Draft order

The draft order was determined based on the overall performance of the teams from the previous season. The Philippine Cup final ranking comprises 40% of the points, while the rankings of the Commissioner's and Governors' Cups are 25% each. The order for teams picking 9th to 12th was determined by their positions after the Governors' Cup regular round. NorthPort and Rain or Shine swapped places during the draft.

Special draft

There was a separate draft for the players in the pool for the Philippine national team, better known as Gilas Pilipinas. The five teams held their rights to the players they selected only after their release from international duty. [2]

As part of the agreement between the PBA and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the latter named 5 players being loaned to Gilas's training camp after their selection in this special draft. The draft order was identical to the first five picks in the regular first and second rounds. [2]
