Yup. 8 ppg in HS. The upside is obvious but hopefully one does not put too much expectations. He could easily end up being a modern Mike Hrabak.

Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum with SBP executive director Sonny Barrios on issues surrounding PH basketball
I haven't seen it yet, so I can't say much. The highest-ranking SBP official to come forward since the SEA Games fiasco.

He found a problem with it: https://tbti.me/s22fq2
He says that it's an ongoing concern in the SBP.
Well, they're available for FIBA tournaments proper, while the PBA doesn't have that same consideration for the FIBA calendar.

You need an academy for both players and coaches. SBP should hire Nenad, Tab, and other good foreign coaches for that academy type program, to mentor the coaches and the players.

Per Sonny Barrios, CCR will be back for the Asia Cup. Plus, CCR is supervising Nenad right now regarding the 3rd window.

Well he is probably lying. I would guess it is true that the SBP was reassessing the program before sticking with Chot. That being said it is really toxic. One person here was jokingly wishing Chot committed seppuku. I wonder what other more toxic avenues had to offer.

Well, I think people here in IBN don't expect Konov to be some sort of an NBA material (like what some of us here expected from Kobe Paras). But Konov might turn out be the more serviceable small forward for Gilas in FIBA competition than Kobe Paras.

Because basketball federations of these countries get it and knows what needs to be done to become international powerhouses in FIBA (pwera ang JPN, they need to consistently win first against Asian powers without their NBA players).
While SBP, on the hand...

SBP never understood it. SBP's idea of development is herding players towards Ateneo. Of course that isn't a good idea if one wants a united basketball program..

because the boomers in the PBA board still thinks that the PBA is the best league in Asia and is second only to the NBA (in terms of age) hay, the board lacks self awareness

Lack of no-nonsense but genuinely, well-meaning critiquing from revered figures of the sport.
Then again, it doesn't matter, really. Any sport here in the PHL that has a wide mass appeal and has the potential to become a commercial hit, it's just carried by overhyping.

People/institutions with vested interests on the sport are still very much needed for the advancement of the program (can't deny that) but in the end, they really are a huge pain in the ass of the collective Filipino basketball fandom.
