The 2011 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event at which teams drafted players from the amateur ranks. The event was held at Robinson's Place Ermita in Manila on August 28, 2011. ^[1] Players who applied for the draft underwent a rookie camp that lasted a week.

Draft lottery

The lottery was held on August 6, 2011, before the start of the 2011 PBA Governors Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The Powerade Tigers beat the statistical odds by winning the first overall pick against the Air21 Express (renamed as Barako Bull Energy starting the 2011-12 season). ^[2] From this year on, as opposed in having the draft last two rounds as what was done from 2005 to 2010, the league allowed the draft to continue until all teams have passed. ^[3]
