2023 PBA Mock Draft 3.0: Ginebra targeted a UAAP superstar!



Here is our updated mock draft! Just take note that the draft order was crafted from the standings two weeks prior to the end of the elimination round.

 1 DYIP One of Ramos/Paras/Baltazar/Thirdy -  I am happy that these four players are thriving in the International scene but I really feel that one of them will be entering the PBA next year.

2 ROS Remy Martin - Martin's NBA dream could fizzle out as early as this year because of his height but the chance to be one of the top 3 player in the PBA is wide open for him to claim.

3 ROS Zavier Lucero - The fact that Zavier has not signed with a professional team increases the hope that he will be joining the 2023 draft and I believe that another excellent showing can propel him to #1 discussion.

4 NOR Kenmark Carino - He can be the top center option in the upcoming draft. Even though his Japan B league voyage was not that successful, his height did not change and his length remained.

5 NLEX Sedrick Barefield - This draft can end up to be a historic one that even Sedric will end up sliding to the #5 slot. That will be a blessing for coach Guiao because of their need for a consistent ace.

6 PHX Will Gozum - Phoenix have a good depth in their frontline but they should continue to search for a consistent game-changer in the bigman position. Gozum is their best bet here.

7 MER Brandon Bates - Another center that we are hoping to join the draft. Bates has the size to become a relevant center in the PBA. Bolts is also in need of a giant who can be part of their frontline rotation

8 BWE Juan Gomez De Liano - His name recognition alone is enough to push him as an interesting option at this point and he is worth it of a chance to prove that he can be the starting scorer of the future for BWE.

9 BGSM Deschon Winston - The addition of two more very good prospect can push down Deschon to Ginebra. This can be the dream scenario for Ginebra as they continue to search for a future Tenorio successor.

10 MAG Lawrence Domingo - Call it the last time that we will anticipate Domingo to join the draft. Domingo has the athleticism and grit to become a good player in the PBA.

11 BWE CJ Lane - After drafting a guard in their first chance, Bossing can then try a center. CJ can end up to be the biggest guy in this upcoming draft.

12 DYIP Warren Bonifacio - He is the leader of the 2022 NCAA finalist, Mapua Cardinals. He is undersized for a bigman but we saw how Ato Ular thrived after sliding to the forward position.
