I understand that the 2020 PBA draft is still a season away but, the potential class could really shake-up the league. I mean, there are at least six names that could have been the #1 pick of the 2019 PBA draft!
That is the depth of this draft! We will use their ranking last season. Let us start the mock!
#1 DYIP Jamie Malonzo
Thirdy will surely have more hype than Malonzo but I expect Jamie to get an opportunity to showcase his 6'7 frame and his guard-like athleticism.

#2 NLEX Thirdy Ravena
23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. That is the production of Thirdy when he led Gilas and several PBA players in a victory against Indonesia. Enough said.
#3 NLEX Justine Baltazar
At 6'8 and with a lot of skills, Baltazar could be the target of coach Yeng Guiao. With how good coach Yeng is in maximizing talents, just imagine him having a premium talent like Baltazar. He could push him to a top 5 player-level!
#4 ALA Jason Brickman
Did Alaska trade Chris Banchero, hoping to land a Jason Brickman? He is the perfect fit for a team that doesn't have an in-prime point guard.
#5 MER Joshua Munzon
Yes. There is a good chance that Munzon will fall out of the top 4. And yes. This is how deep this draft is.
#6 PHX Troy Rike
Phoenix badly needs someone that they can throw against the giants of the league. How about Troy, a legit 6'y that they can develop because the guy is a good leaper and agile.

#7 NOR Calvin Oftana
You are not aware of him? I do not blame you but this guy is the reigning NCAA MVP when he manufactured 15.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

#8 ROS Alvin Pasaol
How about another UE superstar for Rain or Shine? Other than Rey Nambatac and Javee Mocon, they do not have any future foundation piece. Pasaol fits pretty well as their next ace player.
#9 MAG James Laput
With the impending retirement of Marc Pingris and Rafi Reavis, Magnolia should prepare for the future. James Laput is the biggest center available at this point and height is still might in the PBA.
#10 BGSM Andrei Caracut
Andrei is currently in ABL, gaining experience in preparation for the PBA. He is only averaging 7.2 minutes per game but I am pretty sure, he is learning a lot from Jimmy Alapag.
#11 NOR Santi Santillan
Northport knows the importance of bigs in the PBA. So, they will surely grab the best available at this point. Especially if the rumored Standhardinger trade, happens.
#12 SMB Franky Johnson
There is a little hype for Johnson but he can easily be the next Fil-Foreign guard who will be drafted low but will surprise us with what he got.
