POTENTIAL top pick Justine Baltazar has decided to sit out the upcoming PBA Rookie Draft and is staying put in La Salle.
The 6-foot-8 Kapampangan, who is unquestionably the best center in college today, told
Spin.ph of his decision as the deadline for the submission of applications counted down its last hours on Wednesday. Hindi muna po ako sasali sa draft, he said.
Baltazar, who hails from Mabalacat, Pampanga, is one of the most sought after names in the amateur ranks, with some believing that he could be picked first in this year s class if he won t be tapped in the planned special Gilas Pilipinas round.
