Here are my wish list:

 

1) Jordan Clarkson for Matt Ganuelas Rosser

2) Marcio Lassiter for Dondon Hontiveros

3) Japeth Aguilar for JC Intal

4) Junmar Fajardo for Asi Taulava

5) Greg Slaughter for Sonny Thoss

Isn't Greg Slaughter has similar dilemma like that of Mo Tautua?...that he can only play as naturalized, since he had not obtained RP passport in legit/permissible period of time

He's not affected by the ruling if I'm not mistaken because was already previously allowed to suit up for Gilas before that ruling was implemented.

I think for me this is an Ultimate Dream Team for Gilas or should i say Gilas 4.0. kung matuloy ang ganitong line-up. Plus kung pwede nga lang si Tautuaa maglaro as natural filipino, he can replace either Marc Pingris or Ranidel De Ocampo, coz he's big, and he can play Defense and Offense.

 

 

can we just imagine if, aside from these players mentioned, tautua can also play as a natural filipino instead of a naturalized filipino.

So Slaughter was born in Ohio to a Filipina mother (AFAIK, she still held Philippine citizenship at the time Greg was born) and an American father. He never played in any Philippine youth basketball teams and only moved to the Philippines in 2007, 19 years after his birth in 1988. It’s reasonable to assume that Greg never got a Philippine passport prior to that, which means, technically speaking, that his FIBA eligibility will probably be questioned. Yes, folks, Gregzilla, despite finishing college here, playing in the PBA as a local, and playing MANY times for Gilas in international tournaments (none of which was a FIBA Asia Men’s Championship, though), will probably not be allowed to play for Gilas Pilipinas.

 

Aside from Greg Slaughter, other high-level PBA players who, sadly, will probably be ineligible for FIBA Asia are the aforementioned Pringle, Cliff Hodge (even if he played in the SEA Games before), and Joe Devance. From the amateur ranks, guys like Chris Newsome, Moala Tautuaa, and Jason Perkins also probably won’t get clearance to play as locals in FIBA Asia.

bravo pba...maganda naman at nagkaisa na kayo. at least this is a baby step in forming a dream team. with blatche and clarkson on board, plus if we could host one of the 3 qualifiers, we can at least give it a good shot. mahirap pero maganda na ang laban. gilas 4.0 will have the height, speed and shooters to compete.

I just dont dig Ryan Reyes.

 

I prefer Mark Barroca or Dondon Again

is ryan reyes in the wishlist of coach tab? if he is then maybe he was included for defensive purposes. imo though lutz would be a better choice than reyes. pero bahala na si coach tab...he knows what is best for the team.

That's the bottomline...let's just trust Coach Tab!

 

He's definitely up to the task and challenge
