Cold-blooded scorers Alvin Pasaol and Arvin Tolentino headline the new batch of aspirants who will test their mettle and join the 2017 PBA D-League Rookie Draft.
The two forwards banner the 201 rookies who have submitted their applications for the developmental league’s annual neophyte selection as they take their first step in reaching their dreams of making it to the pro league.
The 2017 PBA D-League Rookie Draft will be on Dec. 12 at PBA Cafe in Metrowalk, Pasig.
Pasaol turned heads this past UAAP season when he went ablaze and poured 49 points in one game for the University of the East, before continuing his high-scoring ways to be considered as one of the most lethal offensive weapons in the amateur ranks.
Tolentino, on the other hand, rekindled his old flame and became one of the most reliable shooters for Far Eastern University this past year.
But the list of neophytes doesn’t stop there, as other new blood are hoping to be picked and see action this upcoming 2018 PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup, set to start on Janu 18.
Jeo Ambohot of Letran, Abu Tratter of La Salle, Richard Escoto of FEU, and Christian Buñag of Mapua emerge as some of the best young bigs in the rookie pool.
