With Air21 sorely lacking in ceiling in the coming PBA wars, Bilog ang Bola readers say that the Express will take the three best big men from college in Sunday's Draft at the Market! Market!


Former UAAP MVP Rabeh Al-Hussaini of Ateneo collected 23 out of 24 votes (95%) to top the week-long survey posted here. 


The six-foot-six slotman is also expected by pundits to be the top pick in the annual selection of rookies.


His Season 72 finals foe, the high-flying Elmer Espiritu, came in second with 14 votes (58%) while Al-Hussaini's frontcourt partner, Nonoy Baclao was third with 13 votes (54%).


While three ex-UAAP stars rounded up the top three vote-getters, former NCAA stalwarts occupied slots four to six.


San Sebastian's prolific scorer Jimbo Aquino got six votes (25%), last season's MVP John Wilson of Jose Rizal University had five (20%) and Letran's sharpshooting RJ Jazul finished with three (12%).


Borgie Hermida (San Beda), Pari Llagas (UE) and Rey Guevarra (Letran) had one vote (4%) each. Arellano's Gio Ciriacruz did not get any vote.


This week's survey would be on which team will top the elimination round of the UAAP.
