The 2019 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) rookie draft was an event that allows teams to take turns selecting amateur basketball players and other eligible players, including half-Filipino foreign players. The league determined the drafting order based on the performance of two-thirds of the member teams from the 2019 season, with the worst team picking first.

Draft order

The draft order was determined based on 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 25% each. The order for teams picking 9th to 12th was determined by their positions after the Governors' Cup regular round. NorthPort and Rain or Shine swapped places during the draft.
