I wonder what could have happen if he is favour by Chot over mark Caguioa and Ren-Ren Ritualo for the FIBA Asia Championship

James Yap is one of my favorite player in the PBA and at age 25 yrs.old, He is probably one of the most successful PBA Player of all time.

Just check his awards, stats and accomplishment in the the 1st 3 years of his proffessional career.

James Yap is lethal in the open court and very dangerous with his jumpshots and devil drives towards the hoop... a cross between Samboy Lim and Allan Caidic... a second MVP award for the Escalante, Negros Occidental native could be in the offing but he must practise consistency and learn to take charge for the Giants.

how about defense?
dude my cousin saw him play in the jones cup and he told me that james yap was grimacing and agonizing under the paint during the bumps and grind of mad rebound scramble againts the bigger arabs. hes having a hard time in the squeeze play in international competitions. to be exact his defense and toughness under the board is quite defective. im talking about the international games perspective. here in the philippines of course he will excell because of so so compititions. but bring him outside the country. i dont know if he can get those kind of stats. my cousins in the states dare me if he can even make it to the roster of the elite us div 1 team or any european ballclub.

[bolabasket]

can he dunk?

yes, with ease...

Bro some of the highly touted Div 1 player from US didn't make it big in the PBA as an import..
I believe he can play or he do have the talent to play there. with his unique style of shooting ( close to Ray Allen where they are releasing the ball on the peak of their jump ) which is hard to block by some players standing same as his height or taller than him. and also his ability to make his own shot when needed. btw, im not a James Yap fanatic im just pointing here that James Yap is not the usual Filipino Player that your cousin is thinking.. he can make it big at any given sunday..
And for the last Jones Cup, its obvious he was not in condition. maybe (one of the reason why he was cut from the final roster).. after coming from some marital issues with his wife its hard to gauge his true arsenal..

[RayV]

Bad performance in Jones Cup? I think he did pretty well in some games such as against Lebanon, Taiwan and especially against Iran where he scored big with 18 points..

I think james yap would be the go-to-guy of the next RP Team...yeah..i believe it was a bad decision for Chot to leave James out of the team the last time around...

Purefoods TJ Giants- 96
Sta. Lucia Realtors- 89

Final Score

Best Player:

James Yap- 29 pts 5 rebs 3/5 3pt FGs



Great Game for both team in the start of the conference and It is a come from behind victory for the TJ Giants lead by James Yap, who scored 29 points and help the TJ Giants to beat the Sta. Lucia Realtors after PJ Simon was thrown out in the game after committing 2 technical fouls in the 2nd half.

Overall the Purefoods TJ Giants are one of the most underrated team this conference but they added some nice acquisition like Rookie Robert Franz, Ardy Larong and 5'10" PG Chico Lanete.

Nice game also from Roger Yap who added 16 points and facilitate Purefoods offense since the start of the ball game.
