84 named filed their application to the PBA Draft (of course, the league will whittle that down after vetting the list).
Time to figure out who these are, based on how I remember them / after doing minimal research.
Part II - The Forwards.
The list has 16 players listed as forwards. It does not have the cache like Raymond, Greg or Ian, but a solid group.
Leading the cast is Nico Salva and Eric Camson, two UAAP standouts who became teammates at NLEX. Camson's teammate with the Falcons, Alex Nuyles, is a standout small forward and will be a late first-rounder to an early second round selection.
A key asset in Blackwater's run to their inaugural title, Robby Celiz could be a possibility in the 2nd round.
Then we have a couple of JRU Bombers alumni in John Lopez and Jeckster Apinan, both of whom managed to average close to 10 rebounds a game in the NCAA at one point. Another solid player would be Dave Najorda.
Meanwhile, while we recognize the rise of the Perpetual Altas now, Raffy Ynion carried them back in their dark ages. Although undersized, he was their best player on the floor.
A couple of notable collegiate names that lost their luster are also in the draft in Joshua Webb and Paul Sanga. One might say that in Webb's case, it was more high school than college.
