PBA aspirants take one step closer in achieving their dreams as they participate in the 2016 PBA Draft Combine this week.

The two-day camp, which will be held at Gatorade Hoops Center in Mandaluyong starting on Wednesday, will wage all the hopefuls against each other as they try to make an impression in front of PBA coaches and scouts.

The 55 applicants will be divided into eight teams, composed of six to seven players, for the combine.
