Welcoat has lock on top rookie draftee
By Nelson Beltran
philstar.com

MACAU – No way Welcoat will deal away its right for the No. 1 pick overall in the 2008 Annual Draft.

Welcoat co-owners Raymund Yu and Terry Que stressed this yesterday with at least two teams still trying to work a trade deal involving the draft right a few days before the staging of the draft exercise Sunday at the Market! Market! Place in Taguig.

“It’s ours and it’s not for sale,” said Que, in an overseas phone interview with The STAR.

“They’ve been trying to get the pick as early as two months ago. If we’re to part with it, we’d have done that earlier, not now with three days to go before draft day,” said Yu.

Talk n Text and the San Miguel group have been persistent in their bids to acquire the pick, which could be used on prized Fil-Am player Gabe Norwood.

Ricky Vargas of Talk n Text and Robert Non of SMC apparently both made a final trade offer but Welcoat’s Mamerto Mondragon declined on the sidelines of the PBA board annual meeting here.

Mondragon, the Welcoat governor, stressed the Welcoat stand on the No. 1 pick as he left Macau ahead of the group Wednesday to drop by Hong Kong before returning to Manila.

“He didn’t relay the offer to us. He didn’t need to because he already knew we’re keeping the draft right,” said Que.

Sources said Norwood, a Philippine passport holder who has played for the RP team in two international tourneys, is to get his Bureau of Immigration confirmation and Department of Justice affirmation today making him eligible for the draft.

Talk n Text coach Chot Reyes is interested on both Norwood and Jared Dillinger – his discoveries from the US NCAA when he’s still coaching the RP team. However, he can only draft one using their right on the No. 2 pick.

Solomon Mercado, another Fil-Am, and Jayson Castro are the other highly touted players in this year’s draft pool.

Other noted talents include Jeff Chan, Jonathan Fernandez, Beau Belga, Rob Reyes, TY Tang, Mark Borboran, Kelvin Gregorio, Cholo Villanueva, NCAA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Kelvin dela Peña, Kelvin Delafu, Pong Escobal, Larry Rodriguez, Patrick Cabahug, Christian Espiritu, Lawrence Bonus, Chris Viardo and Charles Waters.

Completing the 47-man list are Ryan Regalado, Mark Anthony Cuevas, Andrew Catigan, Diomar Facum, Michael Dizon, Ismael Junio, Christian Reyes, Angelus Raymundo, Eian Yu, Dennis Concha, Frankly Nailon, Michael Gonzales, Mark Yee, Rene Cunanan, Eder Saldua, Nestor David, Earn Saguindel, Nizar Kiram, Ferdinand Melocoton, Juan Luis Abad, Christian Cabatu, Nathaniel Cruz, Lei Mar Navarro, Jan Coching, Michael Olino, Chito Jaime and Ricky Natividad.

The names of Norwood, Dillinger, Viardo and Waters have asterisk, pending the completion of their documents.

Magnolia owns the No. 3 pick, followed by Talk n Text, Alaska, Air21, Purefoods, Ginebra and Sta. Lucia to complete the first round.

hanep pala ang TnT kung sakalaing pumayag ang WD na ipamigay ang 1st pick sa draft. imagine, 1st & 2nd mapupunta sa TnT and yung parehong FilAm ang sure picks nila. pero syempre di papayag ang SMB dyan.

-----

Last conference pa nga tinatrabaho ni Chot na makuha si Dondon para mapunta sa team ng TNT..kaya lang parang di pa willing bitawan ng SMC si Dondon.isa pang gustong gustong kunin ni Chot eh si Hugnatan..gusto nga niya ipalit si Jwash para kay Reynel..kaya lang malabo na yun..favorite niya si Reynel nung coach pa siya ng Coke eh..

Norwood or nothing for Rain or Shine
By: Zean Macamay

RAIN or Shine has long thought and decided that Gabe Norwood is the player it wants and needs.

The team that will pick No. 1 in the PBA Annual Draft on Sunday has remained firm that it will keep Norwood for good and perhaps make him the cornerstone of the franchise in the near future, closing the door on any trade offers that has reportedly come from two giant ball clubs.

“It’s our pick, he’s not for sale,” said Terry Que, co-owner of Rain or Shine, formerly Welcoat.

If everything goes well for Norwood in today’s deadline for Fil-foreign applicants, the Elasto Painters will have in their fold a player polished by international competitions and one could transform Rain or Shine from also-rans into contenders.

“Kung ibibigay namin si Norwood, dapat nuon pa naisip na namin,” said Que.

Norwood is reportedly being sought by Talk ‘N Text and by the San Miguel group of teams. Rain or Shine, however, has emphatically already closed the door on trade talks.

Obviously, Phone Pals coach Chot Reyes is the man seeking the services of Norwood, having mentored him while Norwood played in the national team in the FIBA Asia Qualifying Championships in Tokushima, Japan last year.

The only problem Rain or Shine has at this moment is whether Norwood will be able to beat the deadline at 12 noon today set by the PBA. Norwood has yet to submit any of the two documents the league requires.

Norwood will have to present a Department of Justice (DoJ) certificate of affirmation and a certificate coming from the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation. A reliable source, however, said that the documents are already processed and will be submitted today at the PBA office.

Another Fil-foreign — Jared Dillinger — has yet to complete his documents. Dillinger, a Fil-German who is expected to be picked No. 2 by Talk ‘N Text, still has to submit his DoJ affirmation papers.

The list of 47 applicants, however, is expected to be trimmed down once the Commissioner’s Office has completely screened the requirements submitted by all prospective rookies just before Draft Day.

Of the four Fil-foreign bred players, Norwood, the 6-foot-5 guard out of George Mason University who played for the national team in three international tournaments last year, and Dillinger are considered among this year’s first round draftees.

The Phone Pals will also pick no. 4 followed by Alaska (5), Air21 (6), Purefoods (7), Air21 (8), Barangay Ginebra (9) and Sta. Lucia (10).

Other noted talents out of this year’s rookie batch include former national players Jeff Chan, Jonathan Fernandez, Beau Belga, Rob Reyes, TY Tang, Mark Borboran, Kelvin Gregorio, Cholo Villanueva, NCAA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Kelvin dela Pena, Kelvin Delafu, Pong Escobal, Larry Rodriguez, Patrick Cabahug, Christian Espiritu and Lawrence Bonus.

Majority of the applicants saw action in the traditional Rookie Camp held at the Emilio Aguinaldo College gym last August 22-23.

Completing the 47-man list approved so far by the Commissioner’s Office are Ryan Regalado, Mark Anthony Cuevas, Andrew Catigan, Diomar Facum, Michael Dizon, Ismael Junio, Christian Reyes, Angelus Raymundo, Eian Yu, Dennis Concha, Frankly Nailon, Michael Gonzales, Mark Yee, Rene Cunanan, Eder Saldua, Nestor David, Earn Saguindel, Nizar Kiram, Ferdinand Melocoton, Juan Luis Abad, Christian Cabatu, Nathaniel Cruz, Lei Mar Navarro, Jan Coching, Michael Olino, Chito Jaime and Ricky Natividad.

No takers so far for Phone Pals Carey, Washington
BY NOLI CORTEZ

MACAU — Unless some teams take a nibble at a pair of baits Talk N Text has dangled, the Phone Pals will be forced to make hard decisions before the next PBA season starts in October.
With the PBA Board members heading back home Thursday after finishing their directional meeting here Wednesday, the Phone Pals still have to find any takers for forwards Jay Washington and Harvey Carey who are on the trading block.
The Phone Pals are hard-pressed to unload at least one of the five Fil-Ams in their roster before they can tab US-born Jared Dillinger in the PBA Rookie Draft on Sunday at the Market! Market! in Taguig.
