Converge FiberXers have officially acquired the second overall pick in the PBA Draft from Phoenix Fuel Masters, with Phoenix receiving the eighth pick and forward Bryan Santos.

This trade, approved by the PBA, allows Converge to select earlier in the draft, potentially landing a top prospect like Juan Gomez de Liano.

The deal was approved a day after a separate three-team trade involving NorthPort was also greenlit by the league.

In that previous transaction, Phoenix acquired Evan Nelle, Converge secured Larry Muyang, and NorthPort received Jeo Ambohot.

Converge, which reached the quarterfinals in every conference of PBA Season 49, holds the eighth pick, while Phoenix falls to that spot.
