It’s still not certain if the PBA will adjust the requirement of Fil-foreigners to play at least 14 games in the PBA D-League before gaining eligibility to apply for the PBA draft. There will be only one D-League conference this season so Fil-foreigners intending to join the draft must play in the coming tournament if they haven’t seen action in the D-League yet. For locals to be eligible for the PBA draft, they must play at least seven games in the D-League. In the recent D-League draft, a record 61 players of 151 applicants were picked over 20 rounds. Fil-Am Jason Brickman attempted to join the PBA draft last year but was underage to gain eligibility without going through the D-League.
