Blackwater Bossing draft history

The Blackwater Elite first participated in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Draft on August 24, 2014, two months before their first PBA season. Blackwater entered the league through expansion together with Kia Sorento.

Juami Tiongson became the team's first draft choice, the 12th pick in the 2014 PBA draft. Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser is their first number one draft pick in franchise history.
