Can't believe it's been a year since that disastrous world cup campaign. I still won't forgive the PBA for giving our players a 10 day preparation. Dinaig pa mga NBA players.
Maybe they'll put him in g league team as AC..
Remember also that it was former King's GM Vlade Divac who personally picks him after Jimmy inquired if there is an opportunity for him to work with them...the two became close as both of them were members of the FIBA Players Commission

I think Dickel has the right idea with positionless basketball here. I wonder how he'll develop that with TNT, especially with Troy, Erram, and probably Lervin Flores. I dunno with David Semerad.
Goal should be positionless lineup by the World Cup. I think that's achievable. If Tab's small ball lineups are successful in these qualifiers and the Asia Cup, that will bode well for our chances of using the lineup in the WC, and may make its mark in the PBA.
I think our probable final roster would be wing heavy. Logical thing to do as we have a sudden abundance on the position, and it came in opportune time as far as modern basketball is concerned. Perhaps a composition of 4 bigs 6 wings and 2 PGs would do. With Dwight, Dave and Calvin capable secondary playmakers/ballhandlers, we can afford to have a plethora of them in lieu of a 3rd PG. 5th big would be Kobe. I think that’s a feasible roster makeup.
As of now, only 4 teams in the PBA using positionless basketball.. TNT (w/ Parks is their jack of all trades), Ginebra (tall in every position by PBA standards), Phoenix (small in center position but wing oriented squad) and ROS (many players can play multiple position).. Hoping other teams will follow.. Surprisingly SMB, Magnolia and Alaska are still using old school basketball..

Well, Wings are the most versatile position. He can play guard,forward, and big. For ex. JDV.
It should be wing heavy actually. I think our abundance is in the wings now, and not in the guards anymore. I see more wing prospects than guard prospects. Wings looks like is where our talents is.
We can see this in the high school and collegiate level. A lot of 6'4" to 6'6" players with the ability to play the 3-spot.
