PBA Draft 2012 (possible order and draftees)

[killmebusy]

that is not a stupid post...he is in the pba because he is a reyes is true...but the bigger factor is that coz he studied in arrheneow. surely there are a handful other guys who are better than him but coz he has strong backers jai is in the pba.

[Cryotek]

sige, BMEG should draft him.
sampayan brigade, here they come.

Bmeg don't have their 1st round pick for 2011!

Exactly

Jai is a serviceable point guard. None more, none less.

But there are a lot of better point guards out there than Jai. Hermida comes to mind.

but he has a better 3 than hermida..
in basketball when you dont have a range and almost all of the players does have a same height as you have.
you will be eaten alive.

not always.
ust/uaap legendary shooter henry ong wasn't even the given to play in the pba.
anyway, a better PG is a free agent and he's named as pong escobal.

[FilipinoDad]

I agree about Escobal. Even while he's with TnT, he contributes when called upon.

from JB Baylon's post on the Powerade Tigers fan page.

I am told that some teams (wont name names) that have influence over some players (wont name names) will try to influence these players NOT to join this year's draft unless they can obtain the first pick from Powerade or Air21....Talagang ganyan.

With the Gilas program continuation, I am sure there are players who'll remain with the team and won't join the Draft. This would somehow give other non -Gilas players more chances of being drafted.

[reamily]

Poor JB I think what can you do the higher ups are influencing the players before hand even some using the name "Pilipinas" as a tool

[yogaflame]

such a pity that Lassiter will just go into a worthless and crap team like Powerade

[capitantiago]

such a pity that Lassiter will just go into a worthless and crap team like Powerade

what if charles tiu becomes the Powerade head coach?

he might still change his mind since gilas has up its salary to 250k per month

eric salamat and pamboy raymundo joins the draft....jason ballesteros and allein maliksi to follow...

I personally think maliksi will be drafted in the 1st round, maybe 10th pick. He has all the tools needed to play the 2 and 3,size,athleticism, and scoring prowess. Im high on him, i think he can be this years diamond in the rough.i think he's 25 maybe 26 yo, He reminds me of a young gary david who was with montana, im not sure what team that was.. He has upside, with all the physical tools he has, scoring prowess,great mid range game,underrated slashing game. I think he has a chance to be the next gary david if the all the right pieces fall into place. Well that's only my opinion,
who do you guys think would be this year's diamond in the rough?

But Maliksi needs to up his stamina though? that finals game in D-League in which in game one he was in and out of the playing court because of cramps..

In your last question.. Go for Lutz.. Good shooting stroke and a decent defender... but it really depends on what team will draft him and who's the coach..
