Our young players, especially finish their college stints, If they want to go abroad to play PRO basketball.. They should be ready physically and mentally ready.. If you look at top performers in B-League, Kiefer, Parks, Ramos and Kobe are ready to take it to the next level, Kiefer and Parks are seasoned veterans in professional basketball careers, including PBA, while Kobe and Ramos gained experience while playing Gilas and before US NCAA basketball, The latter 4 are no any PRO level stint yet, limited Gilas/FIBA international stints and no US NCAA stint.. Parang sa ordinary job yan, They always hiring very experienced personnel.. Guys like 1GDL, Javi & Carino (even Aquino) are not ready yet to play PRO basketball abroad.. They should take time first here to play PBA (Or under coach Tab in Gilas in 1-2 years) to gain some experience and readiness going to play abroad.. Look at Thirdy in his 1st year in B-League, he was struggled on his 1st season, Actually until now Thirdy still not impressive in his 2nd stint.. luckily is Aquino eh local sya sa B-League. kundi eh bad decision din yung pagpunta nya dun as Asian import.. He's not fit as Asian import.. hilaw na hilaw eh...
As i said earlier, for me both routes are just fine to take. When it comes to the underclassmen attracting significant interest from B. League (for any other reason aside from their capability to immediately contribute), if the offer is really hard to resist, so much that it would make them realize that staying in collegiate level would no longer make sense if further development of their game is concerned, then they should go for it. It's a 60-game season, PT is going to come to them at some point, they just have to be patient and disciplined in team practices/scrimmages so as to avoid multiple DNPs.
