D-League MVP Kevin Alas beats the deadline to join 94 other 2014 PBA Draft hopefuls
Hours before the deadline, Kevin Alas still was not completely sure if he was going to apply for the 2014 PBA Rookie Draft. A late meeting with his agent, however, settled the guard’s decision to turn pro.
“I just want to chase my dream,” said Alas in a text message to Yahoo Philippines.
Alas joins 94 other hopefuls who will join the 2014 PBA Draft scheduled for August 24 at the Robinson’s Place Ermita.
Some of the applicants will surely be picked in the first round of the draft. Names such as Stanley Pringle, Chris Banchero, Matt Rosser, Jake Pascual, Rome Dela Rosa, and Ronald Pascual will surely join Alas in the top part of the selection.
A notable omission in the list is Garvo Lanete of the NLEX Road Warriors who decided to stay in the amateur ranks.
Other interesting names in the list are Team KIA head coach and reigning WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his cousin Rene Pacquiao,
NCAA standouts David and Anthony Semarad, Prince Caperal, Kenneth Ighalo, Dexter Maiquez, Jonathan Semira, and Phillip Paniamogoan all made the deadline for inclusion in the 2014 PBA Draft pool.
UAAP products Clark Bautista, Rodney Brodial, Roider Cabrera, Juami Tiongson, Frank Golla, Jovet Mendoza, and Raul Soyud will also be joining the draft.
The number of applicants in the 2014 PBA Draft is the biggest in history.
San Beda College has the most entrants to the field with seven.
UP graduate Mike Gamboa is the smallest in the field a 5-foot-6 while JRU’s John Allen Montemayor is the tallest at 6-foot-7.
Lester Tyrone Dickens is the lightest at 120 pounds while the heaviest is Kristoffer Louie Alas who doubles up at 240 pounds.
DLSU’s Papot Paredes is the youngest as he was born in 1992. Manny Pacquiao is the oldest as he was born in 1978. At 35 years of age, he could be starting his PBA career at a point when most professional basketball players already choose to retire.
The 2014 PBA Draft Combine will be held at the Hoops Center on August 18 and 19.
