Anyone knows the possible draft order and their possible picks for the incoming draft?
2011 draft will be next month i think.. 2011draft for season 2011-12
One thing I'm sure, the rights of Air21's 2012 1st round pick was actually for Bmeg!
So if they have another losing record next season...Bmeg might get the no.1 pick..![]()
Not only does God play dice, but sometimes he throws the dice where we can’t see them.
Paul Lee is definitely a candidate to be a first round pick.
OT:
In my book, this is BMEG's depth chart:
PG: Roger Yap, Jonas Villanueva
SG: James Yap, PJ Simon
SF: Kerby Raymundo, Joe Devance
PF: Marc Pingris, Rico Maierhofer
C: Rafi Reavis, Don Allado or Rommel Adducul
on the verge: Jonathan Fernandez, Josh Urbiztondo, Allado, Adducul, Gaco, Escobal
come next season, if they are all healthy and injury-free, they will contend for the championship even if they will not be able to add a blue-chip rookie.

EARLY DRAFT BIRDS. (Thanks to MS HAZEL ANCHETA, NOLI CORTEZ & PBA PRESS CORPS PRESIDENT TITO TALAO)
Pilipinas Smart-Gilas stalwarts Marcio Lassiter and Chris Lutz lead the first 10 applicants to the 2011 PBA Rookie Draft even as the PBA Commissioner’s Office has set August 18, 2011 as the deadline for both homegrown and Fil-foreign players to submit their application and other requirements.
Lassiter and Lutz are key players on the Rajko Toroman-mentored national squad which will compete in the FIBA-Asia men’s championship in Wuhan, China this September where the winner secures a spot in the 2012 London Olympics.
These two players are expected to go high in the Draft. Contesting the No. 1 overall pick in the Draft lottery to be held during the Governors’ Cup Finals are the Powerade Tigers and Air21 Express.
So far, 10 players have applied for the 2011 PBA Rookie Draft which will be held on August 28 at Robinson’s Place Manila. The other rookie hopefuls are Nino Nabong, Christopher Pestano, Raymond Montaniel, Marc Cagoco, Alvyn Cabonce, Christopher Concepcion, Felimon Fernandez and Marvin Graebel.
The move to have a common deadline gives Fil-foreign applicants, who had to apply by July 29 in the original timetable, three weeks more to complete their requirements.
For this year’s Rookie Draft, however, only Fil-foreign players who have played for the Philippine men’s basketball team and are over the PBA D-League age limit of 26 years old will be allowed to join.
The papers of all the applicants will still have to go through an evaluation process before the Commissioner’s Office comes out with the final list of candidates who will then have to attend the Rookie Camp on August 23 to 26.

LABAN KUNG LABAN! KAYA NATIN PILIPINAS!
Mabuhay ang TEAM PILIPINAS !!!!
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
THE DREAM LIVES ON !!!!
In one news item published in Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/SportsArticl...Id=69&keyword=), it says Lassiter and Lutz head applicants for PBA Rookie Draft. So what will happen if they get drafted by PBA teams? Will they leave Smart Gilas?
i dont see any problem with that considering that the PBA season usually kicks off in October which is after their Wuhan stint.

time to focus on my own battles.
it depends with their Agents and what's written in their contracts.
But if they get drafted they are then under the jurisdiction of the PBA and that means PBA Board approval is needed before they could play for the National Team.
It is more likely that the PBA might allow them to suit up with Gilas until the Wuhan tournament is over then that's it for them.
If you cannot amaze people with your intelligence, confuse them with your stupidity.
PBA Teams will ride on their coattails for sure and let them play for the flag until wuhan is over. these guys will not only represent ph but also their products.free exposure!

I thought Smart Gilas players are being given handsome pays, why would they still consider playing for PBA?
heard MVP lost a big amount of money which is still unaccounted for with this program. There is no indication that SMART would be renewing the players' contracts or if the GILAS program will continue or if a new program would be set-up.
Then their contracts only amount to what is given to PBA Rookies.
In the PBA even if there is supposed to be a Salary Cap, the teams are known to give under the table 2nd contracts to its player thus evading the BIR. This was revealed by Rene Hawkins and Jayvee Gayoso when other teams does not want to honor the 2nd contract Tanduay gave them. Then there is the money they could earn from the Gambling Syndicates.
this explains it .....

Disgust and confusion reigns within the team. More than half of the team unused.
The team you all just saw play are heroes. They played for the country, in spite of all these.
