kung may papalitan man dahil lang sana injured lang. parang ang panget naman na iba yung makikinabang dun sa pinaghirapan ng gilas ngayon. tapos iba lang yung ipapadala.

i think the current line up is good enough for a decent outing in spain...i just wish though, that our guys are 3-4 inches taller especially in positions 1 and 2 ....just imagine what a 6'1 - 6'3 jason castro and a 6'5 - 6'6 jeff chan can do..

A similarly excellent 3-point shooter should replace El Granada or the Baby-Faced Assasin. Maybe JayWash or Joe DeVance- madepensa at malaki pa. As for Japeth, I alao think he should stay.

 

I agree on the news item wherein Team Gilas is encouraged to focus more on the Asian Games. The point is to maximize the World Championships experience and use it to ensure that we will win the "gold medal" in the Asiad.

+1 HERE!!!

And both can play multiple positions, and can defend big guys, and can bring down the ball as well...

Looks like Jeff Chan is Gilas' most consistent and dependable shooter...

[RED2018]

Coach Chot named the magic 17; retained the 0riginal 12, added Belga, Slaughter, Lassiter, Paul Lee, and Dillinger. Kuya Marcus may be replaced by whoever is naturalized. Their tour of duty will be until Asian Games

[Viao_Win8]

Retaining the original 12 and adding five to the pool of players should be the way to go so that chemistry would not be disrupted and, at the same time, this gives the coach flexibility to choose from a variety of players whom he thinks should replace players from the original 12. It's a surprise that James Yap wasn't chosen to be among the 5 additional players.

 

 

 

james yap is big no no

buti na lang di siya kasama

completo na ang perimeter shooters ng team kasi

[lovejones]

I love the 17-man pool. It gives Chot a lot of choices so he can make a team that is versatile enough to adjust to different playing styles.

 

King ako lang, I'll make the following selection for the final 12:

 

Center - Blatche (or Douthit), Slaughter, Fajardo

Gregzilla and the Kraken can be our team's back up centers without surrendering any height. Besides, these two Visayan giants play differently and offer different looks.

 

Power Forwards - Aguilar, De Ocampo, Pingris

Again, 3 guys who provide different skillsets. We can either play fast and rugged (Ping), long (3 pt sniping from Ranidel), or match others height-wise (Japeth).

 

Small Forwards - Norwood & Dillinger

They are fast, tall, and they play tenacious d. Add to the fact that both can slide down to the point guard position in emergency cases make both of them our ideal wingmen.

 

Tiradors - Lassiter & Chan

Because they are extremely good shooters. Period.

 

Point Guards - Lee & Castro

One is bulky but shifty. The other one is smaller but zooms like someone with a jetpack. Two different looks but they have one thing in common - both can slash really well which is ideal for Chot's dribble drive offense.

barroca malaking tulong yan sa team. tapang maglaro

Ok na din ako sa line-up na 'to for the FIBA World Championship... though for the Asian Games, I think we would need more shooters and quickness...

[thegame08]

How is James Yap a big no no? He is still one of the deadliest shooters in the league.

 

Ganito lang 'yan, si James Yap parang si Danny Ildefonso din noon, magaling sa PBA pero pagdating sa international competition walang binatbat

[thegame08]

Hindi na dapat pa isama si Blatche, late na para pa masama siya, alam naman nating ang bureaucracy dito sa Pinas, though tingin ko maaring madaliin ng mga "honorable congressmen" natin ang naturalization process ni Blatche to get "pogi points" sa Pinoy basketball fans. Meron na silang Douhit at back-up in Slaughter at Fajardo. Ewan ko kung magagawa ni Pingris sa FIBA Wold Cup ang ginagawa niya sa PBA

Yap averaged 9.6 ppg during the 2009 FIBA-Asia. He actually declined an invitation to play with Smart-Gilas. Walang binatbat is relative. With Chot Reyes' system, I believe he could shine. He is, after all, a two-time MVP so he should be given a chance for a spot with Smart-Gilas.

 

Compare his stats with lassiter and lutz during the 2010 stankovic cup and of course the 2011 fiba asia champions cup where we placed 4th overall...i dont think 9.6 is eye catching for the so called " one of the deadliest shooter in OUR league"...lets face it ...there are some high profile or star player in "OUR " league i.e arwind yap david miller caguioa who are not ...lets just say their talent isnt suitable for international competition...

I would rather pick a PJ simon over yap ....

I think the current pool is enough... they already have a good mix of bigs, guards, wingmen and shooters... trimming the team down to 12 is the big challenge for coach Chot.
