TWO big men could emerge as the top picks in the 2015 PBA D-League Rookie Draft Tuesday at PBA Cafe in Metrowalk, Pasig.

Racal-KeraMix intends to make La Salle’s Jason Perkins as the No. 1 choice, while AMA Computer looks to select Ateneo’s Alfonso Gotladera second overall.

“We need a big man,” said Racal-KeraMix coach Caloy Garcia, adding that the team sees a gem in Perkins, the hefty Filipino-American who played a key role in the Green Archers’ UAAP title run two years ago.

Although AMA continues to check out other Draft hopefuls, coach Mark Herrera said the 6-6 Gotladera tops his list.

Other potential top picks: Fil-Am Avery Scharer, Ateneo’s Von Pessumal, Far Eastern University’s Richard Escoto, La Salle’s Julian Sargent, Arellano’s Zach Nicholls, Mapua’s CJ Isit, Adamson’s Joseph Nalos, Emilio Aguinaldo College’s Francis Munsayac, Fil-Canadian Taylor Witherell.
