#7 Rain or Shine - Andre Paras (#8 in Last Mock Draft)
This is an easy one. Paras is joining the practice of Rain or Shine and with Beau Belga and Jay Washington getting older, Paras is just the perfect prospect. Belga will teach him the tricks that will make him a long time PBA player. 

#8 Magnolia - Javee Mocon (#9 in Last Mock Draft)
Coach Chito Victolero could be looking for a hardworking wing who has the potential to be a wing stopper. That guy could be Javee Mocon who is also capable of filling up the stat-sheet. Although Robert Bollick is the bigger name, I think Mocon has a higher potential with his size and smarts.

#9 Rain or Shine - Ron Dennison (New)
If Rain or Shine wants to take a player that will accept their grinding mentality easily, that guy should be Ron. He is currently playing in MPBL and PBA D-League to make sure that he will be at his best in the upcoming draft. Dennison is known for his blue-collar approach to the game and his defense.

#10 Alaska - Aris Dionisio (New)
Alaska should take a bigman. Aris did not play in UAAP and NCAA so he will not have enough hype entering the 2018 draft. Even Philip Cezar is already a believer of Dionisio. He is a hyper-athletic big that can defend in the perimeter and capable of protecting the rim. 

#11 Phoenix - J-Jay Alejandro (#10 in Last Mock Draft)
J-Jay is a triple-double machine for a guard. Yes. He is on the same mold as Scottie Thompson. That kind of guard can be a good partner to Bollick and Matthew Wright. He can also hit three-pointers as exhibited by the 1.7 long bombs that he made per game in UAAP.

#12 San Miguel - Trevis Jackson (#12 in Last Mock Draft)
According to Alex Cabagnot, he sees a lot of Chris Ross in Trevis Jackson. So, how about drafting Trevis and letting him learn from Chris Ross? Trevis is an elite ball-handler that can hit shots from all over the court.
