Pba draft 2024

[lem0nadi]

Not gonna lie I think this draft makes the PBA exciting again. I just hope no more bullshit unfair trades then people watching in the arena will come back.

[lem0nadi]

If I am converge I would pick Balunggay over Balti, 6'7, 24 yrs old > 6'9 29 yrs old. I even think Kai is better than him. Although if we are talking about the talent overall for this draft, Barefield definitely clears. Converge just need a big I guess.

Funny if cansino and nonoy ends up with converge.

6 foot PG/SG Fil-Viet Michael Soy might catch some curiosity from teams and fans alike.

I think Lemetti is a much better prospect than Soy.

Is this the deepest PBA draft class in the last 20 years? Balungay, Abarrientos, Ildefonso, Barefield, Balti would easily be top 5

Well, 2021 draft is stock too… Malonzo, Mikey, Oftana, Santillan, Stockton, Caracut, Ilagan, Melecio, Laput are stats or become major contributors in their respective teams

FIRST ROUND

1. Converge - Justine Baltazar

2. Blackwater - Sedrick Barefield

3. Terrafirma - Rj Abarientos

4. Phoenix - Dave Ildefonso

5. Northport - Evan Nelle

6. NLEX - Kai Balunggay

7. Rain or Shine - Jonel Policarpio

8. Rain or Shine - Jerome Lastimosa

9. Magnolia - Caelan Tiongson

10. Meralco -Cj Payawal

11. Ginebra - Cj Cansino

12. San Miguel - Mark Nonoy

Suddenly the draft is 12 deep.

I think SMBs biggest need is a mobile defensive PF or a tall SF. Somebody who has a decent perimeter shot but is not a bad defender. This was the weakness Meralco exploited

Balti is only 27 and probably 6’7 but with a long wingspan. Yes if it is just talent it woukd be Barefield. But Balti is a loyal guy. I think that will be rewarded. TNT will gets its Mikey replacement via BW. SMC will get a tall athletic forward via TF.

[reamily]

In theory phoenix get a star in rj will they pass up on him.on fears that he will leave in a year or two..but rj in an indy yeam.will.be good for the league..

[lem0nadi]

Damn, Kobe Paras declaring for the draft will make this the 2018er NBA draft in PBA terms. I don't think he has plans anymore on playing basketball.

[r1ck]

The problem with Phoenix is they already have Tyler Tio and capable vets in RJ Jazul and RR Garcia. But it is hard to pass up on a guy like Abarrientos who has proven himself in foreign leagues. But the real question here is who will Terrafirma get as the third pick, Kai Balunggay or RJ Abarrientos? And rumor has it that Converge is more interested in securing Abarrientos rather than Barefield.
