Alaska choice of Ryan Buenafe raises eyebrows in 2013 PBA Draft
Alaska made a splash in the first round of the PBA draft by selecting Ryan Buenafe with the eighth overall pick.
It was a reach for the Aces as Buenafe was not projected to go until middle of the second round. Coming into the draft, players such as Nico Salva, Alex Nuyles and Jeric Teng were expected to go in the first round ahead of Buenafe.
“I didn’t expect I will be their first choice in the draft. I will prove to them na hindi sila nagkamali sa akin,” said Buenafe. “There’s an added pressure, sobra because I was picked ahead of Nuyles, Jeric Teng, hindi ko ini-expect na mas mauuna pa ako sa kanila. But I will prove to my team that they didn’t chose the wrong player.”
