2017 PBA Draft Order Revealed

 

So I guess I’m going to make a NEW mock PBA draft… especially with the confirmed entries of Kiefer Ravena and Jeric… err… Jeron Teng as well as the final draft order.

 

What if Jeric Teng applied for this draft?

 

Hmmm…

 

As expected, Kia Picanto… or whatever car they want to name their squad… gets the top pick. They got this prize because of their insolence. Meanwhile, the NLEX Road Warriors get the second pick with the Blackwater Elite getting the third selection. The Phoenix Fuel Masters are number four, GlobalPort Batang Pier is at five, and the Alaska Aces are at number six. Rain or Shine, Meralco, Star, TNT, San Miguel, and Ginebra finish off the first round.

 

But what about the trades?

 

So I guess this is how the draft will work now that the order is revealed:
