The Draft reached the seventh round with Swift Mighty Meaties choosing three more players including an EARIST cager Eugenio Reyes.
Purefoods' pick Victor Villarias' elder brother Vernie was a first-round pick by the Hotdogs two years earlier; this was the only instance in Purefoods' history that brothers were selected in the two separate drafts.
