So what the reason why Bulandi was not included again in the roster?
Masyadong loaded schedule ng gilas next year.. sbp should expand that pool because mapapagod players natin.. Yung seagames eh bigay na Yan sa pba selection.. even walang praktis eh Kaya na daw nila Yan (hope that Thailand or Indonesia will upset that squad para matauhan)..

FIBA Asia cup will be scheduled by July 2022, right after the 3rd window of WC qualifiers (June 27-July 5)...

I think this a good timing which would make Kai Sotto more likely available for that tournament. Kasi kung sa August next year na schedule yung Asia Cup, Kai might already be busy in attending NBA summer leagues by that time.
Also, by that time, summer vacation na sa US which would also make guys like AJ Edu, Cholo Anonuevo & Dalph Panopio available.
Except for games with PBA teams. Those are virtually useless unless they have 2 imports each. Playing with PBa rules is ridiculous when you are preparing for FIBA rules. Besides hindi papayag ang PBA na mapahiya. For sure the refs will rig the calls just like when Toroman coached Gilas 1 in the PBA. Remember the Arboleda incident/
Well games with the PBA are better compared to their own scrimmages in their bubble training. You are right about the purpose of it being useless if they stick with PBA rules though but I believe that they are not that incompetent. About the incident in the toroman gilas, it is much better to set that aside. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Gilas should be regularly tested whether it is in pocket tournaments, PBA games or both.
only if they compete as a regular team with a chance to play for d title.
d title does not matter, but it would make d pba teams take d game seriously. kasi kung exhibition lang e pwede nayang close-door sa gym.
fiba rule or not, it will contribute to their development, especially for d 9 gilas pros (and even d college players in case college games are still prohibited early next year).
d pba stint can provide opportunity for mastery of d system, building cohesion and chemistry, and competing in games with high stakes for d opponents. it will also allow gilas players to practice their defense against teams dependent on star players.
What rule that PBA has that will be so problematic in adapting Fiba rules?
Physical play is one based of fans here rhey wanna see physical no blood no foul type plays. The pba has adjusted to that. Far cry from fiba which is the medium and the nba which favors the offensive player
You have a point, I do think that if there are no pocket tournaments available then the best course of action would be to join the PBA but I do believe that pocket tournaments will be available so I am leaning more on maximizing their preparations. Maybe a close door exhibition would be better like you said, or weekly games because A full commitment to the PBA will not allow them to fly out for pocket tournaments.
I mean prior to this Tab Baldwin team that actually doesn’t foul so often to the point Koreans suspected foul play. Look at history of Gilas in international games and how often the team goes into the penalty first

Yeah, the leeway given is seen by the fouls committed in games.
Even in the first FIBA Asia qualifying window, we committed a lot of reach-in fouls. And furthermore, kahit sa PBA, a number of teams get into the penalty quite early.
