For fun? You mean like a facebook comment? I can do that too!
Guards: Thompson 6'1 Heading 6'2 Abando 6'2 Abarrientos 5'11 Bolick 6'0
Wings: Clarkson 6'6 Brownlee 6'7 Quiambao 6'4 Ramos 6'4 Malonzo 6'7 Navarro 6'6 Oftana 6'5 Parks 6'4
Bigs: Kouame 6'11 Aguilar 6'10 Sotto 7'1 Tamayo 6'7 Amos 6'7
Damn, we suck. We don't have a guard taller than 6'3 (as far as the FIBA height listing is concerned) and I don't consider Parks a guard anymore since he's been spending the last few years sitting on the corner for Nagoya like how a Chot Reyes team wants his wings. Tab wanted Ramos to develop into a FIBA-level guard, but we've seen Chot use him as a small ball 4... which Quiambao actually is and why I picked him. Of the old Tab guys that Chot will never pick for the final squad but need for practice, Navarro will be useful...but if Mike Phillips dominates the glass in the SEA Games against all those Americans, I'm actually thinking he should be included and take out Navarro. I personally wouldn't pick either Ravena over Bolick, I'm even considering Perez over both of them anyway. We just have way too many good guards but what Gilas needs are guys who can defend 6'6 - 6'8 guys on the switch and go back to the New Zealand blowout and the 2nd half of the DR game for reference.
