THREE PBA 3x3 standouts are among those who made themselves available in the coming Rookie Draft.
The Barangay Ginebra duo of Kim Aurin and Raphael Cu together with Wilcon big man Keith Datu already filed their respective applications for the Sept. 17 proceedings at the Market! Market! Place in Taguig.

Also in the draft list along with the three are former Far Eastern University forward Ken Tuffin and another forward in Raffy Verano of Ateneo.
Aurin and Cu also suited up for the Kings in the last PBA On Tour, playing key minutes as Ginebra was without key players Scottie Thompson, Stanley Pringle, Christian Standhardinger, Japeth Aguilar, and Jamie Malonzo.
A product of Perpetual Help, Aurin initially planned to apply for the draft last year, but deferred turning pro for another year.
This year's draft order will have Terrafirma picking first, followed by Blackwater, Rain or Shine at nos. 3 and 4, Northport, Phoenix, NLEX, Meralco, Converge at nos. 9 and 10, Northport, and Terrafirma.
