The 2015 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event which allows teams to draft players from the amateur ranks. The event was held at the Midtown Atrium, Robinsons Place Manila on August 23, 2015. Starting this year, the league abandoned its lottery system after the controversies that surrounded the previous year's draft.[1][2] Instead, the league determined the drafting order based on the performance of the member teams for the 2014–15 season, with the worst team picking first.[3]
Draft order
The draft order was determined based from the overall performance of the teams from the previous season. The Philippine Cup final ranking comprises 40% of the points, while the rankings of the Commissioner's and Governors' Cups will comprise 30% each.
