According
to guy Jason Webb talked to in the Robinson’s Place Manila bathroom, Paul Lee is the first pick overall of
the 2011 PBA Draft.
That’s
kind of nice.
Wow in
Quinito Henson’s mock draft, Mark Barroca was ranked ninth while Dylan Ababou was ranked sixth. Jason
Webb and Mico Halili thought it was
a good idea to place Ariel Mepana
high on the draft.
Well I
got spoiled already so I’m just entertaining myself with the festivities.
What
the fucking hell are pretty young things???
Chito Salud thinks all the PBA players are
pretty.
Just
to know Mark Andaya might play for
Shopinas next season.
Rene Pardo gets a plaque. Last season was
an awesome year following the return of the three-conference format and Talk N
Text’s chase for the grand slam.
1 – Powerade takes
JV Casio.
I like
this choice. He is the first point guard since Mike Cortez to be selected
first. Please make their jerseys TV friendly because the numbers in their
uniform aren’t readable. Who is the new female interviewer of AKTV? Is she
Spanish? Whenever she talks it seems like there are a lot of R’s. JV will be
the star of Powerade unlike last year’s draft pick.
Wait...
Angeli Copter is an AKTV lady interviewer?
Will
the Boys Night Out crew commentate on PBA games?
2 – Rain or Shine
gets Paul Lee.
Again
this choice is as basic as anything else. Paul Lee will try his best to win his
first championship ever. Lee had a slew of outstanding seasons with UE... bakit
may dambuhalang paint brush?!? Wait... will the Meralco hard hat helmets return
to the draft stage???
Petron
trades Sunday Salvacion, Mick Pennisi, and a future pick for Dondon Hontiveros,
Carlo Sharma, and a switch with Barako Bull in their first round picks.
3 – Petron selects
Chris Lutz.
Wow.
Lutz is already 26? By the way, can Lutz be asked to play for the Smart-Gilas
squad?
By the
way, Patricia Hizon has been twitting infos surrounding the draft and she’s
also hosting it! How can she do that with ease!?!
4 – Powerade picks
Marcio Lassiter
Powerade
got lucky in getting two top Smart-Gilas picks.
Shopinas
wrestled away what should have been B-Meg’s pick.
5 – Shopinas picks
Mark Barroca
Wait.
Is Barroca doing derma work on his face?
Hmm...
so that’s what Mark Barroca’s girlfriend Ruselle Alinea looks like.
6 – Alaska gets
Mac Baracael
Alaska
now has another slasher in their hands. They are saying the hyperactive Baracael
is a PF but with the way he’s moving, he’s nothing like any PF’s I know.
The
seventh pick was traded happened in a very, very confusing way.
7 – Meralco selects
Jason Ballesteros.
THE
HARD HAT HELMET IS BACK!
I MISS
THE AIR21 COWBOY HATS!
8 – Barako shores
up lineup with Allein Maliksi.
He is
the D-League MVP. Yes... no cowboy hats.
Hay...
9 – Ginebra selects
Reil Cervantes.
I
really wonder why Dylan Ababou has yet to get drafted. By the way, he’ll get
great playing time with the Gin Kings which spells bad things for Yancy de
Ocampo... again.
10 – Barako Bull
selects Dylan Ababou.
Maybe
this happened because he was not wearing his contact lenses. Teams probably
perceived that he has weak eyesight? I have glasses too you know for those who
think I discriminate near-sighted folk.
The
second round has ended and I’m thinking the best players found their selves in
the first round.
Recap
time!
How
Rich Alvarez was the 2004 Rookie of the Year.
He
fell big.
Quinito
hinted on a possible clash with Arwind Santos and Marcio Lassiter in Petron via
job description.
That’s
a great way of saying things.
11 – Shopinas selects
Magi Sison.
He was
a former Smart-Gilas player.
Since
when did he get that mole?
12 – Talk N
Text gets Pamboy Raymundo
He was
also called PBA ready by some scouts. Hopefully he gets playing time with the
various guards they have in their rosters.
13, 14, 15 –
Alaska claims Eric Salamat, Julius Pasculado, and Ariel Mepana.
Wow
Pasculado has many fans inside the mall. He looks like a young Jayjay
Helterbrand. Eric Salamat and Ariel Mepana look like either cellmates or
Shaolin brothers.
16 – B-Meg
picks Brian Ilad.
I am
not happy with this pick. Is that jacket returnable?
Alaska
trades their 17th pick to the Meralco Bolts.
17 – Meralco gets
Gilbert Bulawan.
Meralco
traded well to get first and second round picks unfortunately they failed to
claim a scorer.
By the
way, Chris Ross’ hairdo is really curly!
18 – Ginebra checks
in James Martinez.
His
injury hurt his chances of claiming a high spot in the draft. I wonder if he’ll
get playing time in that squad...
19, 20 – Barako
Bull selects Kenneth Acibar and Paul Sorongon.
Acibar
looks like a smaller version of Gilbert Lao. Sorongon looks like Erick
Rodriguez.
Both
players aren’t getting playing time.
21 – Powerade picks
Marc Agustin.
I just
wished this was still a Talk N Text pick.
I don’t
know if Bo Perasol will use this guy properly.
And
now for the fun parts!
At the
start of the third round, Powerade and Barako Bull passed. Meralco also passed.
Rain or Shine also passed!
I
missed the days when there is a microphone and coaches are shouting “pass”.
B-Meg
also passed!
Alaska
also passed!
I
wonder what the reaction of the PBA hopefuls with regards to these
developments?
22 – Shopinas chooses
Marc Cagoco.
Waste
of talent of he fails to get drafted.
23 – Petron tries
out Filemon Fernandez.
The
29-year-old was born in Texas and he is dwarfed by Biboy Ravanes.
Ginebra
and Talk N Text also passed.
Here
comes the fourth round.
Shopinas
then passes.
24 – Petron picks
Gerald Lapus.
Ato
Agustin is asking one of the draftees to give up the jacket so that Lapus can
borrow it!
And
the jacket doesn’t fit!
Man I
thought this guy was a SF.
And
then the draft is over.
That
Risa girl needs to not shout and not be aggressive while talking.
All of
a sudden I miss Lia Cruz, Mica Abesamis
and Cesca Litton.
Quinito
Henson assessed things well in this draft. He was awesome in saying Lutz can
blend in more to Arwind Santos’ play than Marcio Lassiter.
Yeng Guiao
thinks Paul Lee is the missing piece of their puzzle. Rain or Shine needs a marquee
point guard and they grabbed it with Lee. Hopefully Lee won’t ballhog.
Julius Pasculado is the only second round to
get interview time. Something tells me that all the other team will eventually tremble
in his presence.
Jason Webb’s
60 percent prediction of the first round is better than his free throw shooting
average. Quinito Henson only had 30 percent but all ten players of Quinito
entered the first round. Mico Halili also had 3 of 10.
The PBA Season will open this October 2.
The PBA D-League will start on
mid-October.
Quinito
Henson suddenly became Joan Rivers.
Luckily Mico wrapped this before Quinito would even start a Tigbakan Alley-type
commentary of whatever the players are wearing.
By the
way, Gary David and Josh Urbiztondo
won the list.
Game
over.
Rizza Diaz is a former courtside reporter for the UAAP and NCAA. But the PBA is a different thing so she needs to be a little bit more calm.
ReplyDeleteMica will most likely stay with Solar while Cesca is a talent of ABS.
yes definitely! i mean it's like she thinks she's in a coliseum! she's okay though. she just needs to less shout and watch out on her r's.
