The Sta. Lucia Realtors, a Realty firm who had a basketball team that won two titles in the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), formalized its entry to the pro league by taking over the defunct Presto franchise. The new ballclub absorbed five players from Presto namely Gerry Esplana, Bong Hawkins, Peter Jao, Vergel Meneses and Zaldy Realubit. The Realtors got the biggest catch in the amateur draft, choosing multi-titled national team player Zandro "Jun" Limpot from De La Salle in the UAAP and Magnolia in the PBL as the number one overall pick. They also acquired another national team member Boyet Fernandez, who played for the ballclub in the amateurs but was originally picked by Swift in the annual draft.
