Ange, Phillips, and QMB getting exemptions actually solves all of that.
How the heck will QMB get an exemption? There’s more of a case for Ange and Mike.

Hopefully Ange will play the Hong Kong game but it could be the NZ game if Kai is out due to his concussion.

2. Kai
3. Tamayo

NZ's the first game on the 21st. Hong Kong will be on the 24th.If we're going to field Ange Kouame against Hong Kong to give JB some rest, I don't think it's a good idea. Let JB get his rhythm against Hong Kong first. Baka mangapa pa kung kelan against New Zealand na, but hey a rest is a rest still.
Im curious to include Ange instead of JB for this window, JB looks winded
As we can see, coach Tim have no problem including Angelo Kouame in the Gilas pool for the 2nd window. That's becoz Kouame had already played for Gilas under coach Tim in last year's Asian Games, hence the famiarity with the triangle offense & the defensive scheme of coach Tim.
That's why adding 2 new players in the current pool is going to benefit Gilas in the not so distant future. For instance if you add a Jordan Heading & a Kemark Carino (Justin Baltazar would be a better choice but I think SBP is not pleased with Balti) to the pool & have them soaked with the triangle offense & let them play against Hongkong which is a game that Gilas is going to win easily regardless of the line up, Heading & Carino are going to get familiar with coach Tim's system which will have future benefits. When the time comes that Junmar Fajardo & Chris Newsome retires from Gilas, Carino & Heading could be potential replacements & becoz Heading & Carino have already practiced, trained & played with Gilas, the transition won't be that difficult becoz familiar na sila sa system ni coach Tim.
Parang investment yan eh. You invest now for future usage.
I have a feeling JB would be our naturalized player for the New Zealand game, then it would be Ange Kouame for the Hongkong game to give JB a much needed rest.
HK also doesn’t have a legit big other than Reid.
Ange and Edu combination would be an interesting one.
Heading provides shooting and an initiator, as well as an ability to at least stay in front of his man. Carino (and maybe Balti) provides an additional interior defender, an emergency in case AJ and Kai miss big games, or if none of them are on the floor. Both guys fill holes, in addition to being under 30 (Heading's 28, Carino's 26).
And Heading said that Cone contacted him for this past OQT, but he had to turn it down. Carino's in the PBA and has shown good defensive instincts and timing, despite being a bit of a liability offensively.
And with Heading in Converge, His possible stint to Gilas might be done already.. Gov Pineda and SBP bosses are not in good terms...
