The 1993 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event at which teams drafted players from the amateur ranks. It was held on January 17, 1993 at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Manila Peninsula.
The 2011 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event at which teams drafted players from the amateur ranks. The event was held at Robinson's Place Ermita in Manila on August 28, 2011. Players who applied for the draft underwent a rookie camp that lasted a week.
The lottery was held on August 6, 2011 before the start of the 2011 PBA Governors Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The Powerade Tigers beat the statistical odds by winning the first overall pick against the Air21 Express (renamed as Barako Bull Energy starting the 2011-12 season). This year, as opposed in having the draft last two rounds as what was done from 2005 to 2010, the league will allow the draft to continue until all teams have passed.
Note: Powerade, Barako Bull, Meralco, Rain or Shine, B-Meg, Alaska, Barangay Ginebra and Talk 'N Text passed in this round.
Note: Shopinas.com passed in this round.
The 1991 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event at which teams drafted players from the amateur ranks. The annual rookie draft was held on January 15, 1991 at The ULTRA.
The 2012 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event held at Robinson's Midtown Mall in Ermita, Manila on August 19, 2012 which allowed PBA teams to draft players from the amateur ranks.
The lottery determined the team that will obtain the first pick on the draft. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their cumulative win-loss record in the previous season, with records from the Philippine Cup having heavier weight.
The lottery was held on July 22, 2012 during halftime of Game 1 of the 2012 PBA Governors Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The Air21 Express won the rights to the first overall selection against the Alaska Aces, but due to a previous transaction, the draft rights of Air21 went to the Petron Blaze Boosters.
Note: This is the natural drafting order.
Note: Air21, Alaska, Petron Blaze, and Talk 'N Text passed in this round.

Dancing days are back
Feeling all in the track an' in fact
For those knowing the name
I'm back with some brand new crack
You can do it like that
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up, lookin' tough, but so phony
You and your boys, you don't know me
You really wanna hold me?
Show me, homie
Tough talk doesn't mean a thing
