Based on the 2021 tournament edition, I'm guessing that:
July 2-4- preliminary round
July 5 - rest
July 6 - semifinal
July 7 - final
I hope Gilas would have the benefit of a day's rest this time around, unlike last time when they played back-to-back highly intense prelim games.

Send developmental etam with kai and Edu as centerpiece, Summer league for Kai? hahahahha no more
Send a younger team, maybe a U25 with a few slightly older players like Dwight, Will Navarro, maybe Ken Tuffin and Bolick. I might have a pool.
Guards: RJ (24 going 25), SJ (25), Bahay (19), Competente (19), Dwight (25 going 26), Bolick (28 going 29), Moore (20)
Wings: Lopez (21), Harris (19), Belmonte (21), Navarro (27), Tuffin (27), Nacua (19 going 20)
Tweeners: Tamayo (23), M. Amos (20), Konov (18 going 19), Pablo (20)
Bigs: Kai (22), AJ (23), Kouame (26 going 27, NP), Gagate (20), Demisana (20)
The PBA has too many older players who might not make as big a difference in this context, save for maybe June Mar. Might as well send the young guys for a learning experience. If Terrence is still dynamic, he should be included for upgrade in the guard spot, just have him supported by a competent defense.

KBL's over by April, B.League's over by May. So, most likely, the Japan and SoKor boys are available.

I'm getting talent-identification vibes on this post but yeah, I agree with the learning experience angle. SMC-PBA superstars' participation won't make much of a difference here, more so if grouped with teams from Europe or the Americas.

Talent Identification do it on asia cup qualifiers, but the three position so deep with will, dweet, lebron and even caelum ahrris
Talent identifcation become who will be the best 3 and d guy for the starters I mentioned above (as navarro is more of a gabe type sf) and if we will go to a backup 5 or go find stretch 4's..(Tamayo Balti, Gagate, Alter)

I can go with that.
This team is young, but frankly, only Lopez is developmental. Hahahahahahaha. Only 4 players over 25, though (Dwight, Abando, Navarro, JC).

Before FIBA newest rankings release:
POT 1 : Spain , Slovenia, Lithuania, Greece
POT 2: Italy, Brazil, Poland, Montenegro
POT 3: Puerto Rico, Finland, DR, Latvia
POT 4: Georgia, Mexico, Croatia, New Zealand
POT 5: Philippines, Lebanon, Angola, Ivory Coast
POT 6: Bahamas, Egypt, Cameroon, Bahrain
For sure expect changes after newest fiba rankings later this month… Bahamas might move to POT 5 to change either Angola or Ivory Coast to POT 6… Italy might replace Greece in POT 1 after QF finish of Italy while Greece didn’t make it into top 8… Latvia might leap their rankings due to very good performance last WC that might move them into POT 1 or 2… the rest might be same… Since Gilas will be on POT 5, they will be one of the lowest rank teams in OQT… expect that we will face top teams in POT 1 or 2… the best match ups for Gilas will be Montenegro (only lose 15 pts in tune up game) , Slovenia (if Doncic will not play) and Greece (if Giannis will not play).. in POT 3 and 4, Mexico, DR (w/o Towns and any DR NBAers), Finland (Japan taught us how to beat them) and Puerto Rico are very beatable for Gilas… I didn’t include NZL because they will not be grouped with either Asian teams in OQT because they will be basically part of Asia/Oceania region… Atleast we will escape Bahamas already… Any group will be group with Bahamas will be consider as “group of death”….

Off-topic : KD is the first to commit to play for the “Avengers” in 2024 Paris Olympics.. LeBron non- committal but is reportedly involved with recruiting players whilst Steph is quite interested. Interesting to watch is which team will win the Embiid tag of war…

Embiid:
1. Easiest way to win gold - USA
2. Hardest way to win, but if they do, very satisfying - France

How much I like for France to win gold at their own home turf but if the superstars of USA will decide to play then hands down they will be favourites. But if ”The Process” decide to choose France then it will be awesome. A frontline of Embiid, Gobert and Wemby will be nightmare…

Interesting when you consider NZ chances, without Adams NZ has beaten every team in last 4 years in Pot 2 to Pot 5 . what it hasn't done recently is beaten a team in Pot 1 , ( Spain , Slovenia , Lithuania , Greece (but was close with Greece in 2019 and 2023) , so while an upset , if Adams plays NZ at least has a chance to upset and qualify

Now and ever Gilas need a real pg,they might have to beg Bolic back,and maybe insert Remy Martin here and there,now that he have a Filipino passport,I would even put Abarrientos on the mix too,can't have enough high BBIQ pgs for sure.

This is the 17-23 year old development batch that I've been harping about.
Imagine starting this long-term development plan next year. Playing against world-level (not just asia) at a young age. Then fast forward 5-10 years of continuing this. That team will be cohesive and battle-tested AF.

Just don't be group with Bahamas... Any group that will have Bahamas will be consider already "Group of death"... That will decrease the chances of winning of some contender countries...

Who among the current Asian Games players can be considered good for the world level?
- Oftana
- Brownlee (out because of JC)
- June Mar (with AJ around)
- Kouame
Who are not?
- Lassiter (past his prime)
- Ross (past his prime/ineligible)
- Scottie (if you know, you know)
- CJ (if you know, you know)
- Tolentino (too d*mn slow to be a 3, too *ff*ng short to be a 4)
- Japeth (past his prime)
Debatable?
- Newsome
- Alas
Hope this can be taken into consideration by the OQT.
