2023 PBA Mock Draft: GINEBRA picked the STEAL of the draft?



I am quite confident that the upcoming draft will be very deep! Here is our mock draft!

#1 DYIP Sedrick Barefield - Remebering the connection of Sedrick to Alex Cabagnot reignited my belief that he is the target of Terrafirma. Cabagnot is currently playing in Terrafirma.

#2 BWE Justine Baltazar - It seems like the 2023 PBA Draft will be the destiny of Justine. He will be strongly considered for the #1 pick but Blackwater could be his final destination.

#3 ROS Luis Villegas - I really hope that Villegas will join the upcoming draft. PBA badly needs to get bigger as a league. Rain or Shine will be more than happy to get a 6'8 with shooting and handles like Luis.

#4 ROS Deschon Winston - We have not heard any update about Winston's plan for the future and that could be good news for the PBA. Luis and Deschon will be a dream draft for Rain or Shine.

#5 NOR Juan Gomez de Liano - It is highly unlikely that Robert Bolick will still be playing for Northport next season. So, getting a dominant ball-handler could be their target in this draft.

#6 MER Zavier Lucero - The injury that Zavier suffered will be a hard thing to balance but with the potential that he has shown, I think the MVP group will still aspire to grab him.

#7 PHX CJ Lane - In an interview with a local Facebook page, Lane said that he is planning to join the upcoming draft. He will be an interesting option that Phoenix needs to consider with their need of a giant center.

#8 XERS Keith Datu - With what I have seen in Keith in the PBA 3x3, it will be easy for teams to fall in-love with him. He is big and really hardworking with a skillset of a wingman.

#9 NLEX Henry Galinato - Galinato is giving me that Zion Williamson vibes. Someone who is strong enough that he can easily be a star. NLEX needs a bigman and Henry played for UP that is connected to he MVP group.

#10 MAG Kenmark Carino - I think Magnolia could be intrigued with Carino's improvement in his three-point shooting. A stretch center could be the missing piece for Magnolia.

#11 NOR Caelan Tiongson - It seems like his papers are not yet cleared that he failed to play in the PBA 3x3. With a lot of months still before the upcoming draft, I am expecting Caelan to be eligible during that time.

#12 DYIP Willl Gozum - There is a good chance that the upcoming draft will be historically loaded that the NCAA MVP will be sliding to the last pick of the first round.
