2012 PBA Draft! - Turning out to be a deep class

[SamboyLim9]

Malakas maglaro si Maclean Sabellina. Poor Man's Arwind Santos nga tawag ko dun. Marami na talented players sa PBA D-league. Nag elevate din laro ng mga locals nung dumating yung mga Fil-Ams.

[Ahura Mazda]

Joey Villar: Ran into Letran assistant coach Kris Reyes and asked him how many years can Kevin Alas play in the NCAA. 2 Years. That's bad news for everyone.

Oh, ayan, malinaw na.

[hitch22]

My guess is minimum of 10 plus Go (name of team / name of monicker) in at least one of your posts. I dunno though. I got the Llamados pin because of the said formulae even if I'm not a Llamados fan TBH.

No need to post "Go _____" or any nonsense junk. Got my pin w/o doing so.

Who is this kevin alas kid? is he really good?

Fajardo, Ramos, Deutchman, Manuel in the draft? it would be a solid one already..

[triggersnipe]

Si JR Cawaling hindi ba magpa draft un?

Mag papa draft naba si Fajardo?dba kasama sya sa rule na hindi pwede mag pa draft kapag hindi pa nakapag laro sa Dleague?

[Ahura Mazda]

That rule only applies for Fil-Foreign players.

Pure Filipino naman si Fajardo eh so pwede na siya.

Wrong. Pure Pinoys or local-bred ballers are required to play in the D-League. I dunno if it's one conference or 1 year.

How about Slaughter? I think he doesn't need to play in the D-League anymore...to qualify for PBA rookie draft.

Yup. He needs to play in the DLeague(pero na sure kasi may sinabi si Eala no need na daw maglaro si Junmar sa DL). Kahit 1 game lang ata laruin ng Pure Pinoy pede. Pero pag Fil-For 2 conferences dapat maglaro.

No need for Greg to play, kasi naglaro na siya for Gilas(same situation with Lutz and Lassiter).

Hodge atop of heap as NLEX dominates D-League

Clifford Hodge continues to improve his stock for this year’s PBA draft as the NLEX Road Warriors remain unbeaten in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup.

The 24-year old former Hawaii Pacific University player is averaging 16.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks for the 9-0 Road Warriors and is currently making a strong case for MVP against Cebuanna Lhuillier’s Vic Manuel and Blackwater Sports Elite’s Kelly Nabong.

Manuel, the reigning Aspirants Cup MVP, is averaging a league-best 17.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game while Nabong averages 15.1 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists a game.

Cebuana Lhuillier is currently tied with the Big Chill Superchargers for second place with identical 7-2 slates while Blackwater Sports is in fourth place with six wins and three losses.

Other notable players in the ongoing D-League tournament include Cagayan’s Junar Arce (12.2 ppg, 11.1 rpg), Erase Plantcenta’s Allan Mangahas (13.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 4.4 apg), Big Chill’s Charles Keith Jensen (11.7 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 2.4 spg) and RnW Pacific Pipes’ Raymund Ilagan (9.0 ppg and 7.5 ppg)

mas impressive yung stats ni hodge, all star cast kasi yun team niya na NLEX tapos nakapag register pa siya ng ganyang stats.

gusto ko din yun jensen, parang si sean anthony na masipag din maglaro. same din sila ng taas at pangangatawan.

fil-foreigns needs to played at least 2 conferences sa pba d-league kung gusto nila mag join sa pba.... so far, hodge, ellis at alex mallari nakaka 3 conferences na sila sa pba d-league, si jensen pang 2 conferences na niya ngayon. si jason deutchman nakaka isang conference pa lang yata? therefore hindi pa pala pede mag join si deutchman sa pba?

[choker001]

Si JR Cawaling hindi ba magpa draft un?

takte 24 years old na si hodge?wala pa sa PBA ilang taon nalang ilalaro niyan ilagay na sa PBA yan nang mapakinabangan na

[Carangian]

takte 24 years old na si hodge?wala pa sa PBA ilang taon nalang ilalaro niyan ilagay na sa PBA yan nang mapakinabangan na

kung inde ako nagkakamali halos ganyan din ang edad ni Arwind & Kelly nung pumasok sila sa PBA. mas malupit si Espinas 26 na yata siya nung pumasok sa PBA.

[liberated101]

takte 24 years old na si hodge?wala pa sa PBA ilang taon nalang ilalaro niyan ilagay na sa PBA yan nang mapakinabangan na

halos ganyan naman mga age ng mga pba aspirants pumapasok sa pba. si vic manuel 24 na din, kahit si calvin abueva 24 na din and others.

chris lutz 27 na, marcio lassiter 25 na, mac barracael 27 na, japeth aguilar 25, jv casio 25 going to 26 na this year, kahit nga si dylan ababou mag 26 na this year pero batang bata yung itsura. mga rookie pa lang sa pba yang mga yan.

[Jay P. Mercado]

Yes, and there was a previous rule in the PBA in the past where draft applicants have to be at least 23 years old before joining the league. This was in response to the request of the defunct Basketball Association of the Philippines to make sure that the amateur players would have at least served the national team for around 4-5 years granting that they started suiting up for the country when they were 18 or 19.

As a matter of fact, Vergel Meneses would have been drafted much earlier than 1992 but was disqualified by the PBA from joining because he was deemed underage back then. If I'm not mistaken, he tried to apply in 1990, the same year when Alex Araneta was the top draft pick, Bong Solomon was the 2nd overall pick, Eugene Quilban the 3rd pick overall and eventual ROY, and Jayvee Gayoso rounding up the Top 4 in their batch.

This rule took effect because of sorry state of amateur basketball after Batch 1989 invaded the PBA. Top amateur stars and national players like Benjie Paras, Nelson Asaytono, Bong Alvarez, Dindo Pumaren, Boy Cabahug, Ato Agustin, Joey Guanio, Zaldy Realubit and other topnotch amateurs like Peter Aguilar, Dondi Roque, Ric Ric Marata, Romy Dela Rosa, etc. joined the pros and orphaned the amateur basketball landscape. Our 1989 national team that competed in the SEA Games ultimately lost the gold medal to Malaysia in heart-breaking fashion - the first and only loss of our country in the Southeast Asian setting. Players from this team included Jun Limpot, Noli Locsin, Dodong Postanes, Jun Reyes, etc and coached by Derrick Pumaren and backstopped by Yeng Guiao.

Because of the miserable state of our amateur basketball back then, the PBA agreed to set a minimum age requirement coupled with minimum number of units accomplished in college for each PBA freshman. Hence, the rule was 23 years old on or before the day of the start of the PBA first conference and at least 48 academic units completed in college. The latter became a different problem for people like Marlou Aquino and Kerby Raymundo.

Hence, at 24, Cliff Hodge and the others are at the right age when they join the PBA next season. I remember one of the oldest rookies to ever join the PBA draft (and getting drafted) was Shell's Aris Franco who was 29 years old when recruited by the Turbo Chargers. Raymundo, at 19 years old in 2000, may be one, if not, the youngest player ever to suit up for a PBA team with Red Bull Thunder.

chris jackson i think entered the PBA at the age of 30....

Jay, clarification lang. Did Alaska has the privilege of having the 1&2 pick for the draft having Araneta and Solomon as 1 & 2?

I remember the Marlou Aquino case. This was the reason why Adamson was suspended in the UAAP due to the falsification of records or something like that.

One more thing. When Red Bull joined the PBA and brought with them their amateur players together with Raymundo, and he was still young then at 19 which is the reason why he was relegated again to the amateurs. Why did the PBA allow Raymundo to return to Red Bull after reaching his age requirements and not join the draft?

Thanks
