"The only carryover from the FIBA U17 World Cup roster is 5-10 Joaquin Ludovice of UST. Others in the cast are 6-1 Andy Gemao of Royal Crown School, Toronto, 6-3 Earl Medina of Adamson, 6-8 Allen Perez of Adamson, 5-10 Mark Esperanza of Adamson, 6-5 Wilhelm Cabonilas of FEU, 6-5 Marc Burgos of FEU, 6-5 Charles Esteban of UST, 6-2 Carl Manding of UST, 6-5 Johnkurl Figueroa of NU, 6-4 Drei Lorenzo of UE and 5-11 Jericho Santos of Chaminade Prep School, Missouri."
The recent past roster chosen by seyer was definitely garbage, based on the complete overhaul of the nt. And this overhaul took only a couple of months! And only within metro manila schools. The pbs should have u16 and u18 teams from luzon, visayas and mindanao. You dont leave dumbf*ck coaches like seyer to build a deep-selection group like a national team.
And as will be eternally true, talent, athleticism and PER game capabilities are the ONLY SELECTION CRITERIA. "Chemistry" is a minor add-on, and was never a player selection criterion on this planet, except the seyers' planet.
If the seyers were hr managers, they will be asking employment candidates, "may pang chemistry ka ba"? Yes, that kind of moronic question, because the main hr question must be "what evidenced abilities do you have now that solves urgently necessary work priorities for our success?" See, if you ask the right questions, you have better chances of getting much more qualified people.
