1. You don't want to know their heights, trust me.
2. Pascual is an HS student in the United States, so his school must be one of those who follows the August start of a school year. Plus, HS students in America are usually piling up work during their junior and seniors years so he opts to concentrate on them.

No comment about that. The thing is: our RP Youth Team is again a run-and-gun team. Nothing wrong with that, however, we're lacking good frontliners but our guards are our main offense. Our frontliners' job are primarily defense, while offense is only a secondary objective.
There's hope, don't worry. Just because other teams have players above 2 meters doesn't always mean those players are a threat. It takes physical and rigorous months or even years of training to have a powerful tall 2 meter basketball player.
Don't forget, 98% of our players can hit beyond the arc (including Torres and Paredes).

Exactly....jordan had a 210cm guy,but hey he cant jump,he cant shoot the ball
elie haber 218cm,this guy is very good in joking,but in balling no comment.
The syria 218cm,i prefer to see him sitting at home.
The korean teams were always short but talent,fast,mobile.And they had a very bright results.
I still believe that Rp can make it,i watch a short video on youtube and they are not bad.

TEAM PILIPINAS
Fil-Canadian joins RP Youth team

A high-leaping Filipino-Canadian is the newest addition to the Nokia Philippine Youth team that will compete in the FIBA Asia Junior Men Championship on Aug. 28 to Sept. 5 in Tehran, Iran.
Matthew Wright, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard who starred for the Martin Grove high school team in Toronto, arrived Tuesday and immediately braced himself for the 18-under squad's final tune-up competition next week.
"He'll add ceiling to the team," said national mentor Franz Pumaren of Wright, a 16-year-old Grade 11 student who topscored in 18 of the Groves' 26 recent games.
The young nationals will compete against Lithuania, China and Chinese Taipei in the Manila Youth Invitational basketball championship on Aug. 14 to 17 as a run-up training to Iran.
Lithuania will banner three 7-footers, including FIBA-Euro Youth championship Most Valuable Player Donatas Motiejunas.
Led by Norbert Torres, another Filipino-Canadian, the Philippines qualified to the Iran joust after ruling the Southeast Asian Basketball Association Junior Men Championship in Kuala Lumpur last May.
The Philippines, which last won the Asian junior crown in 1982, is in Group C along with the United Arab Emirates, Chinese Taipei and Lebanon.
Defending champion China, Japan, India and Hong Kong are in Group A; Kazakhstan, Jordan, Korea and Saudi Arabia in Group B; and host Iran, Syria, Uzbekistan and Malaysia in Group D.

nikko monachini played in BC area in Canada, played center in HS but is being converted to play the 3 spot now in Junior College. I don't know if the team will be stronger because he hasn't played with them yet. I don't want to assume much. please back read in this thread and even the first RP Youth thread for more information on him.FEIFEI said:
