2012 PBA Rookie Draft

[ryan17]

may nabuhay ata.. ayaw na ayaw kay abueva tapos sabay puri sa isang aces player.. welcome back!!

[Danmei]

sino ba talAGA mas lamang si abueva or si hodge para kasing mas maganda lumaro si hodge kay abueva. right?

[legendpba]

lamang talga.. balak kasi ng petron kunin si hodge kaya ginagawa pinupuri nila si abueva para mauto si trillo.. pero wais ata si trillo di papasilaw kay abueva.. stick with hodge pa din sila sa 2nd pick.

[Danmei]

edi mas maganda kung si hodge ang kunin ng alaska, para sa petron si Tiu.

[darknight10]

I haven't seen some players play. Fajardo, Hodge, Abueva, etc.

Sure na si Fajardo sa first(Petron).
Sa second pick(Alaska), forget Tiu. Kung sa 2010/2009 draft to, mapaguusapan pa. Based on stats, Hodge's stats is better than Ellis'. I've seen Ellis' highlights but I haven't seen him play a whole game. Abueva? 6'3. 20-15-7-1-1 stats. Power Forward. It's a risk. PBA haven't encountered a player like this before. If Hodge isn't there, Pwede pa. Pero I'd rather take a 6'6 Hodge.
Third pick(Petron), I believe they are now complete in EVERY POSITION. Bench nila, starter na sa iba. Would they waste another career of a player who has full of potential(Abueva) or Get a marketable player who is smart enough to play(Tiu) Forget Ellis. They already have Lutz and Lassiter. I don't think they'll risk Lutz' and Lassiter's potential by drafting Ellis.
For the fourth pick(Meralco) Sa Meralco pala to, they still lack big man. But I believe they won't pass on Calvin Abueva. They wouldn't let SMC get this man under their umbrella. They need a big man. Their guards are already okay. Aging Taulava/Hugnatan. Not fully-potentialed Reyes.Ballesteros.Borboran. Anyway, they can work things out with their sister team to get Japeth. Kung naging bust rin to katulad ni Ballesteros, ewan ko nalang. Besides, Abueva is special case. Wala comparable player dito from the past. Beast numbers. It's worth the gamble.
For the fifth pick(Barako) Ang dame pang natitira. Chiu Ellis Jensen Mallari Marcelo Manuel Ramos Taha Pascual. Nabong. Among these names, I believe Barako will just get the best player available.(for trade options).
Sixth pick(Ginebra) sa Ginebra pala tong pick na to. I believe they lack in their 3 spot. I saw a youtube vid of this guy, Alex Mallari. Quick. Tall. Great ball handling. Can play multiple positions. If this guy can play ala Norwood/Dillinger, that will be great for Ginebra.
Seventh pick belongs to (Rain or Shine) Former champion. Laking butas ang iniwan ni Cornley sa Rain or Shine. Ang rame pareng talent ang naiwan. I've seen one youtube video of Keith Jensen. He can be the local version of Jamelle Cornley. Pero pwede rin Alex Mallari. Norwoord + Mallari(ala Dillinger daw). Walking mismatch. Tapos may Lee pa na malakeng katawan. Dave Marcelo is also an option. I've seen his blocks against Abueva. At kung mahasa pa lalo, he can be a threat in the post. Yousef Taha too. I'm sure RoS will not trade this pick.

Tinatamad nako. haha. Yan yung opinion ko. Marame pang natitira sa Draft. Chiu(biggest risk). Marcelo(decent bigman). Nabong(hardworking center daw) Manuel(former MVP. I don't have any idea how this guy plays). Ramos(Early 2nd round pick). Taha(6'8 center). Pascual(bigman. no idea how he plays)

For the fourth pick(Ginebra) I believe this is Abueva's place. I've seen some highlights. And read that he plays with heart. This is what Ginebra wants. I think they lack on 3 spot. Abueva can slide to a Small Forward with Maeirhoffer at 4.
For the fifth pick(Meralco) Their guard spot is already okay. Adding one will be chaos. Mahina yung loob nila. Taulava Hugnatan aging. Reyes Ballesteros not living with their potential. Just a guess, Kelly Nabong will make a name in the PBA. Kung maging next Jason Ballesteros to, Malas talaga ng Meralco.
Sixth pick na(Barako) Ang dame pang natitira. Chiu Ellis Jensen Mallari Marcelo Manuel Ramos Taha Pascual. Among these names, I believe Barako will just get the best player available.(for trade options).

Manuel(former MVP. I don't have any idea how this guy plays). Ramos(Early 2nd round pick). Taha(6'8 center). Pascual(bigman. no idea how he plays)

4th Pick Overall belongs to Meralco Bolts not with BGK.

5th Pick Overall belongs to BBE not with Bolts.

I think its belong to Powerade....

Yeah, originally it belongs to Powerade.

BBE acquired the rights of the 2012 1st Round Pick of Powerade then it was traded to BGK along with KG Canaleta in exchange for Willie Miller. Barako Bull Teams is the former Air21 Team.

the legendary ******-******?

[svet23]

ano ba draft order sa second round? thanks

[KevinDurant]

That's also possible. Not that ROS can't afford it but they do work within a certain budget not comparable with the SMC and MPIC Groups. Only Gabe Norwood is the max salaried player at ROS at P350k although the cap has been adjusted to P420k already starting September last year. The rest are earning in the P100k to P250k level.

In the absence of any bonafide center, Pennisi would be the most ideal for Yeng's system. If Guiao feels he's just one Pennisi away from winning his first AFC, then regardless of the amount, they'd still probably go for him...

Or it could be Dorian Pena. They have Quinahan as a big man who can shoot anyway. Pena is a purely inside player that ROS lacks.

Or they could be looking at Eman to Alaska for that 7th pick.

meron sa wikipedia, although hindi ata accurate dahil may two picks ang BMEG sa second round. not sure about the others.

If Yeng Guiao is really a genius at developing players I'd like ROS to get Gian Chiu or Yousef Taha.
Para may ma-develop tayong bigman.

[PXeL]

This is actually is very possible. The trio of Yeng,Dr.J and Ruel Nadurata could really be eyeing Gian Chiu and Yousef Taha.

Sounds ridiculous,...yes, but this trio knows how to develop new players. They proven it many times with picks that seemingly is a bad one ,then later on becomes a really good player(Larry Fonacier-14th pick and Jeff Chan - 13th pick)

Yeng is obviously still playing mindgames with the other teams right now. Trying to send a message that they need a point guard, but the truth is they might just draft Chiu or Taha in the first round.

[conp_]

For RoS, which is the better and wiser decision: Trading for Eman or drafting Chiu/Taja?

[ventrilokwist]

parang nilait mo naman si paolo mendoza. at least si pao mendoza shooter at star player to sa UP dati. kinakatakutan. si chris tiu. wala pang napapatunayan napatunayan nyan e pogi at nasa smart gilas. pero kng threat sya sa pba. wala. kawawa lang pupulot dito ksama si calvin abueva na mga draft bust rookies ng pba ngayon. abueva and tiu.

Obviously hindi mo napanood si Tiu nung naglaro ang Smart Gilas sa PBA last year. Siya at si Lassiter ang leading scorers ng SG nun. Not to mention, he was very good defensively. Hindi mo aakalain na ganun siya ka-physical. To say that he is overrated is unfair. To all of the teams he played for (ADMU, SG) Chris has always been a vital contributor. Napaghahalatang hater.

[khalel610]

basta ako sana makakuha ng legit bigman ang ROS puro kase undersized kahit sabihin mo pang extra large sila Belga at Quinahan mas Ok padin na may pantapat sila sa malalaki ng ibang teams. Kita naman outrebounded sila sa Bmeg.

[kabakab]

Meron palang special request si Mr. Romero sa pagpasok nila bilang bagong team...

If accepted, the board has to rule on some concessions Romero has requested, including getting the first overall choice in the rookie draft scheduled Sunday.

Over SMC's dead body. Kung saka-sakali, baka pwede pa 1st pick in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

[Player_1]

Never gonna happen
