/ 07:05 PM October 06, 2016

After struggling to make a splash in the past conference, Blackwater gets the top pick in the 2016 PBA Rookie Draft.

The Elite advanced for the first time in the playoffs after making it to the quarterfinals in the Philippine Cup, but could not recapture their thunder in the import-laden conferences behind the leadership of Carlo Lastimosa and rookie Art dela Cruz.

Phoenix, meanwhile, will be selecting second, getting the rights of the pick from Star.
