2022 Batang Gilas U16

[IPC2]

Better to list him as 6'2 so DDO, Jr. will use him as a SF. hahaha

Nice joke. Hahahahahahaha.

But really, this is an indictment of most coaches in Philippine basketball. 3-guard lineups if it helps them win in the local, even if the third guard is too undersized.

 

[Dotch2]

with few people missing

sino yung mukhang anime? (blondie)

 

[Dotch2]

6'5 Kristian "Baby Beau Belga" Porter, younger brother of Phoenix's Kris Porter, and 5'9 Jared "J-House" Bahay

PS: from EF's twitter. and no, I didn't give the nicknames

wow, for the age group, this is a tall lineup

 

[crenshaw2]

Not bad for bunch of HS kids...TnT is the defending All Filipino Champions...Granting it is not the fullstrengyh TNT team that they played but losing to an All Pro team by this than double digits is a laudable job alrwady for the Batang Gilas.

My God, what is the facisnation of the Reyes clan woth Minion ball....Not taking anythingbaway from Bahay and Gemao for they could be excellent PG, but kailangan ba talaga 2PG in the starting 5....

Makes me scratch ny mind that 6-3 Amos wa cut over the 5-10s Miranda and Nieto...

I dont mind us being small. This is still teenage basketball, skilled small can beat unskilled bigs. Lets not be spoiled w kai's batch, wc is an outlier to our genetics that lacks length. Id take my chances w a squad full of kids that play hard and play together.

yep, this is still pretty tall for our normal standards. the u17 teams that we went to the world cup before kai had 6'3"/6'4" centers

 

[Rds2]

He doesn’t look 6’4. Almost as tall as Harris who is 6’5-6’6.

They listed Caelum as 6'5. Probably height without shoes.

With the way things are going, it looks like 6’7 is going to be the average local big for this decade.

That means we will have to stick to PF/C naturalized players like Ange or Andray.

Relatively tall, until we face the Chinese U-16. Almost always, they will parade 16 y.o kids who are a foot taller than our tallests. Buit no matter, i think we have a winning record against Chinese U-16 and U-18 since 2014.

No choice. But to compensate it with skills

�� FIBA U16 Asian Championship
��️ June 12-19, 2022
�� Doha, Qatar

Batang Gilas ���� schedule:
June 13 • vs Kuwait
June 14 • vs Japan


This is what Japan U-16 NT looks like (with 17 year old kids..so maybe they same pool as U-18) . Tallests are 200cm (6'6") and 201cm (6'7")

Small ball is sacrificing size for speed and vesatility at the 4 and 5 positions. It doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing size at the 1, 2, and 3 positions, which ja.he and sajubeads was pointing out. They showed concern over the undersized players at 1 and 2, which will affect our ability to defend.

the problem with the Reyeses is that they are putting premium on offense sacrificing the team's ability to defend. the problem, though, is that i don't think that their favorite players are not that skilled offensively.

I've felt for quite a while is that we should build our rosters around defense, and that starts with youth. That means selecting players with the right combination of length and quickness for perimeter players and some forwards, and more guys with at least a decent motor. And yes, less Pinoy small ball lineups in favor of a good-sized traditional lineup or even a proper small ball lineup.

Having a staff who can teach defense can help too.

if they think that a 6'0 off-guard can easily steal the ball from a 6'4-6'5 equally skilled and fast shooting guard, they are dead wrong. also, they forgot that shots are released upwards not downwards - standing reach height is important to disrupt someone from taking a shot.

Even a 6'2"-6'3" off-guard would have been better, like Cansino, Abando, or probably Mamuyac. Better chance to contest a 6'4"-6'5"' player's shot.

Hopefully, in Final 12. They will go for Size. It seems Gemao and Bahay will both make the lineup. I dont mind them being in the Final 12. Looks like they are impressing in practice. But they should be the ones alternating in the PG spot.

My own Final 12

10 Man Rotation of:

PG: Gemao (6'0-6'1), Bahay (5'10-5'11)

SG: Bayla (6'4-6'5), Jones (6'2-6'3)

SF: Basti (6'5-6'6), Pre (6'4-6'5)

PF: Harris (6'5-6'6), Kotov (6'6-6'7)

C: Mahmood (6'6-6'7), Porter (6'5)

The other 2. Idk. Not familiar much with other kids. But above will be my rotation. Not Tall, But it is okish in size considering what is available.

PS: Based on tiebreaker article, they will have tuneup friendlies in Doha. Hopefully, we can watch and see it

China is known to fake birth certificates so they are actually sending 18 yr olds to the U16 tournaments.
