Scouting Report:
Araña was an object of desire by several PBA teams, among them Purefoods, Alaska, Air21 and even Red Bull but Welcoat was quicker to the draw utilizing their second round pick on the ex-De la Salle standout… Araña is a double-barreled threat, he is often tasked to defend against the opposing team’s big guns but can also be a factor on the offensive end… he once scored 38 points in a PBL game… he may be the second coming of former Purefoods and Shell guard Glenn Capacio… Capacio was a many-time All-Defensive Team member during his heydays and Araña could follow suit… he has a great understanding of the game – he can shoot from the outside, and manufacture his own shot when penetrating inside the lane… he is one of few players in the draft that has potential to contribute right away on a team and could even be a starter for the Dragons next season.
