MANILA, Philippines -- The NLEX Road Warriors have acquired Converge's first-round pick for the 2023 PBA Rookie Draft, the team announced on Tuesday.
NLEX will ship Filipino-American forward Tyrus Hill, whom they selected with the seventh overall pick in last Sunday's draft, along with David Murrell to the FiberXers.
The deal has been approved by the PBA Commissioner's Office, per NLEX general manager and head coach Yeng Guiao.
"Wala kasi kaming (first round) pick next year because we already dealt that to Phoenix in the Justin Chua deal," he explained.
