Pba draft 2024

[dubidub]

Lemetti looks like a combo guard who can pull up from 3 or get to the rim. He had decent stats in his sophomore year when he played for Omaha. Had Dave or Jonnel been available at picks 7/8, I wonder if ROS would've gotten Lemetti. Still a promising core tho. Hope Villegas plays already. They are now a complete team with bigs like Tiongson, Villegas, Datu; wings like Mamuyac, Clarito, Santillan; guards like Caracut, Nocum, and Lemetti. I also like the Malonzo pick. He seems like a Coach Yeng type of guy - sort of unheralded, good defensive player.

Bakits thinking Converge shouldve traded down for Balti - Barefield

Phoenix is lucky to get Kai but still needs a floor general and real playmaker.

Northport opting to pick Dave Ildefonso over Caelan Tiongson is really a head scratcher. I feel Dave Ildefonso has stagnated in the last 3 years that his value as a player was higher 3 years ago than it is right now.

I think Phoenix didn't expect Kai Balungay to be available for them as 4th pick overall. It was a lucky break for Phoenix. I also didn't expect Jonel Policarpio to be picked higher than Caelan Tiongson.

Saw videos of the two, Lametti is a spot up shooter, doesn't really handle the ball. Nava is a slasher / scorer reminds me of Sumang albeit with more tunnel vision, if hes a defensive specialist he didn't do a good job against Migs Ocszon. Bit puzzling picks for me as these two teams need a pg more. Then again Guiao loves his shooters.

Lametti isn’t a spot up shooter. He is a PG that can create his own shot.

Lemetti was a leading scorer of a 5th ranked swedish team...though unsure if the style translate to pba if yes watch out..

[Joe Yabuki]

So SMC prefers Dave over Jonel and Tiongson?

How good is Felix Lametti and Avan Nava? Lametti's stats are not impressive.

Escandor over Nelle is a headscratcher given how ROS badly needs a court general.2

I can see RJ being effective in the PBA but with our current Gilas maybe not much. We dont have a rim protector. RJ isnt known for his defense. Cone might be getting sentimental or something. But RJ is not the second coming of his uncle. IRC Johnny A had flair but took care of the ball. RJ from Gilas took risky passes and deep 3s. When they connect good but when not it can be infuriating. That’s why SJ and him were a good rotation. SJ was was more steady and at times predictable. RJ was more creative but ar times loose with the ball.

Johnny A when interviewed yesterday told RJ to play smart. Hopefully Tenorio or even his uncle can iron him out

Turns out that the Lemetti player who got picked by RoS is a national team player of Sweden.

Nelle with Letranites hahahahhahaa

LOL they wont dare and screw around with Duterte's boy

Kinda funny to see Aldin Ayo's mostly stoic face when Credo and Santos were drafted which shows he has little to no say on draft day. Again Boss Jacob making sure his drinking buddies get drafted like last year and as usual Converge acting as a safety net by drafting Gov PIneda's boys that get left.

Word is someone high up in the ROS company (Asia Coating Philippines Inc.) is good friends with the Escandors.

I wonder if RJ still has plans to go back to kbl, this seems like a huge red carpet for him. Teniorio understudy, hell they might move Johnny A in ginebra, most likely Gilas first choice. Not to mention smc perks.

Korea doesnt pay as much as the B. League.

Being a star in Ginebra probably means a higher salary than in korea.
