I hope the Edu vs Kouame fantasy comps gets some clarity now. Edu should be at least AT the level of Kouame, if not better. I tend to believe Edu would be the better FIBA player if only for his ability to defend the PnR effectively in VARIOUS ways. With all these “depth” in the C/F spots (with Kai, Junemar and Japeth creating the logjam), I think Edu should at least be good enough to supplant both Junemar and Japeth for majority of minutes, for us to be really a team capable of pulling an upset. Anything less than that level will only mean we have to deal with extended runs from Junemar and Japeth.
Personally, i’d love to see how this pecking order pans out. This is one of those times you wish Tamayo didn’t pull out. We have a gaping hole on the sf/pf type of players. Malonzo would do, but fromthereon, Dwight would be the next best bet. I really don’t think It’d cut it, esp againg Italy and DR. Fontecchio of Italy would have a field day against us. That’s almost a guarantee. Not saying having the likes of Tamayo and Balti would do the job, but they should be the closest to offering some kind of resistance. Right now, I’m just glad Malonzo sort of developed his 3. At least we can afford to give him extended runs.

When Edu will be use by Chot? He can be a big help for Gilas, Why Chot still using Fajardo and Japeth more?

They he is not healthy enough. Kouame will probably play though when he arrives.

I think Edu isn't in game shape yet becoz of that minor sprain he sustained recently. Perhaps coach Chot doesn't want to field a not-in-game-shape AJ Edu knowing how risky it is for an injury-prone player like Edu to play while being out of game shape. Maybe in a week time Edu will be able to play.

I strongly believe that for the post 2023 World Cup period, AJ Edu will be more serviceable for our national team than our veteran Gilas big men like Junmar, Japeth, Poy Erram or Almazan. It boils down to AJ Edu playing injury-free. That is the key.

WC being 1 and half months away , AJs lack of fitness is a huge concern, we can't expect a player to go from zero activity to 100 %. It's kind of a given that if ever AJ makes the team , it wi be a significantly limited role,
back up center (10 mins max)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking/expecting. Come to think of it, with Kai as our starting center & Junmar most probably making the team (there's that pressure from the PBA people on coach Chot not to leave out the 6-time PBA MVP), AJ Edu would probably the 3rd man at the 5 position, though AJ can also play the 4.
At the 4 spot, with Carl Tamayo begging off, I expect Japeth to be there & Malonzo.
So the way I see it, our frontline would be made up of Kai, Junmar & AJ Edu at the center spot, and Japeth & Malonzo at the 4 spot.

Pretty realistic expectations but I would lean more than that mpg. I’m thinking, and hoping, Edu comes in as a 13-15 mins kind of guy. Nothing fancy but right where his Toledo season was.
I don’t think Edu is that way off as far as being in game shape is concerned. I’m banking on an optimistic notion that Edu is smart enough to keep himself in shape and not put to waste the gains and strides he made since coming back from multiple injuries. I think he could actually peak right in time for the WC.

I definitely would love to see Kai and Edu together again on that hardcourt. Probably one of the biggest what ifs in youth level competitions.Yeah, that's what I'm thinking/expecting.

feels like zeinab is holding BRP hostage and we need SBP to ask her to allow Parks to finally join the team. Very Yoko Ono, lol

a socmed influencer/ vlogger, was once in a relationship with a rapper (had a kid with that rapper). In short, a 3rd world version of the Kardashians
and while Gilas is in Europe training, pictures of the couple attending the Bruno Mars concert last week and PDA photos in bars were circulating in socmed. Benefit of the doubt, maybe Parks is indeed still injured

tbf i think ramos & malonzo are still better than heading & parks in general although those 2 are the best 3pt shooters in the pool

zeinab is important because he almost plays the Newsomes role, Headings role, dwights role and hopefully cjs role (if he plays and finishes hard)..thats almost 4 roles(even if its minor) in one player..
