PBA Draft 2012 (possible order and draftees)

[tito thoots]

He's the lesser known of the bunch. Underdog talaga. Know him personally. Played for the Pro Am League dito sa Chicago where some NBA, Euroleague and DLeague locals play during the summer. Siya lang yung Asian na first ever na na invited to play. Mabait din na bata. Know him personally. He is kniwn as Tsunami in these parts - yung mga itim ang nagnickname sa kanya nun. Here's his highlight video that he made at an agent's request:

He reminds me of a left handed attacking mould of the young Paul Alvarez but with a decent outside shot and a lot better ball handling skills. He should be very difficult to stop one on one if he can burn through both left and right side. You have my vote .... Great find....

Julius Pasculado has been discussed before here. http://forums.interbasket.net/f32/pb...-14134/p4.html

A junior member of IBN himself whose username is juliuspasculado.

[ricodgame]

^ he admitted that he is juliuspasculado himself.

from what I have read, he is used to play in some chicago leagues, and even played against some NBA players.

Julius Pasculado

@ Durden - Close! I am his friend Haha But many in the bball community in Chicago root for him... A true underdog story kase. But I will leave it to him to tell the story... Which I hope he can tell one day.
@ Nardong Putik - He is eligible kasi Filipino born yun at Filipino citizen pa rin (dual). HS na yun nag move sa Amerika.

Thanks everyone for your time. Marami kami dito na mangangampanya sa kanya. He deserves a chance. I'm not gonna praise him... Just let hi game speak for itself and you be the judge. Go Tsunami!

Siya nga yun. Kawawa people didn't even know him and dismissed him. But I guess kaya nya kasi passionate yun sa game. Buti na lang nadiscover nang good agent dahil sa video.

Thanks! That's a great compliment. Sana mabasa nya to for encouragement... Pero i'm sure di yun masyadong mag online kasi rookie camp na. Sobra ang focus nun friend ko.

2011 Draft Busts and Successes
I will dig this up couple of years from now

Here goes:
1. JV Casio- (bust) like a ritualo part2
2. Lassiter- (bust) just a hunch
3. Lutz- (success) future ROY and MVP
4. Baracael- (success) will earn solid minutes
5. Barroca- (bust) reliever PG
6. Ababou- (decent) import defender

Not too familiar with others.

Certainly..wishing him goodluck and lets wait for him to strut his wares in the philippines.. accordingly, a real game is important than an edited video highlights of a player.

Just like I said Great For the Aces bad for Dylan just look at KDP, the groomed to be the new Jeffrey Cariaso but where is he now?

And I highly doubt that Dylan would stay longer there:

Dylan: "Kaya nga ko nagpa-draft para magka-playing time e hindi para mababad ulit sa bench."

Remember: Tim Cone only has a few patience when it comes teaching the triangle to Rookies. And it would not be another surprise if he picks Eric Salamat higher he has a much higher Ibasketball I.Q. (plus the fact that a boy fanbase for is girl friend and his girl friend's sister) LMFAO

May attitude problem daw si KDP.

May attitude problem daw si KDP.

He spends of time recovering from injury than sitting on AA bench.

ariel mepana

You are right my friend. It is very different watching the entire game than just clips from games. However, it has its uses. Here, we use them to decide what position and playing style will fit his strengths. (usually the plays highlighted). The weaknesses will never be posted and that is where the trick is. The strengths will get you to the trials, the weaknesses will cut you from it.

Again, hope the underdog beats all odds and is given the chance! i assume you're talking to him, any sort of expectations? Has he been talking to agents already (you know advance marketing and selling himself )

[killmebusy]

Is he eligible to join the draft?

I thought you need to play in PBA D-League first unless you are member of a national team.

if he is over 26 he can enter the draft without dleague experience. good clips but how does he fair in a full game? or in a season? is he consistent enough or only shows flashes from time to time?

[acklium]

ariel mepana is a good role player for 4 or 5 position
