Our future big men will come in the province of Pampanga because there are at least 6 players stands 6'6 to 6'7 and they are all 15 years old kids. I think we have to focus on this kids while they are young.

Where (the province) and socio economic background of our best players comes form is an interesting topic to look into. Related to this topic, I was reading this article on where NBA players come from, the study says that contrary to perceived popular belief 60 % of NBA players actually belong to “well to do families” while only 13 % come from what we call the “Bronx or the lower socio economic group”, I don’t have the figures for the Philippines , but I noticed the influx of players from exclusive schools like Xavier and Ateneo. It actually makes sense , because if these young players are exposed to superior training, coaching and facilities the chances of developing better players is greater. You can also add fil-foreigners to the mix who do have the advantage of superior training. As to the province of Pampanga , hmm, it looks like this is a genetically factor advantage, a higher mixed raced population could result in having more gifted athletes of bigger size and height

Don't forget to factor in better NUTRITION!

The development of Holstein, Van Opstal and Tratter will be crucial for the future Gilas.

I'm still wishing for a 6'7" player in the future who can play the 2 and 3 position effectively.

Holstein isn't eligible.

A 6'4 or 6'5 3 is not too bad. What we in dire need is a 6'8 or 6'9 4,

Matt Rosser is 6'5, can play 1 and 2 and defends weill. Hopefully Kobe grows into legit 6'7 and a bigtime scorer, he can be the small forward we are longing for.

Almazan is 6'8 and AVO is 6'9 at 4.

question does Almazan have a decent outside shot? What's his FT % ?

I dunno his exact 3pt fg but he likes to force his shots is some of the games that i've watched this year. Like he'd rather shoot them than estbalish position down low.

Kobe is already 6'6 he still has 5 more years to grow we will see the outcome

Wow, but wiki is vey inaccurate.

Because somebody edited the wikipedia profile on supposedly player's height. I will not be surprised if interbasket notorious thread fiction poster rocketstar47 made that mockery.

rocketstar47,seigle42,Joel23 i believe they are only one person .

Fajardo and Slaughter have somehow changed the landscape of Philippine basketball. After AVO are there any promising bigmen in the pipeline? 6'6 to 6'7 forwards are now coming in droves but 6'9 above are arriving in trickle.
