Bad tune up series from Jordan, as they lost to Egypt badly (58-95).. although expected guys like RHJ, Al Dwairi to play for the qualifiers this week…

meanwhile Saudi again lost vs CAR (71-76).. they have a long way to learn the system of Nestor Garcia.. it is a long process.. although they keep try to learn…
Jordan is significantly weaker sans Al-Dwairi and RHJ.
Did Freddy play?
Their depth is simply not very good as it evident by the minutes played by their starters. Our bench outscored theirs in all matched as I recall.

Yes he did, so did fellow starters Amin Abuhawas, Hashem Abbas, & veteran center Mohammed Hussein. Missing are RHJ, Al Dwairi & Sam Bzai.
Balti or Laput in as Krakens replacement? Let's go wih young blood. New improve Kai is enough, but he still needs a reliever to give him a rest during his games against Hongkog and cT.
i think he is just having a rest. i dont think CTC will replace him. in this window, he wont be playing heavy minutes so its fine if he is included.
It is possible Junemar worsened his calf by playing against doctors orders. It depends on the latest doctors prognosis. But as we saw in game 3 and 4 a hobbled June mar is vulnerable. If he is forced to play then aggravates his injury it doesnt really sound like a good plan.
I think Japeth will play instead. Kai and Jb starts and Japeth and Tamayo/Malonzo as relievers.
I think Bzai is still serving suspension.
I expected JB at 4 anyways (he was a four in college, and has played both forward positions throughout his pro career). Let's see if he can help Kai out on defense. Last window, he couldn't help June Mar out on defense against Jordan and Lebanon.

No word on Junmar's possible replacement?
Or maybe coach Tim won't call for any replacement on Junmar anymore with our 1st game vs. Hong-Kong just 3 days away.
Latest report mentioned the team will go with 11 players.
Japeth replaces Edu with Junemar having no replacement.
Doesn't really matter as CTC plays a 9-man rotation each game.
Also, it's HK and Taiwan. We don’t need that many bigs. Just relievers for Kai. As long as JB32 is healthy, our offensive blueprint remains intact.
Besides, we need to rely less on Junemar as he’s 34 already.

Is Keith Datu ineligible? How about Luis Villegas? James Laput? Brandon Bates?
pretty sure Datu, Villegas, and Laput are ineligible. not 100% sure with Bates i dont recall ever reading that he was. maybe someone else can confirm but he probably isnt.

Damn, PBA and SBP looking to insist a PBA-majority Gilas the many in the PBA are either undersized, underskilled or ineligible. If you come to think of it, PBA also has shallow talent depth, if you take into consideration those three (undersized, underskilled, ineligible).
in the bigman position alone, PBA players will either be one of these.
- CS - ineligible
- Arana - undersized
- Datu - ineligible
- Villegas - ineligible
- Laput - ineligible
- Sangalang - undersized/underskilled
- Tautuaa - ineligible
- BGR - ineligible
