Philippine Basketball Association Draft

Philippine Basketball Association Draft

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Draft is an annual event in the PBA calendar in which teams can acquire new players outside the league which are not free agents in an agreed-upon order.

The draft began on 1985, prior to that, teams recruited rookies on a direct-hire basis. Like in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft, a draft lottery determines which team gets the first overall draft pick, but in a much smaller scale; only the two worst-performing teams in the preceding season participate. The team with the worst record has a 67% chance of clinching the #1 seed while the second-worst only gets a 33% chance.[1] Starting in the 2005 draft, the league has limited the draft into two rounds, with all undrafted players will become free agents;[2] prior to 2005 the drafting goes on until all the teams have passed.

List of first overall picks

Flags indicate the country were the player studied college; all players are Filipinos until proven otherwise, like Sonny Alvarado's case where he fled the country as his citizenship was being questioned.
