2012 Mock PBA Draft 1.0

See this list? Welcome to the Sydrified Mock Draft 1.0 for the 2012 PBA Draft.

Oh. I heard news that Cliff Hodge and Chris Ellis are out of the SEABA lineup which means the shallow draft that everyone thought this draft is now evolved into something awesome.

But then I have yet to finalize this. The complete list of PBA hopefuls will be ready in the first week of July (July 7) and I have no idea who will back out. I am not endorsing this list by any means but for me, this is the way it should happen… for now.

FIRST ROUND
1	PET	JUNMAR  FAJARDO	Kraken is safely beached in SMC’s Petroleum Paradise. Now what?
2	ALA	CLIFF HODGE	Let Petron get Junmar because the best player in the draft is this guy.
3	PET	CALVIN ABUEVA	Ato Agustin reunites with his former ward but he may be the ticket for Danny Seigle’s SMC return.
4	GIN	CHRIS TIU	Ginebra’s backcourt isn’t as strong as it was a few years back and this guy is a nice find.
5	MER	KELLY NABONG	The Bolts have enough scorers in their squad so the logical pick for them are bigs.
6	BAR	KEITH JENSEN	He is a nice and safe way to pad the Manong Brigade with new blood.
7	ROS	VIC MANUEL	If Vic Manuel is still available, Yeng Guiao would definitely snag him.
8	GIN	ALEX MALLARI	If he’s tall, can depend and board, and has outside shooting as well then Ginebra gets a steal.
9	POW	ALDRECH RAMOS	Ramos lost his mystique after a bad ABL season but Powerade will crave for his height.
10	BME	CHRIS ELLIS	Guy needs to work on his shooting and turnovers but overall he’s an okay fit.

SECOND ROUND
11	ALA	JERICK CANADA	The guy learned a lot after an exceptional season with the Indonesia Warriors.
12	A21	DAVE MARCELO	He looks like a marquee guy and this is what Air21 wants him to become.
13	BME	GARVO LANETE	While B-Meg is stacked with guards, the Llamados could use Lanete as trade bait.
14	A21	AJ MANDANI	The guy looks like a scorer and this is what Air21 desperately needs.
15	POW	ALLAN MANGAHAS	He played well as an all-around guy for Mapua and he could shock everyone.
16	PET	EMMAN MONFORT	Not a good team to land on but like Lanete, I can see this pick as trade bait.
17	BME	MARK JEFFRIES	B-Meg is souped up with bigs but I think could still use Jeffries in some capacity.
18	ROS	LESTER ALVAREZ	I can see TY Tang moving to Franz Pumaren’s squad so this spitfire could be a suitable fit.
19	TNT	YOUSEF TAHA	This pick is logical since this team lacks height and no, Gilbert Lao does not count.
20	BME	JORDAN  SANVICTORES	You’ll never know if Tim Cone wants another guard to crack his rotation.

THIRD ROUND
21	A21	JR  CAWALING	His stock has plummeted no thanks to RR Garcia but he is still a Smart-Gilas product.
22	ALA	MACLEAN SABELLINA	Now this guy is a player we need to watch because the guy possesses Rodman-like qualities in his being.
23	BAR	JR  BUENSUCESO	The guy needs furnishing and this could be where he’ll end up if he wants to do a hasty decision.
24	POW	CLAUDE  CUBO	This EAC General is a small version of Ronjay Buenafe and this is a compliment.
25	MER	WOODY  CO	Looked like a star when he started in the UAAP but somehow his stock waned.
26	PET	XXX PASS XXX	Three picks are enough for the Blaze Boosters.
27	ROS	XXX PASS XXX	Yeng Guiao could care less of the remaining players in the draft.
28	GIN	SIMON  ATKINS	He hasn't made a big impact in the UAAP and D-League but as a project, you'll never know.
29	TNT	KARL DEHESA	This could happen especially since he's part of their farm squad.
30	BME	XXX PASS XXX	Same with B-Meg. I just doubt they’ll pass on the second round.

Like I said, all I know is that the names and the order in the list is not final and the reason I’m not posting this elsewhere is because this was created out of boredom.

Check out my real draft notes after the July 7 deadline.

Game over.
