Air21 Express draft history

The Air21 Express first participated in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) draft as the Shopinas.com Clickers on August 28, 2011, one month before their first PBA season. The Clickers bought the original franchise of the Barako Bull Energy Boosters in 2011 when Barako Bull filed for leave of absence after the 2010-11 PBA Philippine Cup and eventually disbanded after the season ended. Shopinas.com received the rights for all of the Barako Bull's players and draftees. As an incentive of being a new franchise, the PBA Board of Governors gave Shopinas.com the 11th overall pick (first in the second round).[1]

Mark Barocca became the team's first draft choice, the 5th pick in the 2011 PBA Draft. Barocca was later traded to the B-Meg Llamados, just two days after he was drafted.[2]

The team was renamed as the Air21 Express after the 2011-12 PBA Philippine Cup.

gollark: And gives the compiler and builtins a lot of powers not given to us mere *users*.
gollark: Go just generally is actively hostile to abstraction.
gollark: lol no generics may be a meme, but it's also true - Go has no generics apart from compiler-magic maps/channels/arrays and possibly some other thing.
gollark: But seriously, in Go you literally cannot write `Math.max` without either using `interface{}` (effectively, dropping the type system) or probably some horrible interface hax, because lol no generics.
