Number of Rounds
Starting in the 2005 draft, the league has limited the draft into two rounds, with all undrafted players will become free agents; prior to 2005, drafting goes on until all the teams have passed. However, on the 2011 PBA Draft, the league allowed the draft to continue until all teams have passed. The two-round restriction of the draft was attributed to an agreement between the PBA and the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), which also included a development fee to the PBL team from which the player was drafted. This was removed in 2011 as the PBL had not held a tournament since 2010, and amateur players played in the PBA D-League instead.

“Again, the great number of cultivated men keep each other up to a high standard. The habit of meeting well-read and knowing men teaches the art of omission and selection.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In view of the fact that the number of people living too long has risen catastrophically and still continues to rise.... Question: Must we live as long as modern medicine enables us to?... We control our entry into life, it is time we began to control our exit.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
