ThePBA season 47 draft was the 37th edition of thePBA draft. The event allowed teams to take turnsselecting amateur basketball players and other eligible players, including half-Filipino foreign players. The league determined the drafting order based on the performance of the member teams from the2021 season, with the worst team picking first.
In past drafts until 2019, the draft order was determined based on the team's overall performance from the previous season. The Philippine Cup final ranking comprised 40% of the points, while the Commissioner's and Governors' Cup rankings were 30% each.
Since the league only held two tournaments for the2021 season, only the final rankings of the Philippine Cup (60%) and Governors' Cup (40%) were used to determine the draft order.[1]
