BTW is Clarkson playing in the summer league? if he is , that further verifies why it would not sit well with LA if he opted to play for Gilas rather than start preparing for the season with his team

Insurance seems to be a huge factor, but the Lakers also have to worry about him playing overseas where they don't have their staff nearby to monitor him. Not to mention, he was negotiating his RFA deal. The earliest we'd might see Clarkson play is at the World Cup.

Clarkson has been playing in a LA's summer Pro-Am, Drew League.

Are you talking about this Mike Williams that played in the Drew League?

Yes, he's the same guy from Cal State Fullteron/Sioux Falls Skyforce (D-League).

don't know his age.. 6'5 rookie Aaron Fermin of the Arellano Braves

http://www.spin.ph/basketball/ncaa/news/aaron-fermin-arellano-braves-discovered-by-gilbert-bulawan

The long trip to Licab, it turned out, was worth it. After spending a year in residency, Fermin finally broke into the Braves lineup where he averaged 11 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks entering their match against San Beda on Monday.

Against the Red Cubs, Fermin continued to impress with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and seven blocks. With the Braves leading by two, 92-90, late in the game, Fermin swatted away a potential game-tying basket by Sam Abu Hijle to clinch the victory.

“Anak nga ata ng engkanto eh,” joked Darjuan.

His grandparents on both sides are Afro Americans, not a single one of them are having Asian features. The surname on his mother's side is Richardson. His only claim that he is a Fil-Am was that it is said to be his great grandmother on the father's side is a Filipino. If his claim is legit, the only makes him 1/8 Filipino, which technically is ineligible to be considered as a Fil-Am, by heart maybe he is, but by law, no he is not. The only exemption was Gabe Norwood who is 1/4 Filipino, which technically should also be ineligible to don the national colors but with the powers that be on his side, was able to squeezed in.

The thought of how bad we would be if we didn't have Gabe (legit size wing) and a naturalized player ( Marcus or Blatche) is revealing. Without the 2 , Gilas would perform like the pre 2009 NT's - none Asian semis participants

Here is thing, if the powers that be were able to squeeze 1/8 Pinoy Gabe Norwood to gain Filipino Citizenship after his 16 birthday, then the chances of tapping a talented Fil-foreigner (like Hepa or whoever) as our naturalized player is indeed a strong possibility.

They are part of strong effort on Chot's part to scout fil americans, sadly this skill by Chot will not be used due to the recent Fiba ruling..

But really he is the one to blame if the talents like parks werent included in the nt earlier that it should be Ray parks in 2016 is more like ray parks in 2012 if you base his role in the team, kinailanagn pa talaga sumanib sa mvp umbrella si parks to gain nt invite..

I know but legally under our constitution Gabe should't have able to get a Philippine passport at all, as neither of his parents were ever Philippine citizens, one of his grandparents were though. But thru the efforts of "powers that be' he secured one. In a similar way our ineligibles who might not legally have access to a passport without influence could potentially secure one , thus paving the way for some of them to serve as naturalized players without having to go through the lengthly and costly process of naturalization via congress

Here is a funny story, Gabe visited the Philippines as part of AIA (Athletes in Action) , one of the staff members of the team , suggested Gabe let me refer you to Chot, if you're interested in playing for the NT, next thing you knew he was playing with Chot's NT in some int'l tourney ( i was told in Serbia ,, could be wrong)
