His game reminds me a lot of Pau Gasol. Very interesting to see him coached by Tim Cone.

He has already confirmed many times that he will play his final year with DLSU. So he will definitely not join the next PBA draft. He's still "only" 22 years old.

You're missing the point my brother

Not sure about the reliability of this article, but it's rumored that Phillips is not yet out of the running for 2025 PBA draft:

Brickman’s age is about 33 thus diminished his stock but he may get drafted in late 1st round or in second round. With a player with his credentials he can still play at least 1-2 years as solid starting PG in PBA before he eventually hang his jersey.

Lane, De Corsi, Fenner and McKinney are all beyond their prime and already above 28 y.o. Realistically I think only 2 of them may end up in PBA next year. DJ Fenner and CJ Lane.

PBA will be entering its 50th year next year and with much fanfare about to happen expect all PBA stakeholders will put all their hands on deck. And prepare in full wing and all out. That will include 2025 draft. So I expect more blue chip players to apply in addition to those you listed above. I believe Kamaka and Remy will send their feelers.

I think one of PBA teams will make a serious bid to persuade Jarod Lucas to enter draft. In short, next year draft would be the most talented cohort in 50 years of league’s existence.

Is CJ Lane finally joining the draft? Or is it still a rumor

[Joe Yabuki]

Mike should definitely get drafted on the next one, just get his Gilas eligibility asap. Ben is already drafted but hes still with La Salle the past season

Mike Phillips will play his final year with DLSU this coming UAAP 88

Does Mike Philips still have playing years after this? He should join the draft he is isn't qualified for japan leagues

I wonder how many quality Fil - Foreigners will join the draft.

[AndreiRuss]

Escamis might join the draft. 1st rounder or early second round prospect.

It’s preposterous for PBA to cover incoming prospects for 2025 draft under its outdated rookie scale salary cap. What if journeymen Jason Brickman and DJ Fenner decide to apply and get drafted? Obviously they will not be happy if the PBA team that drafted them will offer the current rookie pay scale.

No wonder Thirdy Ravena is trying all he can to avoid playing in PBA. After earning huge salary in Japan and Dubai, I don’t blame him…

And also could be one of the reason why Rhenz Abando did not apply this year’s draft…

[FilWelsh]

Jarod Lucas was also reported to have obtained Philippine passport at age 18. Well, maybe with the assistance of FilAm Nation.
