Joshua Munzon and Santi Santillan spearheaded the 61 of 151 draftees, as they went 1-2 in the 2019 PBA D-League Draft on Tuesday at the PBA Office in Libis.
AMA Online Education took the Fil-Am winger in the pole position of the draft, giving the Titans a marquee talent as they seek to reach the semifinals for the first time in franchise history.

Santillan, meanwhile, has established himself as a serviceable big in his two years with La Salle, something which he will bring to Marinerong Pilipino.
