Top rookie prospects Jason Brickman, Jeremiah Gray, and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser will not make the final list of eligible players for the upcoming PBA Draft.

According to player agent Charlie Dy, the trio failed to beat the deadline set by the PBA on Friday, March 5 for Filipino-foreigners to submit the necessary documents for the draft.

Requirements include documents from the Department of Justice and Bureau of Immigration.

“[T]hey did not make the deadline,” Dy told Rappler.

Four more Filipino-foreigners, according to Spin, missed the chance to be drafted this year due to incomplete papers: Taylor Statham, Tyrus Hill, John Paul Gulfo, and Christopher Cancio.

Gray, Brickman, and Ganuelas-Rosser – who all played for Alab Pilipinas – were touted as potential first-round picks due to their experience and skills.

Brickman is arguably the most battle-tested player in the bunch after seeing action in the United States, Russia, Germany, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The six-foot guard finished his NCAA career for Long Island University Brookly as 1 of the only 4 players in Division 1 history to tally 1,000 assists.

Gray is an athletic 6-foot-6 guard who has shown a lot of upside, while Ganuelas-Rosses is a nimble forward standing at 6-foot-7.

The PBA will release the final draft list on Monday, March 8. – Rappler.com
