EVE of the 2020 PBA Rookie Draft. All mock drafts have been put out. Suddenly Terrafirma coach Johnedel Cardel came out with an ambiguous statement that basically says that contrary to popular belief, the Dyip aren't completely settled on making Joshua Munzon the No. 1 overall pick on Sunday.
Just like that, all the mock drafts came in danger of being thrown out the window as the pieces begin to crumble from the top down.
The doubt has been cast. And it's not without basis. Did the pre-draft noise around Fil-Am guard Mikey Williams - or TnT's late move to get the No. 4 pick from sister team NLEX -change the mind of whoever makes the decisions for Terrafirma?

NEW YORK — Kevin Durant will be out through the All-Star break because of a hamstring injury, sidelining the Brooklyn Nets star from a game for which he was chosen to serve as a captain.
The Nets said on Friday (Saturday, Manila time) that after a routine follow-up MRI on Durant's left hamstring, it was determined that he needed additional recovery time.
Durant has missed Brooklyn's last six games. The Nets, who have won eight straight, have three more games before the break.
Durant, in his first season back after recovering from surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, was the leading vote-getter in the Eastern Conference. That made him a captain of one of the teams in the March 7 All-Star Game, and he's scheduled to select a team opposite LeBron James next Thursday.
