Me too...i will make this as one of my to do list for this year...im excited to see the future of the philippine RP team. we may try not to put our bets on these kids but being a Filipino die hard fan of basketball, im sure we will.

so can we post here the schedule of the actual games...i love to see gabe norwood teaching real basketball lessons to these kids that may toughen up and be a better baller. hehehe

or jervy cruz crushing whatever interior defense they put on him...let the learning begin...

there's no doubt, RP will lord it over in this tournament. the question here is, what will happen in the asian level?

If what they say is true about Philip Paredes. That he is a 16-year-old 6-6 behemoth then here is a possibility:

He can still grow taller which might make him reach 6'7" - 6'9". Since he'll be playing the 4-5 positions, I bet he can be a promising player in the future; however, I wanna watch him first play his game b4 I jump into anything else.

if he can beat junmar fajardo 1 on 1, he's ok. i think the disparity in age is not that big since fajardo is just 18 or 19 yrs old only.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Gian Chiu was 6'7" when he was 17-years-old. Now he's 6'9" which reminds me, don't worry about GChiu's pt making because it's his defense we need.

Read some good feedback about Pepot Paredes from those who've seen him play thus far. He's only 15 or 16, so he'll likely grow at least an inch more, hopefully even more in the coming years, to 6'7" or 6'8".

JUSTIN CHUA, JUNMAR FAJARDO & PHILIP PAREDES, possibly the future, quality Centers in Philippine basketball.

The good thing about Paredes is that he's got muscles, and not just another tall skinny kid like Jericho de Guzman

we are still in the stage forming the national rp youth team. we already have shortlisted list of players. they are very promising players but lack in height. We don't have 7 footers like some countries do specially china and iran. hopefully this team will do good.

Unfortunately, we still in a "dire" need of a tall player to man the middle. But one thing is good though, the current Philippine youth team coach is the very best right now to handle the job. Good luck to Lebanon too, see you at the next youth asian championship. What are your chances by the way ?
