We&#x27;re actually exploring that. Kung wala naman, we will still draft the second round and we will have a good problem.&quot;</p><div><a class="fr-green" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/7/12/what-ginebra-wants-from-pba-draft-according-to-coach-tim-cone-1202"><strong>READ: What Ginebra wants from PBA Draft, according to coach Tim Cone</strong></a></div><div><a class="fr-green" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/7/13/pba-ginebra-sends-c-stand-pringle-to-terrafirma-for-holt-go-1010"><strong>READ: PBA: Ginebra sends C-Stand, Pringle to Terrafirma for Holt, Go</strong></a></div><p>It seems that Guiao will have a bunch of choices as Rain or Shine recalibrates during the offseason.</p><p>&quot;We will see how they are in practice then we will have to decide. But to me, that&#x27;s going to be a good problem,&quot; he said.</p><p>As expected, Guiao said he would be out there on the lookout for &quot;unpolished gems&quot; come Sunday, just like the recent cases of Adrian Nocum and <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">Jhonard Clarito.</span></p><p>&quot;Tingin ko, baka may matsambahan ulit na Jhonard Clarito diyan, may matsambahan ka ulit Adrian Nocum na parang hindi masyadong napansin, tapos nag-shine. We&#x27;re always looking for that.&quot;</p><p>The seven-time PBA champion coach also went on to discuss the quality of the batch of aspirants.</p><p>&quot;Maganda pa &#x27;yung quality the first two rounds. Kokonti &#x27;yung big men, pero &#x27;yung mga big men may quality rin naman kahit konti sila. Mataas &#x27;yung quality of course led by Justine Baltazar,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Feeling ko rin meron diyan mga parang &#x27;sleepers&#x27; diyan, merong mga siguro unpolished gems na pwede mo pang makuha in the later rounds. If you&#x27;re looking for wing men ang guards, I think this is a good batch to look for wing men and guards,&quot; Guiao added.</p><p>&quot;Pagdating sa guard talent, hindi na mahuhuli nang malaki &#x27;yung grupo na &#x27;to.&quot;</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wYMDvFuHkz8??si=PbSkDV7Ybj6CM1l3&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
