That's just too ambitious bro. Being a point guard requires exceptional dribbling or ball handling skills. I don't think Quiambao would be able to reach that level. Even a big man with very good ball handling skills as a Mon Fernandez would be hard pressed to transition into a point guard during his early 20's. Quiambao ending up playing as a 2-guard is already a stretch in my opinion.

A more realistic expectation is Quiambao playing as a 3.

more importantly, i dont think he will be able to guard the opposing teams 1 or 2. ending up as a small forward who could drive and initiate plays is not so bad.

KQ was the main man in his high school team that had Carl Tamayo, etc.

He has large hands which gave him the tendency to do his one-handed shots (and also one-hand passes). At this level it's not that effective anymore so good thing he has worked on his proper shooting form. He can be a point forward because he has excellent "feel for the game" vision and unselfishness. Hopefully, Coach Topex puts the ball more in his hands because Nelle and Nonoy are really more of scoring guards.

He's perfect for position-less basketball. Imagine 4 players around his size with the same skill-set plus one-big. Everyone with length plus passing and shooting ability.

Yeah, becoming a point forward is the more realistic goal.

Become Oftana-like (shooting) while having an above-average passing/play-making abilities, perhaps?

Exactly. Someone similar to Joe Ingles. Another comparison is Draymond Green, they both are undersized for their position but because of their wingspan plays bigger than they are. And both have good vision.

The fact that it's hard to pigeonhole KQ is the reason he is a prime example of position-less basketball. Versatility.
 
Kq is an undersized forward.. he tends to play outside therefore he should learn how to pass.. this isnt any special talent.. its a talent he need to get any pt..he doesnt have the hops of a bruce brown, doesnt have the shooting of rdo.. doesnt have the strength either and set good screens to warrant a draymond green comparison. No wonder la salle struggled last year despite him being on the focal point of offense... Anything that he do can be learned by mason amos or a carl tamayo..

I likened him to Green because like you said they're both undersized. But both have great wingspan so they play bigger positions and both have good vision/passing. Yes, KQ knows how to pass, it's probably his best asset. He just has to limit going for the homerun passes.

When it comes to shooting, showing improvement is key. In a recent game, he made 7 3pt with good %. We have yet to see what becomes of him in his prime when it comes to shooting so RDO level is not out of the question.

You have to look at potential when it comes to comparisons with players who already reached their prime.

what makes draymond a big is his heft and motor..

Personally, I think that is a good thing. He'll never be a 5 internationally like Draymond. They can force him to be an undersized 4 but developing into a 3 really should be the goal.

He can pass, and shows improvement when it comes to shooting. Now that he's getting slimmer, he just has to work on his handles and his movement/speed.

We'll see soon enough if he can be a 3 when DLSU tries a lineup with FSA, Mike P and him.
 
KQ is just a better CBC, better at everything except maybe shooting but still too undersized for his position
 
I just tuned in to the La Salle game, and I saw a lineup of Estacio-Policarpio-Melencio-Ben Phillips-Buensalida.

Wow. Hope Policarpio and Melencio can be developed to become perimeter players.
