Terrafirma selected 6-foot-10 big man Geo Chiu as the first overall pick in the PBA Season 50 Draft.

Chiu, who has international experience playing in Japan's B.League and Taiwan's The Asian Tournament, is expected to bolster the frontline of Terrafirma.

However, Chiu is set to miss the start of the PBA season due to his commitment with the Abra Weavers in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

The MPBL season for the Abra Weavers is expected to run until December if they reach the finals.

Converge acquired the second overall pick and selected guard Juan Gomez de Liaño.

Blackwater chose Fil-Italian playmaker Dalph Panopio at third overall.

Notable second-round picks included Shawn Umali by Terrafirma and Vince Magbuhos by Meralco.
