I still feel a little optimistic about San Miguel getting Jay Washington. Washington and Mark Pingris can do wonders for the Beermen if only Siot Tanquincen knows how to utilize both of them.

Talk 'N Text though is the biggest winner of the draft.

Nindot kaau ang mga napili sa TNT. Kana si Rob Reyes, i can tell his the Pingris type of player. Kugihan sad kaayo

shock pud ko nga 2nd round si de la peña...pero ang TNT grabe overhaul sa ilang line up.. i think lig-on na au ang TNT ug Welcoat this year. gikuha palang to sa TNT si dondon + 1st round pick with Jay Washington + Ritualo.
