MANILA -- Terrafirma has yet to decide on the No. 1 pick in Sunday's PBA Rookie Draft.
This, according to new head coach Ronald Tubid, who spoke publicly for the first time since his appointment to the position by the Dyip.
Tubid was among the coaches and team officials present at Day 1 of the PBA Draft Combine in Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
"I'm here to scout the best available talents for the draft. For now, undecided parin. Pero going there na diretso na kung sino dito ang mapipili. Pinag-uusapan na namin ng coaching staff saka ng management," he told reporters.

Terrafirma will have the all-important first pick in the draft which has 128 rookie aspirants. When asked if they already have a rundown of players, Tubid did not drop names.
"We have a list na pero hindi pa 100% kasi what if ganito, ganyan? Maraming tanong eh. Pero meron na kaming pinagpipilian for number one," he said.
"As of now hindi muna sasabihin kasi surprise," Tubid added.
The Terrafirma head coach said they still have about seven players who have active contracts with the team from where they can bank on.
"Depende na yun sa management namin. Kasi may ano naman kami sa draft at even sa free agency," Tubid said.
