If only we got with the times in the 2010s and embraced versatility in our tall players, similar to Miami and GSW (although they did take advantage of the weakest batch of centers in the NBA), and patterned our development after their play style.

In contrast the 2010s gave us the dump the ball to Junemar phenomenon. Who cares if it's boring and outdated, it worked in the PBA. Nobody could match JF's combination of size and skills.

I wonder if this 2022 Team can Outperform 2018 team.

The 2018 team placed 4th, and earned the right to play in U17 that time.

That 2018 team have size with Kai, Cortez, and Chiu. Kai was a monster there having 20-20 games in QF and SF. And he was named in Mythical 5.

Now, this 2022 team, Have taller players in Guards and Wings. (If they choose the taller ones), So, I bet they can outperform the likes of Padrigao, Fortea, and Abadiano. They have no dominant Big like Kai. But I am hoping for Mahmood and Konov to be a revelation here.

Consider too that China & Taiwan aren't playing in this year's tournament. So somehow that bolsters our chances of achieving a podium finish.

A 6-foot-8 natural small forward would already a major upgrade for Phi basketball size wise.

^^ that same team got mopped when they advanced to the Worlds tho. So yeah, cant just rely on skills.

Well, maybe if our target is just a podium finish in the Asia-Oceania level, then the smaller but more skillful guards & wings would be ok. Things would be different when we're already talking about the world stage.

 

[JAMSKIE2]

No choice really. in that age group 5'8-6'1 boys are the most skillful. And Pinoy coaches tend to put their best players regardless of size on the floor at any given time. This is the same reason the Nieto twins, Desiderio and other small players were able to beat the taller Chinese, (was that?) 9 years ago.


That's why I am more confident playing against 16 y.o. Chinese 6'5s who are forced to play guards because of this "taller is better" mindset. They maybe be taller but definitely they are not in anyway more instinctive and dont have better BBIQ than our 5'8 boys.

Also that in the youth level, individual skills of the players weights more than team cohesion or chemistry. So somehow, it makes sense having a No. of small but very skilled point guards & shooting guards in the team.

aside from Pinoy made highlights, all other highlights I saw is the kid doing spot up shots and doing layups because defense left him. because of this, i have 0 expectation aside from he should be money when left open outside. mamaya magexpect tayo, michael hrabak pla peg.

I really want too.

Sir enzo flpjo said Jayden and Femi may be available in U17 if we qualify.

We can finally see if Jayden is really eligible if that happens

Hopefully, His shooting translates in Fiba Youth for Batang Gilas.

We have some athletic slashers already.

FIBA U16 Asian Championship
June 12-19, 2022

June 13 - Gilas Youth vs Kuwait
June 14 - Gilas Youth vs Japan

Time for Batang Gilas. Idk how stong the youth teams if other coutries. But I think Batang Gilas can beat Kuwait. Idk about Japan.

But sana naman, our batang gilas will show better performance than the Gilas Sea Games Team

 

[earldeboy2]

We really need to defeat Japan and top the group C in the prelims to have the best shot at qualifying for the world cup. Looking at the groups, if we'll top group C, we'll most likely meet with Qatar or Bahrain in the quarterfinals which, I believe, is the best scenario for our team. If we loose to Japan in the prelims, we'll most likely clash with Australia in the QFs (assuming we win the the qualifying round against Kazakhstan or Korea).

 

[JAMSKIE2]

Japanese teams have always been dangerous in the Asian youth level. I fear Japan more than I fear Iran or Lebanon in the youth level.

Their preparations has always been the key to their youth team's success. And also, their for-japs. They have plenty of them.

Yeah. I remember the epic Kai Sotto VS Tanaka Battle in U16

 

[joemarksforty2]

And i will not expect much when your head coach is majinboo jr ��

 

[GoPilipinas2]

Yeah poor kids why choke jr is coaching our youth team again? SBP is really incompetent di na natuto.

 

[reamily2]

Excited pa rin kahit si DDO jr, yeah tactical wise not the best guy if you want win but were in for development we need to teach the guys face up basketball skills...

 

[live_evil2]
