Unfortunately, Japeth shot himself in the foot with that showboating dunk in the last game that almost became a serious injury that could have cost him that Gilas spot. If that shoulder injury is not as serious as reported then he may be ok to play in SEABA or perhaps save himself for the next big tournament should we progress.

Speaking of Japeth, I see him taking a significant role for Gilas 5.0 in the SEABA tourney, specially that RDO is no longer part of the national team (maybe at least for the SEABA tournament). He is the most senior big man in the national team right now & the most experienced."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

I wonder who convinced him to try shooting bank shots. Based on my observation, I think he is shooting it at 80% accuracy or something.Dead Lizard.

dito naman sa ibn, we are already considering him as our #1 big man for a while na (except for the JMF apologists). lagi namang shoo-in si japeth sa mga team-A lineups.

Nah, Japeth only played good International basketball this year, he was even not given playing time by your co-Kiwi last year's Olympics qualifier. Kudos to Coach Tim Cone for the transformation of Japeth.. Even Mac Baracael played better than Japeth in 2011 FIBA ASIA, 2013 to 2016 he played behind RDO and Pingris..
