MANILA--Converge is not yet done acquiring first round picks from Sunday's PBA Draft.

The league announced on Saturday the approval of the trade sending Kurt Lojera to the FiberXers and Yousef Taha to the Blackwater Bossing.

With this, Converge now has four first rounders in its midst, Lojera, the ninth overall pick in the draft, third pick Jeo Ambohot, fourth pick Justin Arana, and seventh pick Tyrus Hill, which the team acquired from NLEX in exchange for its 2023 first round selection.

Meanwhile, Blackwater got some added ceiling with the arrival of Taha, which will play for his eighth team in his journeyman career since getting drafted in 2012.
