We have a big development in our mock draft as Rain or Shine managed to get another 1st round pick. They will get the lower of Alaska and Phoenix' pick. With it, Rain or Shine is bound to have 3 first round picks which basically give them enough ammunition to build a powerhouse team of the future.
Will they be able to do it?
#1 Columbian - Joshua Munzon
They added two bigs in their trade with Northport. That strengthen the case to get the most talented player in the draft that will play in their wing.
#2 NLEX - Isaac Go
Even though having the Ravena brothers in one team is an enticing option. The need for a big is more crucial for NLEX. He will provide spacing that coach Yeng loves.
#3 Rain or Shine - Thirdy Ravena
At this point of the year, I see the top of this draft as a three-man race. Ravena is the 3rd guy. Ravena is playing like the Westbrook of the Philippines. He can easily be the face of Rain or Shine.
#4 Blackwater - Troy Rike
Size is the most important thing in the PBA right now. Blackwater should not let go of the opportunity of getting a high-potential big. He may be a less-athletic Troy Rosario.
#5 Alaska - Jason Brickman
There is a good chance that Alaska will still be in disarray in the offseason. Thus, I expect them to get the player that could help them win right away. Brickman could be the best point guard prospect that will enter the league this decade.
#6 Northport - Santi Santillan
With their trade with Columbian and the unending rumors surrounding Tautuaa, they will need to get a bigman in the upcoming draft. He is a hardworker that could be the Sean Anthony-replacement.
#7 Rain or Shine - Larry Muyang
After going for talent in their first pick, they now need to take the best center available. Muyang is a traditional big which Rain or Shine can maximize by giving him a three-point shot.
#8 TNT - Taylor Statham
If they want a player that can help them win right away and has high potential, Statham is the guy. He is at least 6'5 who can play the guard position.
#9 Ginebra - Roosevelt Adams
If they need a shooter, Adams has the best pedigree for this class. He has good size and has the IQ to play under coach Tim Cone.
#10 Magnolia - Sean Manganti
They need a bigman. At this point though, I haven't seen another 1st round quality big that they could take. So, they should settle for the best prospect available and that is Sean.
#11 Rain or Shine - Alvin Pasaol
At this point, it will not hurt for Rain or Shine to get a great scorer, who has the potential to be a face of a franchise.
#12 Columbian - Aaron Black
With the triple-doubles that he has been putting up, Black deserves to be a 1st rounder. Columbian may need his all-around game to complement CJ.
