Notes

  • Victor Pablo, the second overall pick, was later traded by Ginebra to Seven Up, in exchange for center Manny Victorino, when Pablo held up in contract negotiations.
  • The Draft reached the seventh round with Swift Mighty Meaties choosing three more players including an EARIST cager Eugenio Reyes.
  • Purefoods' pick Victor Villarias' elder brother Vernie was a first-round pick by the Hotdogs two years earlier; this was the only instance in Purefoods' history that brothers were selected in the two separate drafts.
