Tweet by Chris Tan... He's not fan of Coach Tab and still doubt of his coaching... Hmmmm!!!!!


Question: is Coach TAB a good coach or is it because of KOUAME? Plus having a good recruitment program. Serious question.. I don't sew anything special from his coaching. Its just he also has the talent pool plus a huge big guy in the middle. Defense made easier..

Lol! Coming from a person na pinakiusap lang ng management para makapasok sa Meralco cause Norman is his step-dad and as soon as he got fired he badmouthed Norman Black and MVP group. Not surprise with him, no wonder twitter is his Job right now.
 
I wonder if Coach Chot can make his DDO integrated to a 5 out offense.

Our Bigs Can attack from the Perimeter (Kai, Ange(if NP), AJ, Japeth) except maybe JMF.

I think Coach Chot will use JC (If NP), Dwight, Thirdy, Perez, and kiefer as the main catalyst of offense.

I hope he involves the Bigs though. But One Solution I can see is Putting our Modern Bigs Outside or In Midrange( Perimeter) than camping in the paint or being an abanger.

That way even if the offense are concentrated on the guards, Bigs can be invloved as a Pick and Roller, Pick and Popper, or an outside threat too in a kickout.

The Bigs Can Cut too when the Guards or Wings Drive. Similar to what Adl did with Kai.

It also open the space for the Guards to operate.

Bigs SHOULD be given the post touches if they have a mismatch though. It is called "Mouse in the house", meaning abandon the play, maximize the mismatch.

So caelum will be the main man with batang gilas. That’s why he didn’t make the seniors.


Chot touched on some of the players he will choose for fiba asia cup in this interview. The college guys and caelum will be in the pool.

He's looked at Carl, Balti, Michael Phillips, Zavier Lucero, and even Sherwin Concepcion.

Man, I hope he considers Oftana in the pool. Could provide size, length, defense, and shooting at the 3.

Maybe,Oftana is still injured???

But yeah, hopefully, so far Alas is the nlex player who is included

Not surprised he likes Sherwin. He likes undersized bigs who can shoot. Hello CBC. But defensively Sherwin will not cut it. I would consider Manzano. He has the potential to be a high energy defensive guy like Pingris.

My biggest surprise was they were looking at a second tall NP prospect to challenge Ange, at least in practice, and they already had someone fly out for a look. For me, If it was just practice, just get someone like Eze.

Realistically a ineligible would be only chance for a new NP by 2023.
The naturalization via congress process is unrealistic to process within a year

I like the idea of a Harper Jr playing alongside Kai. It fills a need around key players, Kai, Dwight, Kiefer and Baltazar

Sa iba ako nagualt kay sherwin concepcion knowing chot hindi..gusto niyan yun mala cbc
 
May Aaron Black coach chot eh kung kulang sa point guard nag outsource ka pa sa japan (kiefer) tapos insist pa si kib hehe.. spare na nga lang for development purposes
 
The problem with the PBA is the agreement that he will not ask players unless they have guaranteed slots. But that is BS because we only get the TNT players as backup options. I agree Black has some potential because he is tall and can play PG. But his release is so low. Regardless, he should give that option as backup to other younger PBA players as well. Heck even the NBA had backup players. And Pop only had 1 of his players.
 
Michael is Fiba ineligible. Lucero is likely ineligible too. Without PBA players for the 3rd window and Asia cup. Who will he get? Maybe the B league boys? But who else? Is Ateneos Daves eligible? Manzano I will give a chance too. But aside from Balti and Carl we lack 6'7 and up guys. Im not sold on Chiu as Kouames backup.

Yup looks like a second naturalization candidate is a more long term benefit and not something that will help in 2023.

Actually if Gilas decides not to use Kouame in 2023 and our only pure center of good level is Kai.
I don't have issues with using Tamayo and Baltazar together at 5 and 4 . While obviously undersize the value of stretching the floor with two 6 8 players is still better than having a liability offensive center who can't defend due to lack of mobility anyway regardless if he's 6'10 is of less value

And I thought I had crazy ideas. Hahahahahaha.

But yeah, this is a reasonable small-ball lineup, given Carl's strength in defending the post and in boxing out (which honestly needs work) and grabbing rebounds for UP, he might just cut it, he won't be a total liability at 4 or 5. Mobile enough for 4, strong enough for 5.

Balti naman will provide help defense. He's not that good 1-on-1, but a good team defender and switcher.

Do you really think guys a frontline of:

C: Kai, AJ
PF: Balti, Tamayo

Will be enough and effective. I think we need one insurance Big. Japeth, JMF, Erram, Or Troy? Personally I will go with Japeth for Mobility. But JMF is probably ok too for post presence and matchups.

But if we gonna play a Very Undersized Perimeter Oriented Lineup like:

PG: Kief, Bolick
SG: JC, Perez, Heading (or Parks)
SF: Dwight, Thirdy(or Oftana)
PF: Baltazar, Tamayo
C: Kai, AJ, Japeth

Then, we would just gonna spam pnr and 5 out offense. All Of these Bigs Can attack fron the Perimeter. Yes, all of them.

I believe these lineup can shoot too.

The problem is size. Since we are classifying Balti and Tamayo as "Bigs", it will make the SF Wings Smaller in Size. Especially if it will be Thirdy over Oftana.

Some will argue JC and Perez are redundant. But I am willing to take the redundancy.

I may choose oftana over heading because if size. But Heading imo is our best local shooter so far.

Kiefer and Bolick are almost locks for me at PG spot.

Parks will be a lock too for me if he will settle things.
 
japeth is a headless chicken in the worlds. Fajardo is a better option as the last big of the bench.

Lol. You really dont like Japeth in any Gilas Iteration. Always calling him Headless chicken. Haha.

Anyways,

I just chose Japeth because of Mobility. We can also Choose Troy Instead.

I am fine with JMF too, but he would probably be limited because he is even worse than our young bigs in PNR Coverage. We saw it when Mikey attacked him.

Pero sabagay, It will mean more mins and responsibility for Kai. Hehe.

I want Kai to be one of the main options by Gilas in 2023 anyway.

No, I don't like the Worlds Japeth. In Asia he has good performances. He can be relied upon against Asian teams but the Worlds seem to shut down the brain of Japeth.

Like for example in 2019, he was a foul machine, shoots 33% FG as a big and.... can you believe it? Registered only 1 block and that's despite averaging over 20 mins per game in 5 games. Don't get me started on Troy's even more abysmal performances...
