PBA Draft: Beermen eye best talent available at No. 9
San Miguel Beer is prioritizing selecting the best available talent in the upcoming PBA Annual Rookie Draft, rather than targeting a specific player, due to their ninth-round pick and a loaded roster.
Coach Leo Austria indicated that the team has not yet identified a particular player to draft, anticipating that top prospects will likely be chosen before their turn.
The Beermen's strategy is to select the highest-rated player available at the ninth pick, as they are confident in their current roster after winning their 30th championship.
Austria also mentioned that the team has no available trade assets and wishes to reward the players who contributed to their recent title win.
Preparation for the next season, including the Philippine Cup scheduled for October 5, has already begun for San Miguel Beer.
