Yes. But this is the reality we have to face.

lf PHL expect to be competitive in the World level next year, players, staff and management need not be emotional and sentimental and accept that some boys need to be replaced. It is imperative to upgrade in some positions. 3 of the bigs (6'4 to 6'6 ) arent really rim protectors and big rebounders, heck the best rebounder is 6'2 Alas. PHL needs to add some size. That's the most obvious part.

the real problem is they need the combo of size and skill. It’s be great if the team added bigger guys but that doesn’t mean it’ll translate if they can’t keep up athletically or skill wise. They’ll just be bigger cones to navigate around. Need to develop the skills and abilities of pretty much everyone on the team.

They are not just tall, they have heft, long limbs and athletic. This are times you would think why we choose basketball as our favorite sports.

what do sport need to choose lol the cardio sport soccer or rugby?
 
damn we are heading to a catastrophic beating if we don't find out shooting touch in the next half
 
I dont really agree that size is missing. The boys just need to be better. So what if you have 6'7 guys there if they are huffing and puffing and the opponents running circles around them. Unless you are extraordinarily tall and your inside scoring can make up for your slowness, like their 7 footer, you dont deserve to be there. Our PG was down after he got blocked but the reality is the 7 footer is not that fast laterally. If he tried to make the 7 footer move more on the 2nd attack he wouldve had a better result.
 
Alas being exposed here. He needs to develop to more of a PG and needs to be a bit faster if he wants to compete at this level.

But the pg doesn’t have the athleticism to take advantage of this. Same thing with Alas, he has size as a guard to get to the basket against similar sized guards but he’s getting shut down against longer guys here
 
good learning experience playing against taller, better comp. about what was expected in this game

I think Rugby would be a good sport, explosive sport similar to American football would probably end up creating better athletes especially since most bigs are undersized anyways, imagine a bunch of Zion, Barkley type big men on Gilas. Rebounding would no longer be a problem

imagine....generational nba talent on gilas? i dont think shifting to rugby will do anything like that
 
In the battle for Bronze and if we beat China, Josh and this team have the honor of being the only ones who've beaten Korea, Japan and China in the same tournament. That's a big If tho.

Well we don't have any 6'7 to begin with. And Aus PG is just 3 inches shorter than our tallest guy with is 6'6 Diao. Alas os shorter than Aus smallest players. Aus have 7ft and several 6'7 guys and above
 
It shard to believe last year's U16 team of Bahay, Caelium, Konov, Bayla, Zain et al, didnt have a podium finish, On paper, that team is better than this year's iteration ( and one year older too). Their game vs the Aussies were close and they were even leading at the 3rd Quarter.

It goes to show where the "I Hate Josh" is coming from
 
Again the tournament is developmental in nature.. the purpose is yu climb up the ladder and get better competition..this isnt u17 where players become one year older..
 
I guess the boys are emotionally drain after the Japan game. Low energy.

Tbf the competition in that tournament was stronger. Japan had yuto Kawashima who put up 26/18. This year the rest of the field is weaker.
