We also got a good No. of defensive oriented players on the team - Ross, Newsome, Perez, Kouame, Lasseter.

That's a defensive nightmare of a lineup. Brownlee and Japeth can contribute to the defense too. Cone loves him some defense.

To be fair to Cone, he's improved defensively in the international setup. From giving up a high 3-point percentage against Indonesia (40-something, if I remember correctly) in the 2019 SEA Games to being one of those who coached us to a top 10 defense in the World Cup.

This, Panlilio and Vargas had escaped pubic scrutiny for so long. Chot is just 1 piece of the puzzle.

That's becoz an averaged Pinoy basketball fan has a limited knowledge about what is exactly going on with Gilas & SBP.

And most Pinoy bloggers aren't that knowledgable about what has been going on with Phi basketball. These bloggers should be helping in educating & make Pinoy basketball fans aware of what is going on with Phi basketball. Unfortunately, most of these bloggers lack wisdom & understanding.

As if the blaming & bashing Chot has received weren't enough:cool:

But I think Al Panlilio deserves the bashing & blaming as well. In fact I want Panlilio to be held accountable for all these mess.

Absolutely. Panlilio has been making bone-headed decisions since 2018. Remember we almost didn’t send a team in the 2018 Asiad.

It’s fair to say Panlilio is just not qualified for the job.

I feel Korea is the team to beat in this Asiad.

It’s like their revenge arc after getting DQ'd last year. I doubt Jordan would have qualified in the WC if Korea was around. Jordan’s form in the second round was questionable.

Jordan probably won't have star center Ahmad Al Dwairi in the Asiad as he probably is on training camp now with his Turkish pro team. Bahrain's top local player Hamodda would probably not play in the Asiad as its back to school now in US college.

Japan is sending a developmental team so I don't expect such team to be anywhere near the level of its national team-A. Iran isn't as strong as it used to be some years ago. For one, legendary center Hamed Haddadi has already retired from the national team. China is playing without Zhou Qi & naturalized player Kyle Anderson.

I say, if coach Tim Cone can mold this Gilas team into a defensive oriented one, I think we can beat any team in the Asiad.

We have better chance in winning a medal then, unless some of the less-heralded players from the NTs with downgraded rosters you mentioned play out of their minds come the tournament proper.

This upcoming Asiad basketball tournament I think is going to look like a souped-up version of this year's SEA Games. It's going to be an above-average test for the SMC-led SBP.

Here's the SoKor lineup: https://twitter.com/YaChHy74ny/status/1704372856552075392?t=QdxK11ajVfdmiVN4HjwXWw&s=19

Pretty strong lineup. Height and shooting from 1 to 4. Even 5 if we count Kim Jong-kyu and Ricardo Ratliffe.

Vloggers need to drag this kapit-tuko idi0t out of the shadows and into the limelight. Casual fans rely on vloggers and content creators for information. More than Spin.

Snow also has his own clout but I haven't seen him singling out Panlilio.

This will need some verification. I dunno if news outlets have reported it yet. But if true, yes, they are a really strong team.

TIL 6'7 Lee JungHyun will play for Illawarra Hawks of the NBL
 
IPC said:
The 6'7" guy is Lee Hyun-jung. Lee Jung-hyun is a 190cm guard.

Korean names are kinda confusing, everybody sounds the same.

Oh oki. Basta yung naka shoot ng 3 points to tie, bago yung "Selemat Belangel Shot"

So its the 6-foot-3 Lee Jung-Hyun who will be playing in the Asian Games & not the 6-foot-7 Lee Hyun Jung who is South Korea's 2nd leading scorer behind Ricardo Ratliffe in the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers?

That 6-foot-7 Lee Hyun-jung is scary. I remember how good & promising he was in 2021 when the coach Tab Baldwin-mentored Gilas team (made up of amateurs) beat Korea twice. Lee was only 20 at the time.
