Here is our ranking of the potential bigman that will enter the next draft! Of course, Mike Phillips is not on the list because he is about to play for Japan B League team.
#1. DJ Fenner: 6'6 Current Value - 10 Potential - 8 He is expected to be a forward in the PBA but with a size that can play as a bigman, he should still be at the top of this list.
#2. Kymani Ladi: 6'7 Current Value - 7 Potential - 10 His wing-like athleticism makes him the most intriguing bigman prospect for this draft.
#3. Allen Liwag: 6'6 Current Value - 9 Potential - 8 As we witness the breakout of Justin Arana and remember that Liwag looks and plays like Arana 2.0.
#4. Darrin Mayo: 6'8 Current Value - 8 Potential - 8 He is easily the most interesting prospect that I saw in the tape. He moves really well for a 6'8 which means he can be a monster in the PBA.
#5. Sage Tolentino: 7'1 Current Value - 7 Potential - 9 You cannot teach height and size. Sage is not only tall but his frame is capable of filling up well.
#6. Kamaka Hepa: 6'9 Current Value - 8 Potential - 7 He plays as a bigman and he moves really well. He is doing well in a low-level European league.
#7. Raven Cortez: 6'8 Current Value - 7 Potential - 8 His timing on the defensive end is really good that I think he can reach a high level if he sustain his development.
#8. Mason Amos: 6'8 Current Value - 7 Potential - 7 The main selling point of Amos is his willingness to take 3s and his size.
#9. Drex Delos Reyes: 6'9 Current Value - 7 Potential - 7 Drex is huge and he seems to be eager to improve his game. If he can, he could be a long-term PBA starter.
#10. JT Tan: 6'8 Current Value - 8 Potential - 6 Tan plays inside. I am not sure he has enough footwork to be stable on defense but it is worth a try.
#11. Gani Stevens: 6'7 Current Value - 7 Potential - 6 Gani works hard inside the court. I think he can have a long PBA career but his stagnation in terms of skills is not a good sign.
#12. Kevin Santos: 6'5 Current Value - 5 Potential - 8 In the lens of a bigman, Santos may not be playable right away but his blocking is kinda special.
#13. CJ Lane: 6'10 Current Value - 7 Potential - 5 Lane has been on our radar for quite a while. Will we finally see him enter the draft?
#14. Cedrick Manzano: 6'5 Current Value - 6 Potential - 6 Manzano has a lot of believers. If this is a forward position ranking, he will be higher.
#15. Anton Eusebio: 6'4 Current Value - 5 Potential - 5 Eusebio can end up as an undersize bigman in the PBA if the team that will draft him will develop him there.
