The Indons are not just doing the copy paste of SBP,they actually went one step ahead of granting citizenship to foreign born before 16,this will be an interesting team in 2 years and how will the Pinoy uninformed basketball fans will react online.

Diagne already very good at his age.. he is more younger than DMX (19 years old).. Imagine if he is now 25 years old? Meanwhile Kane is less talented than Diagne but he is more of a role player, blocking shots, getting rebounds and putbacks.. he's like Kouame.. A good complimentary player with DMX and Diagne.. I hope other ASEAN teams should follow Indonesia, recruit Africans before age 18, do residency to be a local player.. especially that most of ASEAN nations have little community in the US to recruit basketball players.. although Thailand and Vietnam have some decent pool of Thai-ams and Viet-ams but still need more of that if they want to compete.. This year might be the start of 2029 FIBA Asia cup pre qualifiers for those not qualified for FIBA Asia last year and recent world cup qualifiers... A good opportunity for our ASEAN neighbors to expose in FIBA sanctioned matches... Teams like Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and even Timor Leste and Brunei should join if they have a team to atleast expose in official Fiba competitions...

I just want to see the reaction of those Thais/Indons don't like natives from the youtube comments,when our own team almost all are haifus.

There’s the right way and the easy way. They don’t usually connect on the same page.
Personally, the practice of directly recruiting 15, 16 year olds who doesn’t have any blood or connection with the county and become citizens to be part of a national team sports is the easy way — not the right way. At the same time, it is wrong and very unethical despite being legal. Who knows if the parents of these kids were financially compensated to agree to this.
This type of practice, again personally, cheapens the value and integrity of the country’s citizenship. Yeah, it will create instant competitiveness, but there’s always the right way even of takes years or even decades to get it right.

Newsome injured and JMF hurting.

What are the odds of them not playing in the second window?

I think Newsome has the highest odds. This could be Juan Gomez de Liano’s shot.
As for Junemar, depends if SMB makes it to the finals and his extent of his shoulder injury. Poor Japeth, he just can’t retire.
I think the question we need to ask is, will Kai Soto cleared to play for Gilas next month?

I think Junmar can still play in the 2nd window, but since he has already expressed his intention to retire from Gilas, & with Kai Sotto most likely able to play in the 2nd window, I think it's about time we let Junmar retire from national team service with a much pat on the back. It's time for Gilas to wean from Junmar's presence & instead focus on the continued assimilation/integration of the younger bigs like AJ Edu & QMB with the system. Besides, Junmar won't be around with Gilas come 2027 & beyond. What we will surely have are our younger bigs like Kai Sotto, Edu & QMB. Now, what if Ange Kouame finally gets his FIBA exemption within this year? That's 4 solid bigs standing 6-foot-9 to 7-foot-1 who are young & very much at the developmental stage.

the Kraken should now occupy that 11th and 12th spot and coming off the bench is the ideal thing

and not aggravate that brittle shoulder.

I think his swan song would be the coming Asian Games.

I can see 1GDL taking Newsome’s spot.

JMF will be the new Japeth and won’t log major minutes. This is assuming Kai is back 100%.

If Ange gets the exemption this year, I expect JMF to fall out of the rotation and just be a reserved big in case the young ones get injured.

Kai is now excluded in the upcoming BLeague AllStart and has yet to play any game for his mother club, Conditions or rehab is still not yet okay?
Although during the last window, I saw some clips of Kai practicing/shooting without any contact.

We can still use Junemar for around 5 years but decreased minutes like Japeth. His bulk, strength, and offense are still useful when facing opponents with weak frontlines.
 
With Carl's injury a return of Jamie seems possible. Actually I am still not sure with Jamie. He's decent but he's shown he's too soft to play as 4 in Fiba and was not considered to play 3 by TC. If he can play 3 that would be good. Or maybe he's a decent enough matchup for NZ as they are not particularly big in the frontline.
