1. Gemao 6'1
2. Medina 6'3
3. Burgos 6'3
4. Lorenzo 6'5
5. Esteban 6'3
6. Cabonilla 6'5

8. Manding 6'3
9. Esperanza 5'11
​10. Jayden Jones 6'4
11. Kurl Figueroa

As per the last 2 guys, both of them are the big man of NU Bullpups who won the last palarong pambansa, I don't know their exact height right now though. I saw some post last yr about Kurl Figueroa and his height is 6'4, don't know if he grew over a year.​

Bro, are Kurl Figueroa & Gabriel Nepacena better than Daep & Borja (the two 6-foot-7 bigs of Perpetual that were said to be prohibited by their school to join the U-18 team)?

I don't really know, but looks like Nepacena is a member of the mythical 5 in Palarong Pambansa.

Knowing NUNS, they have good program for bigs who produced KQ and Tamayo. I mean overall I think they have the best program in UAAP jrs.

So based on the recently ended training camp, lineup will be much likely:


1. Gemao
2. Medina
3. Burgos
4. Lorenzo
5. Esteban
6. Cabonilla
7. Ludovice
8. Manding
9. Esperanza
10. Jayden Jones
11. Kurl Figueroa
12. Gabriel Nepacena

​​​​I don't really know who are the last 2 players lol. Don't know what their position or height.

​​I just saw them tagged with coach Rob's post about the training camp.

Gone are Castillejos, Hunter, Santos? not sure.


This is not the official lineup, just the players who attended the training camp.

But it looks like an upgrade from the SEABA lineup though, the non-contributor / benchwarmer guys were replaced.

so we have gotten smaller even. Tumaneng should have been included just for his height and bulk. I mean we dont get much from Ludovice or Esperanza anyways. WISH Napacena is a big guy.
 
Korea's U18 lineup, their tallest is 6'5. I do hope they would top their group because we can have a good match up with them.

Both Nepacena and Figueroa play as bigs. Although I think both of them only has 6'5 max height. I was hoping for Esperanza to get replace too, we already have Gemao as primary ball handler and Ludovice as his back up, no need for another 5'11 PG. He was not also that good in the last SEABA tournament. Maybe a project big like Tumaneng or Castillejos will do just for an experience. Hell, I would even put Prince Carino or Andwil Yap just for them to have that maturity for next year U16.

Yes same thoughts. I mean we have seen how Lorenzo looked useless agaimst the 6-7 Indonesian big, so how much more against Asian Bigs

One 201cm player, the next tallest are 5 players measuring 194-196cm (around 6'4"-6'5").
 
maybe some schools with bigs don't want to lend their players since the imbecile won't use them or will make them look bad. haha

They probably thought the midget lover will just bench their bigs,given a towel and cheer from the bench.

Reyes is just sticking to a standard .................. a Philippine standard where centers are 6'5 - 6'6, PF are 6'3 - 6'4, SF are 6'1 - 6'2, SG 6'0, PG that are below 5'10. This worked before, the Philippine team placed third in the World Cup. Mind you, his team is even an upgrade of that 1954 (53?) team.

nope. 1 foot = 12 inches. So 0.594488 X 12 = 7.133856
So 201cm is 6'7.13" to be exact.

Your calculation is wrong,on my calculator its 201 centimeters=6.594488 in per google measurement its 201 centimeters=6.59449,I'm within the parameters,while your calculations won't get you a job in NASA for sure,you will send the Space Plane Dream Chaser in a wide orbit.
