Days before the application deadline for the PBA draft, top talents are throwing their hats into the ring.

 

Junemar Fajardo, a mobile 6-foot-10 center who spent the past season with the San Miguel Beermen in the ASEAN Basketball League, is the latest big name to join the draft.

 

The former University of Cebu slotman joins a crack list of homegrown talents that include San Sebastian stars Calvin Abueva and Ronald Pascual former SMART-Gilas standouts JR Cawaling and Aldrech Ramos from FEU.

 

Earlier, top Filipino-American prospects also joined the prospects’ list, including Cliff Hodge and Chris Ellis of NLEX and Alex Mallari and Keith Jensen of Big Chill.

 

Petron, which is also owned by the same San Miguel Corporation that bankrolls the Beermen, owns the No. 1 pick after a previous trade with Air 21, and will use it on Fajardo. SMC executive Noli Eala calls the choice of Fajardo a “no-brainer”.

 

“Absolutely. He’s our man,” Eala wrote in a text message to InterAKTV.

 

Alaska owns the second pick, while Petron also owns the third choice that was originally from Barako Bull. Meralco, Barako Bull (from Petron), Barangay Ginebra (from Powerade), Rain or Shine, Ginebra again, B-MEG, and the new Mikee Romero-owned team that bought the Powerade franchise complete the first round.

 

Sana naman makuha natin kahit alin kina Mallari, Ramos o Abueva, 'yun ang kailangan ng team natin eh. Pero hanep din talaga mag manipula ang petron, bukod ke Fajardo malamang makuha din nila either one kina Ellis, Abueva at Hodge..

 

bilib kasi ako kay celino cruz. di sya kasing skilled tulad ni helterbrand during his younger years pero iba ang basketball intelligence ni celino. i have watched him played during his amateur and early years in the pba. he always looked to pass and always finds the open man. i believe he's very under rated point guard.

 

i have always respected jayjay helterbrand because of his contribution to ginebra. he played his best for the team. i wonder why he's being bashed by other fans? but we have to admit it that his time is up. father time has caught up with him.

 

Oo naman sir, bilib ako sa basketball IQ ni Celino, napanood ko din s'ya noon pa man during his FEU days..

he has savvy.. kulang lang sa machismo at pogi points, sa nba parang si "Fish".

[rickyfred]

Ayos na makuha natin si Hodge, balita ko ang tinatarget daw ng ginebra makuha ay isang PF at isang center...

[Kazekage.Gaara]

Sana lang wag swapangin lahat ng Petron. Masyado nang obvious yung violation nila ng salary cap. But seriously, I hope that Eala makes the right decision this time and give Fajardo or Abueva to BGK, as it's almost impossible to land Hodges with Meralco inserted in that arrangement. After all, they're also rebuilding.

[ray004]

parang the probability is we gonna get Abueva

Powerade franchise has been recently bought by Mikee Romero of Harbor Center so that means they can elevate 4 players from the amateur ranks that would shakeup the whole draft selection.

I saw this sa FB:

Isa lang naman ang tanong d'yan, can they maintain a team in the PBA long enough? Baka kagaya lang sila ng Tanduay noon.

Possibility makuha ng GinKings sa 6th pick either Mallari or Ramos...

[ray004]

whatever happened to John Wilson? laki ng potential ng batang yon. di na nabigyan ng break. ngayon nasa trading block pa?

[wendy testicleger]

kakatawa nga (or nakaka awa) yung ibang teams.....bakbakan yung ROS at BMeg at championship pa!........kaldagan..........ni halos walang posts sa kanilang room. Mas lalo sa room ng Rain of Shine. Halatang mga nanonood duon majority libre tickets at pilit dahil empleyado sila ng kanilang kompanya

Ibig sabihin, maraming miyembro ng Barangay ang malilibog.

natawa ako dito! lol

[ray004]

sour graping daw ako kasi na-eliminate ng bmeg ang ginebra ng 2 conferences...hahaha

 

i can't stop laughing really!

[rickyfred]

Pwede na si Mallari,Ramos,Nabong ang makuha ng Ginebra...

 

 

[Agent_mulder]

Sana makakuha sila ng big man at 'di guard hehe, si Cervantes akala ko ok pero mabagal at maliit para sa position n'ya pag sa PBA na..

[rickyfred]

Wow nabasa ko lang nasa ginebra na daw s JWashington...kung totoo yan may katulong na si Caguioa at Kerby sa scoring, problema mainitin ang ulo ni JWash kaya nasisira ang laro niya.

Kung totoo 'yan magandang balita 'yan, sino or ano naman kaya ang naging kapalit ni J-Wash?

yun na nga ang tanong...kung totoo ang balita sino ang kapalit...si menk? ang alam ko pa nga di pwede ang direct trade.

[rickyfred]

sabi magiging happy daw ang petron at ginebra sa darating na draft...nabasa ko lang yan sa fanpage natin sa fb.

 

tingin ko lang ha baka ginagapang na ng smc management ang #5 ng barako, kapalit cguro ni canaleta/labagala.

Kung si Menk ok lang, 'wag lang sana si KG, sayang eh. Kaso management prerogative/decision 'yan kung sino gusto nilang bigay kapalit ni J-Wash if ever..

[ray004]

washington? ok yan! at least may big man na legit scorer. wag lang din sana ipamigay si villanueva at mamaril. malaki pakinabang sa pang banggaan sa ilalim yung dalawang yon.

[vexy9]

ok rin kung mkuha ntin si Ramos. big man din yun...

[rickyfred]

Tingin ko mawawala talaga sa Ginebra si Canaleta, mataas pa naman yung trade value niya, nababangko din naman kasi siya madalas kaya better itrade na lang yung need ng team na center o pointguard.

 

 

[ray004]

^ not unless magpapalit ng coach at yung ipapalit eh will find canaleta's talent quite useful

[junix]

i agree to this. hope it will not be villanueva or mamaril coz these two are bangers and rugged defenders.
