I can understand that Douthit, Blatche even JB might be too good for our locals but is Ange really that much of a threat? He could go to an independent team not a farm team who won't trade him for peanuts so he could join up with Jap/CS/JF/Tautua
Well, PBA have to protect locals, Ange might be a threat for Junmar's GOAT status...

With the way he's playing right now in France,they might just be justified in their paranoia.I still hope they tap him during offseason.

Is that top French league? Or just a minor league?

3rd division.
What do you think about level of competitiveness? Is that better than CBA, B-League or NBL? It’s like PSL in the Philippines right? Assuming PBA is 1st division while MPBL is a 2nd division level in the Philippine basketball…

I think the level of competition in the French pro league where Kouame is playing isn't far behind the level of competition in the B-league, PBA or KBL. It might be slightly less competitive than B-league, KBL ,& PBA. But I think the key here is Kouame gets the exposure playing against good size opponents in the French division 3 Pro league (especially among the locals) as compared to the smaller size opponents Kouame will be playing against if he plays in the PBA, B-league & KBL.

I guess Brownlee's 3-month suspension from basketball is a blessing in disguised as he is able to rest his body from wear & tear, plus he is able to heal his foot injury (remember, he played hurt in the 2023 Asian Games which is the reason he ingested prohibited substance to minimise the pain of the foot injury). I think with his age, those few months of complete rest would be vital to prolong his basketball career.

Next window is only two games too. He's got plenty of time to rest till the OQT and the last two ACQ windows.
I just hope he gets to play his natural SF position.

I think the level of play in the French 3rd division is ahead of that in China, so that's good exposure for Ange.

Yeah, I like Brownlee play more as a 3 with Gilas. Malonzo or Tamayo as 4's, & Brownlee as the 3.
With Quiambao in the floor, they can actually interchange with Brownlee as a 4 while Quiambao as a 3, then they can switch with Brownlee as a 3 while KQ slides to the 4 spot.

Yes, really. The players in the French 3rd division are still at a pretty good level.

For a country that constantly produces NBA/US NCAA/G-League/Euroleague talents, it won't surprise me if their 3rd division pro league will be ranked only just slightly lower or even at par with the CBA and its ex-NBA import-laden ball clubs.

For me, Brownlee needs to play after 1st window to erase the rust after 4 month hiatus in basketball.. he needs to be in game shape for tougher OQT games ahead.. maybe a short term contract by either B-League, KBL or IBL to condition himself… Boss Al will likely allow JB to play elsewhere from March - June.. joining practices in Ginebra is not enough for conditioning… he needs to be in shape.. marami nga nagsasabi na tumaba sya eh…

CBA is still ahead than B league bro and 3rd division French league level is like the British league in Europe…British league (BBL) is one of the lowest competition league in Europe (not surprising since British doesn’t like basketball at all)

The way Kouame has been playing lately,he should be going to the next level to test his skills further.

That's why I used China as the reference point, not the B.League.

JB is being celebrated online,vloggers heap praises on him,even say he's the cause why Chinese players were mad for losing their bonus.Its just my opinion but it looks they're almost erasing Kouame's big contribution on that team,the way the're talking and comments on those channels.like Kouame was just a bench warmer.

JB was reason number one for that comeback.
However, lest we forget, Ange was reason number two, or even 1B. JB's explosion wouldn't matter if he didn't anchor our defense. Like sir Rds said, we were giving up baskets with June Mar on the floor, even with JB there. But there.
Kinda frustrating that he's being disregarded by the fans and some media guys, considering that of our pool of NP's right now, he's the next best fit after JB and JC.
