2025 PBA DRAFT


2025 PBA DRAFT | 41 OUT OF 77
Of the 77 players selected in the 2025 PBA Draft, only 41 applicants were able to survive the first round of cuts.


THOUGHTS | NO 2026 PBA DRAFT
I would rather see the young ballers stuck in reserved seats one row from their team’s bench than aimlessly swirling in basketball limbo.


2025 PBA DRAFT REVIEW | MAGNOLIA HOTSHOTS
Magnolia’s roster remains one of the league’s best, but their championship drought looms large.


2025 PBA DRAFT REVIEW | PHOENIX FUEL MASTERS
Phoenix has a history of surviving rather than thriving, but if these picks pan out, maybe—just maybe—they can finally start rewriting their reputation.


THOUGHTS | PHOENIX CHEAPING OUT ON CONTRACTS
If I were a player, I’d rather pose for a photo op signing a huge, justified paycheck than smile awkwardly while settling for crumbs.


2025 PBA DRAFT REVIEW | BARANGAY GINEBRA SAN MIGUEL
Ginebra addressed their needs with wings and a big, but the reality is Tim Cone rarely throws rookies into the fire unless they are surefire stars.


2025 PBA DRAFT REVIEW | SAN MIGUEL BEERMEN
San Miguel is not exactly the kind of team that relies on rookies, given their deep core and championship pedigree, but the 2025 draft gave them an intriguing opportunity.


2025 PBA DRAFT REVIEW | TNT TROPANG 5G
TNT may not have landed big stars, but they’ve once again positioned themselves as opportunists who can turn forgotten names into serviceable pros.


2025 PBA DRAFT | WHY YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE A PBA TEAM
Terrafirma exists in the PBA in a limited capacity. They are basically a zombie franchise waiting for a proper end.


LOYALTY SWAP | EXPECT CONVERGE TO UNLEASH HELL ON THEIR FOES
I have no idea what Phoenix is planning, but Converge’s intentions are crystal clear.


2025 PBA MOCK DRAFT | THE CONFIRMED VERSION
I actually waited for the draft applicants to be finalized, and while this year’s pool isn’t exactly top-heavy with a clear-cut number one, it would be ridiculous to say it lacks quality.


2025 PBA DRAFT | 128 DRAFT APPLICANTS?!?
For now, this is all coming from unofficial info, since the PBA still hasn’t released the official applicants’ list.


2025 PBA DRAFT | WHO SHOULD TERRAFIRMA PICK?
One of the primary reasons the PBA urged the UAAP to modify its draft process may be attributed to the Terrafirma Dyip. This is a team...


2025 PBA DRAFT | POTENTIAL NCAA TAKEOVER?
If the UAAP keeps bleeding talent to Japan and Korea, then this could be the NCAA’s chance to finally swing the pendulum their way.


2025 PBA DRAFT ORDER | OFFICIAL?
The PBA has already released the official draft order.


2025 PBA DRAFT | MY "WHERE ARE THE TOP STARS" RANT
Recently, the PBA has reportedly asked the UAAP to relax its rules so graduating players can apply for the 2025 PBA Draft.


LOYALTY SWAP | TERRAFIRMA TRADES JAVI GOMEZ DE LIANO TO MAGNOLIA
The trade that sent Javi Gomez de Liano to the Magnolia Hotshots has been bugging me, especially since the Magnolia part of the second round was already confusing enough.


2025 PBA MOCK DRAFT | THE REALISTIC VERSION
I’ve sprinkled in some international players, standout college stars, and MPBL veterans.


THE TWO SIDES OF THE PBA BANNING THE EAST ASIAN-BOUND PLAYERS
Let’s cut the noise: players leave for two simple reasons—money and opportunity. And honestly, if a player sees both in front of him, why should anyone stop him?


THE PBA GAINS JUAN GOMEZ DE LIANO IN EXCHANGE OF ARVIN TOLENTINO?
So far, Juan GDL’s international career hasn’t panned out the way fans hoped. He went to Lithuania but barely saw the court.


THOUGHTS | AXEL DOROMAL TO THE VIETNAM LEAGUE
Doromal’s on the move again—this time taking his talents to the Vietnamese League.


THE MIKEY WILLIAMS SAGA CONTINUES?
It’s already the middle of 2025, and somehow, one of the top headlines in Philippine basketball is still the never-ending saga between Mikey Williams and the TNT Tropang 5G management.


LOYALTY SWAP | MAKE OR BREAK TIME FOR AVAN NAVA
This trade is more about what Nava can do with NorthPort rather than another “farm team” move by San Miguel.


2025 PBA DRAFT ORDER | VERY EARLY EDITION
Let’s say the 2024-25 PBA season ended today, with TNT locked into the 12th spot and Barangay Ginebra securing the 11th.


2025 PBA DRAFT | TOP 10 OVERSEAS PINOY HOOPERS TO SHAKE UP THE DRAFT (IF THEY JOIN)
It’s the next chapter they've been postponing. For others, it’s the final piece of their basketball journey.


KEEP THE PLAYERS OR TRADE FOR ASSETS?
The Starhorse Sea Titans were initially expected to inherit Terrafirma Dyip’s full roster, but is that really a good thing?


TNT HAS A WEIRD (AND GREAT) WAY OF LANDING ROOKIES
Chot Reyes may have his haters as Gilas Pilipinas coach, but as TNT Tropang GIGA tactician, it’s hard to say anything bad about him.


2025 PBA DRAFT | IS IT TOO LATE FOR JASON BRICKMAN?
In the PBA Draft, age DOES matter.
He is the PBA's version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.


THE RYAN RICHARDS SITUATION DEEP DIVE
The Ryan Richards situation is crazy.
