MANILA, Philippines – The San Miguel Beermen might add yet another talented player to their already stacked roster. 

InterAksyon reported that Kia Picanto has agreed to trade the No.1 pick in this year’s PBA Draft to San Miguel for Jay-R Reyes, Rashawn McCarthy together with either Keith Agovida or the Beermen’s own first round pick which is expected to be the No. 12 overall pick.

If ever the trade is approved, San Miguel will have the chance to choose from Gilas standouts Christian Standhardinger and Kiefer Ravena who are projected to be the top two picks this year.

Either Standhardinger or Ravena will provide a big boost for the Beermen which finished this season just short of their grand slam bid.

San Miguel won the Philippine Cup and the Commissioner’s Cup and has 4 players in the First Mythical Team this year, spearheaded by 4-time MVP June Mar Fajardo.  

This is the second time in the Kia’s 3-year existence in the league that it traded its first round draft pick. The Picanto traded Troy Rosario, the second overall pick in the 2015 PBA Draft, to the TNT KaTropa. – Rappler.com
