Yes thats what I noticed recently. I was watching past PBA games and it just doesn’t have the same feel as an NBA game. The flow, momentum is just way too different. The movement of some players look like they haven’t been stretching. Watch Troy Rosario, Kobe Paras and Benjie Paras they all run the same. They run awkwardly. Then you see guys like Terrence Romeo, James Yap takbong mayaman lagi. Even guys like Pingris takbong gigil. One of our homegrown players that moves the best is actually Castro.
Tamayo playing against his agemates, while Rosario playing against big boys.. stupid comparison though.. Rosario's advantage over Tamayo is the former already played in Tab/Dickel system while Tamayo is not yet.. Rosario knows what Tab/Dickel runs and They (Tab/Dickel) have only little adjustment only.. but i hope that Tamayo will be included in future Gilas pool, Unfortunately he's still 20 years old and He's not yet allowed to join any trainings/scrimmages under government protocols/guidelines.. Maybe he should go first to US for advance training, since unlike here eh he can play/training there...
At his age (Castro), He's still the fastest guard in the PBA.. faster even against young players in the Philippines.. Even he can outrun Mark Nonoy.. If his team before (Singapore Slingers) not back out in the Australia NBL, I think he have a chance to be scout overseas, including the NBA..
In other words Castro still can play at high level at his age (34), while some of his batchmates (Norwood, Dillinger, Mercado) are already look like past of their primes.. That is the discipline that younger players should look at.. That's why i'm disappoint on what Vic Manuel statement about the food saga.. Eating nutritious food is very important in any athletes.. Not like eating Galunggong, tuyo, siomai is already OK for them.. If you are professional athlete, you must also be professional picking of your eating nutritious foods.. Di yung sobrang mamantika or no substance.. Look at Beau Belga.. He can't even play throughout after 15 mins straight.. Even him (Vic Manuel), he can't play longer minutes because he's OK enough with Galunggong eh..
This guy should be the prototype our young forwards should emulate, and is doable if one is standing 6’ 5” to 6’ 8”. The kid stands 6’ 9” but since we are naturally smaller in stature, I’m not that optimistic our guys his height (Kemark Carino, Pangalangan, et al) could reach such level in terms of skill level (agility, coordination comes to play).
Player to watch ito in the future: Deni Avdija (6’ 9” sf/pf)

Center - Kai and AJ
International 4 - Kobe and Troy
Taller wing - Clarkson and Dwight
Wing /guard - CJ, Thirdy
PG- Kiefer. (with our taller wings being secondary playmakers)
9 man rotation - the normal FIBA 40 min game rotation
This is the true current reality, not fantasy vision of what can possibly be

Well you’re in luck. He should still be right there at the 4th pick. But if teams have wisen up on the Luka tragedy (Bagley, Ayton would be lucky to achieve franchise player status), this guy should be in the mix with Ball, Wiseman and Edwards.I like how this kid plays. Athletic, competitive, and smart. He was a Eurobasket U19 MVP. He's on my draft wishlist for the Bulls.
As for our bigger forwards emulating him, that will happen more with newer coaches who understand the modern international game. A generational shift.

There is a reason why Navarro and sometimes Thirdy play 4, while Maagdenberg sometimes plays 5. It really is the smart and effective thing to do
His mother did track and his was a Serbian basketball player
Speaking of Avdija looks like he is training at TSF https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdHUMujpwB/?hl=en

Ganito lang dapat. Translation: Nothing fancy. Instead, solid fundamentals. That was so fluid to look at...!
Comparing level of tournament is not the gauge of performance of these players.. So it means Kai Sotto now is better than Junmar because Kai has a good run in FIBA U19 WC while Fajardo failed to perform in last WC.. invalid statement though...
Stupid comparison?LOL!! So Carl didn't play against big boys in his age group? And Troy didn't played against players in 27-29 age range?
In future.. YES.. But not today!!! Tamayo should need exposure first.. Troy can teach Tamayo naman.. It's better to have them both.. but Troy is our first choice stretch 4 today (Edu only available after US NCAA stint).. Troy still on his prime in 2023 at age of 30.. Tamayo will have time.. But i want him to be included in World Cup qualifiers next year.. For development purposes..
Bro its in the quality...The quality of players in Age group competition is different Seniors even if they are of same age.m

If Tamayo should do this one.. Ang kaso he pick UP.. and Bo (bakit sya pa?) will handle Tamayo.. Good luck with that..
