I wouldn't be surprised if the composition of the team is 9 players from SMC teams 2 from other teams and Kai.

That will prove Erika Dy is just another pawn in the dementia-infested world of SBP "stakeholders". All this bs on whoever the new coach is alreading having a set wishlist of players when it'll be just Al Francis doing the actual procurement of talent.

SMC have 7 eligible players that are useful right now (Abueva, June Mar, Terrence, M. Ahanmisi, Scottie, Perez, Malonzo), with Marcio as a probable end of bench player, and with Brownlee as the NP. Average age of 32. And of those 9, only Malonzo will be below 30 by the start of the window. Not exactly a long-term roster as Erika Dy said, Unless we count NorthPort and TerraFirma, the farm teams, which will include Arvin, Navarro, and Javi.

And, they have to be brain dead not to include Dwight, who is our most versatile player, and our best SF, not to mention being with Gilas since 2020. And the PBA has a glaring lack of viable PF's in FIBA (the useful eligibles are all outside the PBA (Carl, Mason, Balti), and Brownlee's the only useful full-time FIBA PF in the PBA).

Plus, Chua did mention the overseas guys. Keeping my expectations muted, but we can hope that the lineup will be more inclusive of them.

Me thinks this is a diversity,equity hire and also she's gonna be the spokesman and if anything goes wrong,she will take the brunt of it,saving the bruised ego of Panililio,SBP,Vargas,etc.

So including Brownlee at least 7,then 3 from other PBA teams and 2 overseas with Kai one of them,the none SMC players are the ones they're trying to convince to sign to SMC teams,1 overseas guy who's a specialist in his position and for Kai them trying to use his NIL for SMC products.
 
The funny thing is aside from Brownlee, the players that contributed most to the Asiad gold is not with SMC. Without Kouame we would not have won. For the locals it was Newsome who was most instrumental in the gold medal game. The SMC players are not the best international players in their position. Junemar is best as a backup now. We will lose if he is the best center in the team. Scottie is still not our best PG, it is Bollick. CJ is not the best SG. Malonzo is good but he is a tweener. Dwight is still our best SF. At PF Jamie is a bit small.

I dont think Al Chua has any illusions that he can win with mostly SMC players.

I listened to Snow's podcast and he blamed the old guard for the asian games list debacle. She might be a stooge but hopefully she is competent.

She defintely has way more basketball experience than the old farts combined. Also, her family was the political dynasty in Isabela so she probably can get hired goons if the other stakeholders mess with her. That's something that the SBP never had. Everyone was just an employee of some padrino. This lady could have been a political heiress if she wanted to. It'll start with the coaching hire, if it's a wtf moment followed by a player list of significant omissions... then we know what's up.

You need good defenders flanking Bolick, so Newsome and Dwight are the first choices at the 2 and 3 spots. Scottie can be good as a utility backup. And then you need lengthy wings to defend. Malonzo, Oftana, and Navarro are those guys. At center, you need him to protect the rim, unless the guy is as good as Jokic and has as much of an impact on offense, so Ange is a must. And at 4, you still need a big 4 that will be physical inside. Japeth and Erram have retired, and Troy and Almazan are unreliable in FIBA, so you need the likes of AJ (who is injured right now), Carl, Balti, and maybe Mason. Need a shooter like Heading too. Marcio's 36, and Wright's unreliable in FIBA.

I still think the appointment of Erika Dy is more of a PR move by the SBP to remove the spotlight and ire of fans from the incompetent trio of Al Panlilio, Ricky Vargas and Chot Reyes. She will be the mouthpiece and even the scapegoat if the Gilas program under achieves. But it is true that she is not someone these old heads can push around easily since she is from an influential political family. And that I think is the very sole reason why they desperately blocked the appointment of Delta Pineda into the PBA board, these corporate yes men know that they cant boss around a powerful politician that is more like a cartel boss. Heck I think there is already a plan in place for Converge to somehow land Baltazar in the upcoming draft to appease Delta.
 
With Carl Tamayo coming back to the country next week I do hope he gets an invite to be part of the team for the February qualifiers.

Yeah,she gonna need a strong backbone since it sounds like this old guards were pushing her in the front just in case there's a disaster from naming a permanent HC or not getting the necessary players.This last year those oligarchs can't take the heat and they just keeps pointing fingers and passing the buck.

Any new players from those teams?

or same faces?
 
Seriously adding Balti, KQ, Jordan and Carl for the coming Feb. windows is a no brainer unless nepotism and nasty politics envelopes the office of the newly appointed ED.

if indeed 2 weeks is the ideal setup for the Feb. 19 to 27 joust considering the Dubai tourney will end on the 28th of January..I think it's manageable hoping those lads will not receive a pink due to some serious here and there.
