TerraFirma Gets No. 1 Pick in PBA Rookie Draft

TerraFirma Dyip owns the top-overall selection in the upcoming PBA Rookie Draft following its last place finish at the end of eliminations of the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup.

Dyip, in fact, were tied with the NorthPort Batang Pier at the 11th to 12th place with 1-10 record but the former occupied the no. 1 selection after it lost to the latter in the eliminations, 107-96.

This will be the fourth straight year that the Columbian Autocar Corporation/Terrafirma Realty Development Corporation gets a first crack on talented rookies entering the league.

Dyip, then still known as the KIA Picanto, owned the no. 1 pick in 2017 but it traded it to the San Miguel Beermen. The pick ended up being Christian Standhardinger, who is now with the Batang Pier.

Dyip once again owned the top-overall selection in 2018, which they used to select Jaymar Perez and anew in 2019 where they got George Isaac Go from the special draft and Roosevelt Adams in the regular draft.

NLEX Road Warriors, on the other hand, occupied the third and fourth pick with the former they acquired from Blackwater Elite in an offseason trade that saw John Paul Erram go to TNT Tropang Giga.

The rest of the eight picks will be determined after the PBA Philippine Cup playoffs round. There was no schedule yet of the PBA Rookie Draft but it could likely be held online.

So far, two players have already expressed their desire to join the rookie selection in Filipino-American guard Jeremiah Gray and former De La Salle University Green Archers big man Jamie Malonzo.
