Philipps is even more skilled than Ping.
probably when they were both in college. pingris' post game & defensive skills were way better when he started playing for gilas, very high BBIQ player
Pingris was all brawn and physical abilities before his injury IRC. He was a top pick but got moved right? After his ACL surgery he slimmed down and focused more on defense. Ping though is a home grown. I dont think he good skills development in college. US though should be more competitive. I am not sure why Philipps doesnt seem to have much skill. Well maybe his wingspan and athleticism were enough for him. Well even up to now.
played above the rim in college and early pro years, but already had good defensive instincts by then. iirc he actually bulked up or should i say strengthened up when he started getting injured regularly and developed a ground-based post game
People need to realize , one of the most critical skill sets for bigs , is MOTOR ! You don't have that , and you're rather limited regardless of skill set developed, the unfortunate reality is many of our bigs do not have a motor, and as such the Philippines has a reputation of being a weak rebounding and in defense (as the frontline are the anchors and are forced to switch to the perimeter in FIBA)
Sadly uaap teams and it imports do have a below average motor tahts why motor mike Philips excelled in the league and not their import.. Ncaa do have high motor bigs but they have a height of an overweight point guard..

For the growth of promising Filipino basketball players, KBL is good, and B League is good only for money. This is an irrefutable fact. #GilasYouth #GilasPilipinasBasketball
Bahay should just go to ateneo, they could use a point guard lol, his pals gamber and mason are already there, not to mention his ateneo de cebu teammates plus all the PG minutes he can have. Beside's its been proven that talent alone on a stacked team cant win you a championship, why not learn from one of the best coaches to ever do it in the uaap while he's still there. This game pretty much shows how overrated coach gold is anyways, besides not calling the shots on defense, doesnt make necessary adjustments leading to questionable playcalling. Imagine not winning it all with that stacked team geez.
Shows that you need offensive adjustments. Man, can't just ride the defense all season.
Young coach pa naman si Goldwin, but he has to expand his playbook.
If Goldwin's to coach Gilas, it's best as an assistant muna just because of defense.
