Up until the 2021 PBA Draft (or the Season 46 Draft,) playing college ball for the FEU Tamaraws is an automatic stint for drafted PBA applicants.
The Tamaraws may have only one first-overall pick in Jack Tanuan, but the team has had a multitude of Top 2 and Top 3 picks, which includes the likes of Johnny Abarrientos, Victor Pablo, Harmon Codinera, Andy De Guzman, Robin Mendoza, and Marc Stevens Victoria. The names I posted came from the pre-2003 PBA season, and regardless of placement in the UAAP standings, they can maintain their position as potential superstar hotbeds.
They even rank second in terms of Gilas draft applicants who have played in the PBA.
So let's check out how the Far Eastern University Tamaraws fared in the last 20 PBA Drafts. How many Johnny A and Victor Pablo clones have they produced in the span?
This is The Draft Score.
