So, BGK wins the draft lottery ...... technically, AIR21 won the draft it since it's a perennial loser.
However, this is Comm. Cheato Salud's PBA where SMCorp controls 3 elite teams and 3 farm teams, thus the 1st overall pick belongs to BGK.
As for the 2nd pick? ...... it should have been GLOBALPORT's, but it's long been guaranteed to an elite team as well in SAN MIG COFFEE.
See how the PBA works ..... it's been that way for many, many years now.

Sangalang or Slaughter for BGK?
It doesn't really matter who BGK picks, since the ball almost always end up with Mark Caguioa.
I've long said that Mark Caguioa is the one who makes and breaks BGK ....... he's all heart and plays hard - yet his style of play was never one to promote ball movement and sharing. To be fair to Caguioa, he has adjusted somewhat, but it's too little too late.
Should BGK pick Sangalang (as what news reports indicate), I can guarantee that SMC's Tim Cone will be the most happiest dude come draft night.
Tim Cone has always pined for a decent traditional big to anchor his triangle ..... someone he can mold to play the role that Poch Juinio and Sonny Thoss played on 13 championships with ALASKA ....... someone with decent post skills, nice stroke and more importantly, tall enough to see the triangle movement and make that pass that gets them the best shot.
Greg Slaughter has been in Tim Cone's crosshairs for years now.
