Now that the elimination round of the 2022 PBA Commissioner's Cup is over. Here is our updated mock draft!
#1 DYIP Deschon Winston - There is no guarantee that Winston will enter this upcoming PBA draft but if he does, he is clearly the guy. He is a monster on the two ends of the court. He can be the guy that Munzon never was.
#2 NOR One of Paras/Thirdy/Ramos/Baltazar - I have not gotten any information that will end my expectation that one of this big four names will join the upcoming draft. My biggest bet will be Thirdy Ravena.
#3 BWE Zavier Lucero - Can the MVP group convince Zavier to join the upcoming PBA draft? If they manage to do that, Blackwater will be waiting to grab him.
#4 ROS Luis Villegas - It will be hard for Rain or Shine to say no to a 6'8 center who can score inside and shoot threes. He was actually one of the top 3 shooters in 2022 UAAP!
#5 ROS Sedrick Barefield - Barefield signed a one year contract. So, he should be available during the upcoming PBA draft. Coach Yeng Guiao should be elated to have him in Rain or Shine.
#6 MER Will Gozum - Charles Tiu, the coach of St. Benilde, is currently an assistant for the Meralco Bols. With that connection, I am pretty sure Meralco will target Gozum.
#7 PHX Keith Datu - Phoenix should target a center. Datu is the most intriguing one for me because he moves like a wing and he can even pull-up from deep.
#8 BWE James Kwekuteye - Knowing the connection of San Beda to the MVP group, it is easy to expect the Blackwater Elite to target the top scorer of the Red Lions.
#9 NLEX Juan Gomez de Liano - NLEX may want to have a player that can be the face of their franchise. Juan is their best bet at this point of the draft.
#10 NOR Caelan Tiongson - Assuming that Ginebra wants him. I do not think they will take the risk of waiting for him the second round. So, they can talk to Northport and grab him at this point!
#11 DYIP Brandon Bates - It will be hard for Terrafirma to say no to a 6'8 giant like Bates at this point. He plays traditionally but his footwork is better than expected and he is quite strong.
#12 MAG Ricci Rivero - Magnolia franchise is the home of good-looking players, right? Rivero then should be a viable target for them if they want to bring back that vibe!
