2016 PBA draft

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 are 30% each.

* - Phoenix's previous franchisee competed as the Barako Bull Energy during the Philippine Cup

There was a separate draft for the players in the Gilas pool. The draft rights for the special draft could not be traded. The drafted Gilas players were not allowed to be traded for two years. All players were allowed to play for the teams that drafted them but were pulled out two months before an official FIBA tournament.

As part of the agreement between the PBA and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, all 12 teams released one player from their roster to the Gilas pool, in addition to the player that they selected in this special draft.[http://www.foxsportsasia.com/pba/news/detail/item535243/belo-ferrer-head-list-gilas-players-special-draft-pba-sbp-renew-ties/ Belo, Ferrer head list of Gilas players in special draft as PBA-SBP renew ties] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161024091833/http://www.foxsportsasia.com/pba/news/detail/item535243/belo-ferrer-head-list-gilas-players-special-draft-pba-sbp-renew-ties/ |date=October 24, 2016 }}, Jason Mercene, Fox Sports Asia, October 19, 2016

The draft order was supposed to be announced on October 27.[http://pba.inquirer.net/77704/pba-bulletin PBA BULLETIN RE: Gilas Pool], PBA.inquirer.net, October 24, 2016 However, the PBA board agreed that instead of determining the order for the special draft, representatives from the 12 ballclubs agreed to farm out one cadet player per team that was distributed to each team by the board. The results of the consensus was not released during that day and the PBA opted to reveal the results on draft night before the regular draft began.[http://m.spin.ph/basketball/news/pba-board-distributes-gilas-cadets-to-12-teams-but-wont-reveal-results-until-sunday PBA board distributes Gilas cadets to 12 teams, but won't reveal results until Sunday], Gerry Ramos, spin.ph, October 27, 2016
