Theres a reason why his b league team and Gilas was losing when he was the top guard

Dwight isn't really a go-to-guy type. But he's perfect as a complimentary player. In a national team set-up in which there's an abundance of talent & the naturalized is a Clarkson or a Brownlee or a Blatche type, Dwight would really thrive.

Sir Jams,

Another young player that I thing could be a perfect complimentary player is Kevin Quiambao, I think he has the orientation to be that way. All he needs is more experience and hopefully he may be included in the next window and beyond that.

Yeah, KQ is ripe for a Gilas stint right now. He really has been working hard to polish his game, in particular his 3-pt. shooting which has been improving. Although he started out playing as a big man, I think Quiambao can play as a 3 right now. Hope he polishes his perimeter defense which would be decent enough for the Asian level. One impressive aspect of his game is his passing which could suggest a very good court awareness.

I actually wasn't that impressed on Quiambao last year. But seeing his games with La Salle in the current UAAP, I feel he's the best college player in Phi basketball right now.

I actually think the opposite, his value isnt as a complimentary shooting piece. He shots 28% from 3. I actually prefer BRP over Dwight for that reason. We don't have many good shooters.

I remember Dwight being compared with Thirdy on who was better during the Ateneo days. Dwight has come a long way

I was actually mocked when I suggested Dwight will be better than Kobe Paras, when that 23 for 23 list came out
in January 2020 had a conversation with Tab, he suggested Dwight is the best guard in the Philippines, I didn't believe him, not so unbelievable now.

I remember way back in 2020 & 2021 a poster here saying that Dwight Ramos is being overhyped by some posters here. I wonder what that poster here has to say now?

About Dwight Ramos, I actually didn't expect much from Dwight Ramos, though I expected him to be serviceable for Gilas. Of course nobody was expecting naman that Dwight would be as an explosive a scorer as a Justin Brownlee or a Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. My expectation on Dwight was he would be a slightly less inferior on defense than a prime Gabe Norwood but with a significantly better offensive game than Norwood, which I think would be good enough for Gilas.

I think he compliments a scorer like Clarkson,
he's more a Pippen than a Jordan

Dwight's value is on his all-around game, like a Pippen, like sir DAdmiral said.​​ Defense, moving the ball around, hustle, secondary or tertiary scorer.​​ More shot creator than pure shooter.​ Honestly, if both him and Parks are available, I'd take both in a heartbeat.

As for his shooting, he shoots better in the NT than in his club. 32% in the NT, 27% in club basketball. Kind of like Thirdy, actually.
 
The problem Dwight isnt playing like pippen, he is playing like a disgruntled star player shoots ill advised threes, sucks out the game of all his teammates.. if he cant play like a Andres Nocioni or gabriel deck where he should get his points from hustle and inside points..

For now, the so-called x's and o's are already there, all he needs now is a constant exposure and experience at the international level to make him the contemporary player we as a fan are expecting..One of the thing I like about the kid is that he is a system player and will certainly blossom with a good coach who had a better program, unfortunately DDO Sr. doesn't know how to use the kid during that forgettable FIBA-Asia Cup.
 
Everyone will be surprised to know if who is the other player who rreportedly "asked for the moon" to play for Gilas in the Asian Games. Yung unang na confirm who asked for the moon is Mikey Williams.

The other one is playing in Japan who is a 6-foot-5 wingman & a certified babe magnet.

Dweet Ramos? Wtf! It's the result of SBP paying too much TF to JC & Kai. Expect other prospects to follow suit in the future. I hope this won't hurt our Gilas program.​

Parang sya nga based on the clues provided by a youtube vlogger: walnut & the Golden Gate Bridge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Ramos
He played high school basketball at Walnut & he was born in West Covina, California which is near Golden Gate.
 
As Ive said before the only reason these guys get to play in Japan is because of pinoy pride. Playing for the country is only a fair trade-off.

The sad reality is you'd rather have a flawed program with money then an idealistic program without it.

Well, under Al Panlilio, we have a non-idealistic program with no money plus an incompetent SBP President.
 
We might not see dwight ramos in gilas uniform for a while, im sure na turn off si CTC and Chua.for that demand.

Let's see if the PBA doesn't force itself without committing to the program. They committed for the WC windows, let's see if they follow through in succeeding big tournaments like the OQT, the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup, and the 2027 WC. If they want to be involved, they need to commit, adjust the sked if necessary.

Also, let's see if the overseas guys. Money or not, we need them for youth. Our best young players are in college or overseas. I'm not counting players like Ken Tuffin, Will Navarro, Jamie Malonzo, and Calvin Oftana, because they're 26-27, which is prime years, although they're relatively new players in the PBA. The players mentioned should still be in consideration, though.
