The '''PBA season 47 draft''' was the 37th edition of the [[Philippine Basketball Association draft|PBA draft]]. The event allowed teams to take turns [[Draft (sports)|selecting]] amateur basketball players and other eligible players, including half-Filipino foreign players. The league determined the drafting order based on the performance of the member teams from the [[2021 PBA season|2021 season]], with the worst team picking first.

==Draft order== In past drafts until 2019, the draft order was determined based on the team's overall performance from the previous season. The Philippine Cup final ranking comprised 40% of the points, while the Commissioner's and Governors' Cup rankings were 30% each.

Since the league only held two tournaments for the [[2021 PBA season|2021 season]], only the final rankings of the Philippine Cup (60%) and Governors' Cup (40%) were used to determine the draft order.<ref>{{cite news |title=Blackwater, Converge own prime picks in 2022 PBA draft |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/blackwater-converge-get-prime-picks-in-2022-pba-draft-a2437-20220426 |work=spin.ph |date=April 26, 2022}}</ref>
