in ADU. But with the height of only 6'2, can he survive in this league? I see him as the better version of Ronnie Matias so I will not be surprise if Coach Yeng Guiao will get this guy.
TENTH PICK - SAN MIG COFFEE MIXERS
Philip's Choice - Alex Nuyles
- I'd like to see Justin Chua at the 10th spot. But with the current roster of this team plus the near addition of Ian Sangalang, I feel that Coach Tim will draft other talent. And with that one, I think that it is a wise choice to get a scorer/wing guy that can defend. Alex has a lot to prove after his short UAAP season a year ago. And with that motivation, I guess that he can crack some minutes in this deep team.
