PBA Season 46 draft

The PBA Season 46 draft (originally planned as the 2020 PBA rookie draft) was the 36th edition of the PBA draft. The league determined the drafting order based on the performance of the member teams from the 2020 season, with the team having the worst record picking first.[1] For this draft, the PBA decided to forgo the seven-game requirement to play in the PBA Developmental League (D-League).[2]
