He can be one
I’m not opposed to having RHJr and don’t doubt his talent.
The issue is with Cone and his camp. Too stubborn and insistent on player X because of “team chemistry”.
What team chemistry really? The “pass to Brownlee” team chemistry?

Fat chance.
The most realistic is JC as far as go-to scorers are concerned.
Tim is 67 yo and extremely stubborn. He’d still choose an injured Brownlee if he could. If he still rejects Clarkson albeit the former’s availability, then he is an idiot.
I won’t be surprised if the reason we still haven’t heard from FIBA is because of Cone’s camp insisting on Brownlee’s appeal.
With the way Harper, Jr. plays in the G-League, I bet that he is way better than many of the PBA imports for the past two conferences. Hollis-Jefferson is the only exemption.
Not even Brownlee can make a crack in the G-League.

Which is b*llsh*t on the part of Tim Cone. If this is Rajko, Tab or even Chot, they will definitely not hesitate on getting Harper, Jr. He is basically an import level player who just so happens to be a Fil-Foreigner and that's another reason why getting him is more practical - no need for naturalization process.

Before anyone respond, let's make it sense
everyone is saying about new players will take time to master cone's system. People suggesting this and that. Are you guys ok having kabayan as NP with possible chemistry issues and not ok adding other pinoys and possibly harper jr.?

We had JC at the last minute in the 2018 Asiad and we were still competitive.
If you can make it work, then you can make it work.
Cone is simply a stubborn dinosaur who doesn’t know how to adjust. There’s a reason I was never high on him. Too many GSM fanboys are simply blinded by our recent success in the 2022 Asiad, OQT, and first ever win against NZ.

No way this guy is taking minutes away from the coach's favourites. Unless he gets drafted by Ginebra and masters his super secret extremely difficult to learn system. We'll live and die with his boys

And Ron Harper, Jr. most probably is now available, right? His G-league team is already eliminated, right?
Between Ron, Jr. & Jordan Clarkson, I'll choose the former as Gilas natiralized player for the Asia Cup for the following reasons:
1. It will take much more money to get Clarkson for another stint with Gilas than for Gilas to have Ron, Jr. as its NP.
2. Clarkson most likely is going to join Gilas late (like he usually does) while Ron, Jr. can come to Manila by early June to start practicing with Gilas (the "every Monday" Gilas practice).

The article said Ange is the only other choice. Not a bad choice, since we need another interior defender. We will need the locals to step up big on offense, though.

About the discussion on Ron Harper Jr., I'll say this on our interior defense. Kai and AJ are our only big-minute interior defenders as of now. When neither is in the lineup, we're a donut, save for the time that Japeth's on the floor. Kai's injured. I think Japeth's a limited-minutes big in FIBA at this point.
On Harper now, can he, along with the rest of the team, mask our lack of an interior defensive presence when none of Kai, AJ, and Japeth are on the floor?

Still no update on QMB Eligibility?
We know AJ history and junemar, japeth age if one of them gets injured we are in big trouble.
That's why for me Kouame is the best choice for NP spot, Not JC or RHJr. Unless Fiba Declare QMB as a local...

I really can't understand why it's taking an eternity for FIBA to decide on QMB.

How accurate is this about Justin Brownlee?

ill take RHJ simply because younger and NBA level version of Brownlee. 3 level scorer, can defend bigs and wings, helps with rebounds, although he isnt a playmaker, you can go thru his team highlights and he has no problem giving the ball up.
JC is a great off the bench scorer and secondary ball handler. thats amazing to have as well, but the defense and rebounds we lose if noone can cover if we didnt have Brownlee is harder to recover from. if KQ can focus on defending the wings and getting himself open in offense, he would be an upgrade to Oftana. and that would be a very good wing rotation right there.

unless we see any interview from SBP directly,, i would not put too much stock on these videos. think about it, if JB has no possible suspension, SBP would come out and say it and probably be talking more about how to add a few more days of practice. it puts them in good light, and they can redirect fans attention to PBA instead.
if they say JB is cleared when he isnt, will make them look like liars. them saying JB is in hot waters then puts the highlight on JB and the pressing need for practice time and possible replacement instead of the PBA. staying quiet makes fans speculate and they can just clarify everything afterwards.mas madali maghugas kamay if they dont pre-empt things

We will be fed to the lions if we go local. Both NZ & the much improved Chinese Taipei team are very very tough opponents.
Everybody is a tough opponent actually - China, Lebanon, Jordan, Japan, Korea, CT, NZ & of course Australia. I hate to say this but I don't think our current Gilas team is capable of beating any of these teams if we go for a all-local line-up with coach Tim calling the shots. We have become so dependent on go-to-guy naturalized players like JB & Clarkson in the last several years that our locals can't do the job without the help of a naturalized player.

The more cone should trust other players to do scoring.. we have players that can score..
