Gian Chiu at NCAA Div III

[chokois]

its friday... Gian's first game..

Nope. its not Gian's first game. it will be between Swarthmore College going up against Haverford College.

Gian's first game will be on Nov. 21(wed in Phi, thurs in U.S) against Thomas More College.

In my humble opinion, of the 3 Philippine-Born Cagers playing for some US schools (Japeth, Gian, Jericho), i can see the greatest potential for Gian Chiu.. I dont know but I think Gian will definitely be one of the finest Bballers in the Philippines in the next 4 years or so. :-)

I think not. Gian's priority isn't basketball, his first ambition is to be a doctor. So after 4 years, he will still be in school of medicine and we all know that med school takes away a lot of your time especially when you do your internship in the hospital. so my guess is that Aguilar has the good chance to be one of the greatest player in the Philippines.

gregory slaughter, gian chiu, eman samigue, naturalized player, asi taulava, etc...
whoooo hoooo! big men at last!

You forgot Japeth Aguilar SF/PF...And a BIG MAYBE in a about 2-3years the 6'11 J. DeGuzman. If we can find him...

Oh Take Tualava of that list. He'll be almost 40 in for the 2012 olympics.

Gians goal is to finish his studies and play for RP national team...

I asked him on myspace about his plans playing in RP and he told me that he's just waiting for them to call him...

He was gonna play on the recent 3 on 3 games but they didnt call him back.. He got permission from his HS coach but too bad nobody call him back..

Tell Gian a lot of people would like to see him play Basketball first. If he's good enough, he can earn a good living from it, much like he would if he becomes a Doctor. He can always try to be a doctor later, after his playing days are over.

[Dinamita]

lets just respect his decision..

whatever it is...

he's still playing basketball pa naman eh...so no need to worry....

imagine having samigue eman, gian chui, japeth aguilar, greg slaughter, naturalized sam ekwe and another Filipino guy 6'9" that i forgot the name in the national team, we can now compete against the taller guys. we would never run out of tall centers in FIBA games..

Yup, a tall national team built around a core of natural centers..........

That's the problem when you're too gifted with the height and the brains, you can't make up your mind. Good thing his mother affectionately calls him... Ang pogi ng anak ko... (my son is handsome)... I guess this is the same as for everyone else....

Wala kokontra, magagalit at papakulam ka ng nanay ko...(don't argue, you'll be plagued with a mother's curse/wrath.)

Oberlin Stats as of 15:07 left in 2nd Half with Swarthmore leading Oberlin 45-35

[bolabasket]

10:03 left Swarthmore leads Oberlin 56-43.

Gian Chiu, 0-6 from the field, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 3 tournovers, 1 block, 3 fouls in 18 minutes of action....

[kerouac82]

Make it 0-6 from the field and three fouls. At least he got one block. Oh well.

Their other freshman F/C, Ryan Magiera, is playing solid basketball right now. Too bad Swarthmore is connecting with their shots.
