Might be a fiba dry run game..meaning on the world cup venue itself to check our preparedness hosting wise

Hi sirs! I'm a long time lurker in IBN and I've decided to join you and have healthy bball conversations.

Hoping for the best with Gilas this 2023 FIBA World Cup.

My first question if someone will answer me, do you share the same sentiments for this line-up po?

C - Kai Sotto
C - June Mar Fajardo
C - AJ Edu
C/PF - Japeth Aguilar
F - Jamie Malonzo
SF - Dwight Ramos
SG - Jordan Clarkson
SG - Ray Parks
SG - CJ Perez
SG - Rhenz Abando
PG - Scottie Thompson

For the last spot, whom do you see will make the cut between

Pogoy
Kiefer
Thirdy
Newsome
or
Oftana

My heart says Newsome
my mind says Kiefer
But if I had a guess it would be Pogoy simply because of his MVP and Chot connection.​

​Welcome to IBN. I agree somewhat with your lineup, but I'd replace Abando with Newsome as the sure choice, and the 12th man being between Kiefer, Abando, and Oftana. I'm dropping both Pogoy and Thirdy.

Thank you sir IPC! But if you have a hunch or a guess? Who would it be?

I feel a sigh of relief that Clarkson is finally on his way to the Philippines.

That's good enough for me, tbh. I watched their most recent staging last June with collegiate teams playing. Tickets sold for 400.00/head in the lower box section, would probably be 3x now since Gilas would be featured. It was a worthwhile experience.

U must be very impressed with Newsome's defense bro. Besides, Newsome can play some point guard.

 

[CoJ2]

Who needs to go and who stays?

JM
JA
EDU

MALOZO
OFTANA

RAY
NEW
ABANDO
THRDY
POGOY

KIEFER
PEREZ
RAMOZ

KAI
JC
SCOTTIE

Pogoy, the Ravenas has to go, abando, newsome and oftana fight for the 12th spot

And compared to our experiences with Blatche before, we'll be getting an NBA caliber who is on tip top shape. So I doubt sir that we would be getting a discount NBA version compared with Blatche before.​

12th man is for gay david role in the team.. Pogoy might get that..

Well, at least with Blatche, he joined Gilas training about 7 weeks prior to the 2014 World Cup so he was well assimilated to the team. And he was very fit during that time. Hindi lang sya physically as fit starting 2015 onwards.

Now nba agents is endorsing their wards to train 2 weeks only during fiba competitions

 

[magic_chiongson2]

iirc it had something to do with the insurance clause in their nba contracts. something like it covers 30 or so days on international duty, so if the tournament lasts 1-2 weeks then only 2 weeks of training is insured

which is pba like hahha

Pogoy = Epitome of pang PBA lang.

He doesn't deserve a slot. Even Newsome has more positives than him.

I think Choke has decided to cut Oftana.

No one knows how to use Calvin. Lmao

Guy is a good shot creator on offense, and is a plus on defense. He hasn't been the best lately, but at least he showed that he could defend in the August 2022 window.​ Hope he can get his confidence back for FIBA.

Maybe due to brutal Paul George injury in 2014.. after that, nba, their agents and also the players are hesitant to play their players to fiba competitions or they want insurance from basketball federations all over the world to cover in case someone like PG13’s case before…

 

[DaBarkads1432]

It seems Thirdy will be cut automatically... He's too small for SF while not a good shooter if he plays SG... He's still not develop yet his PG skills yet... So he will be out... Also Abando i think will be cut too... To raw for now, maybe he will have a chance in 2027 edition...
