6'7" bigs won't be a problem if they're taught to play the power forward position, like Carl Tamayo and Kevin Quiambao were. Even Justine Baltazar. Train them for mobility first and not heft.

Heft is fine IMO. What they need is mobility and shooting.

Just look at Junemar now. If he can consistently shoot from the perimeter and beyond the arc, he's a big headache to defend.

His dinosaur coach should be blamed for this late discovery. Same goes for Aguilar and Greg.

Think Boris Diaw or Julius Randle (if we're gonna be ambitious).

Yeah, those two could be good. Even Paul Millsap or Thad Young for more versatile two-way fours. Even if our bigs don't have the athleticism that they have, at least try to replicate their skillset on both ends.
 
Let's not emulate the NBA guys. For some reason they can maintain heft and quickness but for all other players it's one or the other. So unless you have an offensive skillset of say a Jokic or a Luka you have to surrender heft for mobility. The classic example of this is Balti. Many may disagree but his games against Korea and the Abdullah cup teams bear out that he has good enough laterals to bother perimeter players. He has to give up some strength to defend the post but that is alright. The FIBA PF's role now is not really a post up defender/threat. You look at most Euro guys they are lean.

Yup, Luka and Jokic are exceptions to the rule. Their high bball IQ, which includes the way they use their heft to their advantage would only work if said IQ is complemented by great footwork and high level skill (passing/shooting/vision etc.).

More than unfamiliarity it was Kai's stamina that limited his floor time. Tab actually didn't commit to giving Kai a slot immediately because he only had 1 practice. But his ability to pick up the system convinced Tab. He had the license to attack Ratliffe any which way he way he wanted. This was the only time I saw Kai bring up the ball and attack immediately. Some complain he was not passed to when he was sealing. He lacks the strength to make those plays even when sealing. Worse they could tap the ball for a turnover. The best idea really was for him to use his handles and attack from outside. Then use his length to have multiple follow-up attempts.

They seem to forget,that was and in sometimes now still the issue,easily to see,whenever he shrinks his size from 7'2 to 6'11,whenever he's tired or exasperated.

Kalye Irving have some tall friends most of them are 6'4" to 6'8". Their ages are listed in the picture
 
send him to the US now. Tell Kai's handlers to sponsor the kid. We could have an Asian Shaq if we play our cards right.
 
Ay napost na pala dito. Haha.

But anyway, I posted it in U15 prospects thread too
 
According to him, he is only 6'7-6'8. Not 6'10.

But still with that height and heft at 13.

I think he could have some potential

He'll grow to 6'9"-6'10" at least if he's 6'7"-6'8" at 13. This kid could be a potential low-post big if taught right.

We have young potential U14 HOMEGROWN Bigs

Batang Gilas Under 14 Tall Prospects

Roi Balague - 12 yrs old ( 6'4 1/2, According to coach Jefferson L. Codera )

Owen Calanasan - 13 yrs old ( 6'6 according to his tita, he looks big and tall beside Danny I though?

Andwil Yap - 13 yrs old (NEW Discovery, 6'7-6'8 according to him)

Deydi De Ocampo (RDO Jr.) - 14 yrs old
(Not sure about his true height, based on the pic though, he is taller than his father RDO, maybe 6'6 1/2 or 6'7)

Dont expect too much though.

They are all raw and slow.

They are not like a 13-14 yrs old Kai.

Nonetheless, They can be developed if trained right

Might hit the just below 7ft if he keeps growing until 18 at least ok first one to name him Andwil "Gigantor" Yap,I hope that name sticks,I claimed it.
 
If only we had the facility for cross training like in the US wherein some multiple sports the way Baylor are doing on their players to develop some CORE strength..tsk..tsk..swimming is also a good alternative and we had lot of facilities to choose actually.
