Ross completes PBA draft requirements
Christopher Ross, the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) Most Valuable Player led six other Filipino-foreign applicants who completed their requirements for the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Rookie Draft.
The draft is set on August 2 at the Market! Market! in Taguig City.
Others who have submitted complete documents were Chris Timberlake, Josh Urbiztondo, PJ Walsham, Charles Waters, Lance Convento and Kevin White, nephew of Talk ’N Text guard Jimmy Alapag.
According to PBA operations chief Rickie Santos, the documents will still be scrutinized by the league’s lawyers and of the teams’. If the league finds their papers authentic and no team questions their eligibility, then they are available for the draft.
The Filipino-foreigners are required to submit documents proving their Filipino lineage, an affirmation from the Department of Justice and a certificate of recognition from the Bureau of Immigration.
Those who are still completing the requirements are Josh Vanlangdingham, Ramsey Williams, Terrell Theopile and Christopher Viado.
The six-foot-one Ross, who played college ball at Marshall University, is a shoo-in for the first round top picks with Purefoods Tender Juicy and Burger King showing interest on the athletic guard.
Ross averaged 7.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game with the Thundering Herd in the 2006-07 season. He played for Pharex in the PBL where he led the team to its first finals appearance.
Timberlake is another notable guard who played three years with North Florida. The five-foot-11 playmaker suited up for Oracle Titans in the PBL.
The six-foot-five Walsham was part of the La Salle squad that won the University Athletic Association of the Philippines title in 2007.
Japeth to apply for draft
SPORTING CHANCE By Joaquin M. Henson

Former Ateneo and Western Kentucky center Japeth Aguilar is filing an application to join the PBA draft on Aug. 2 and that’s final.
Aguilar was supposed to decide whether or not to turn pro after coming home from the Jones Cup in Taipei but a highly placed source revealed the other day he had already made up his mind.
With the issue settled, there’s no doubt Aguilar will be the PBA’s first overall draft this year, following in the footsteps of Gabe Norwood (200, Joe DeVance (2007), Kelly Williams (2006), Jay Washington (2005), Rich Alvarez (2004), Mike Cortez (2003) and Yancy de Ocampo (2002).
Burger King coach Yeng Guiao has openly admitted his intention of drafting Aguilar with the first overall pick. That would leave Rico Maierhofer as the logical choice for No. 2.
But in a recent twist, a rumor has floated that Talk ‘N’ Text is dead set to enlist Aguilar. To make it happen, the Tropang Texters must acquire Burger King’s drafting rights. Since there are common shareholders between the two franchises, any deal involving Talk ‘N’ Text and Burger King must pass through the Board, meaning it will require consent of the other member teams.
The scuttlebutt is Talk ‘N’ Text hopes to sign up Aguilar both for its PBA team and the Smart-Gilas developmental squad coached by Serbian Rajko Toroman. A PBA approval will be necessary for a regular PBA cager to play for a non-PBA team but since the “outside” team is the developmental squad, it should be no problem to allow Aguilar the best of both worlds.
