Team Pilipinas Basketball

[junix]

this lineup should give china the ass kicking it deserves:

 

Blatche

Slaughter

Fajardo

Aguilar

Norwood

De Ocampo

Pingris

Abueva

Castro

Romeo

Clarkson

Lassiter

 

if slaughter is ineligible, his spot can be taken by rosario. i still dream that in the near future, all stakeholders will cooperate and give their full support for flag and country.

 

as to the possible suspension if gilas decides to forego playing in the qualifiers...sayang lang talaga kasi naayos na natin yung gusot noon. wag naman sanang maulit ulit na ma-suspend tayo. from 31st place at the start of fiba asia, we are now ranked 24th (?) after placing 2nd in china and we are only a few places away in cracking the top 20 in the world. sana let's not waste what we have achieved.

Kung nagkaisa lang ng interest ang mga ibang PBA owners malamang wala ng tumalo sa atin dito sa Asia

ano ba talaga yung isyu ng smc at hindi nagpahiram ng players?

ano ba talaga yung isyu ng smc at hindi nagpahiram ng players?

 

Syet, the consensus eh dahil business rival si MVP.

[dude_ong]

Jordan clarkson for the qualifiers ok na wala tayong natural point guard besides kay Castro

ang hirap intindihin kasi these guys, while indeed businessmen, have different business interests.

on reserve we can add Jeff Chan, and Troy Rosario. Kobe Paras, Parks and Keiffer on the training pool.

Vargas rues ‘empty’ PBA promises

As of now the problem I see for Gilas if we are going to join the OLYMPIC QUALIFIER for RIO next year is the current PBA schedules. The OLYMPIC QUALIFIER start from July 5-11 2016. During those dates, next year's PBA GOVERNORS CUP still yet to finish it will be I think will be semifinals. Note this year GOVERNORs CUP ended on July 17. That is the main problem is the conflict of schedule and GILAS also need preparations for that. The only good thing I see if we somehow find a way to join is that is JORDAN CLARKSON will be able to play for GILAS(baring he will have approval from FIBA about his eligibility to play for us). He won't have any NBA obligations during those dates as NBA season will be over and training camp won't start yet.

 

not to mention the Olympics in August, if ever we qualify!

Lee is a better choice than Romeo because he is a bigger point guard. He is also clutch. There were times that Romeo was playing too much one on one. We need a pointguard who can set up plays. When Castro was in foul trouble, and his shots were not falling in the finals, all I could think was Lee should have been in the team. And since Clarkson and Lee are there, if nagka foul trouble si Castro, we still have one-on-one guys aside from Blatche.

 

Kobe should be there because he is our future cornerstone. Yung ibang team they have 20 year old players already, ang youngest sa atin 23.

 

Pingris is small for a forward position, and maybe rosario can take his place because Rosario has an outside shot. We really need shooters from the outside. Chan again is too small. At the SF position, Norwood is best because of his defense and decent 3 point shots. He can also bring the ball up. We need 3 and D guys. How I wish Parks has a consistent 3 and maybe he can be considered as an SF sa gilas.

 

Again my line up is:

 

C - Fajardo, Slaughter

PF - Blatche, De Ocampo, Aguilar

SF - Norwood, Abueva, Rosario (or Pingris)

SG - Clarkson, Lassiter

PG - Castro, Lee

 

Reserve: Romeo, Paras. IMHO, Ravena is too small, he is not as fast and explosive as Romeo. He may not be cut out for international games because of his size. Si Parks naman has the size but he has inconsistent outside shot.

 

My 2 cents, we have to participate in the FIBA qualifiers para madevelop ang teamwork and familiarity. And maybe, given sufficient time to prepare, we can get an olympic slot.

agree paras, ravena, parks, teng, rosarìo, belo will be the future of gilas pilipinas.

Yup..agree na agree...one of the better lineup we will ever have..

 

Chan and lassiter should be a shoo-in until we can find a better shooter than those two...

 

Romeo..pag magmature and plays intelligently...he will be like castro...faster and younger version...ganyan din si castro nun 2013 fiba asia...tenorio and lee had their time...parang tatak na ng pinas ang mabibilis na PG...kaya nga yun ibang teams may mga kasinlaki na PG tulad nina castro...look at china and iran..

And the key word is CADET TRAINING POOL...or reserve pool....mga future players like ravena and co...dapat mafamiliarize na kay coach tab...you can also add...AVO and torres too...

[bongbongman]

Christian David of Canada, I hope he is eligible 6'7 guard, better prospect than Kobe IMO

 

Check out pbadraft.net on some prospects but we still lack a true center, or true stretch 4

I've read a post on facebook na the mother teams are the one preventing players to join Gilas. From the article, un agent ni Paul Lee gusto lagyan ng Gilas clause un contract para pag kelangan ng Gilas/National team makakalaro pero di pumayag un mother team. Same could had happen sa mga SMC players. Amf kasi mga karamihan sa mga mayayaman dito puro politics at power grabbing lang alam eh.
