Yeah. But maybe a near perfect world in terms of their basketball situation are that of Serbia, Spain, Lithuania, France

What Gilas cadet members are doing? If they will not training outside the country then they should play as guest team in the PBA this coming conference.. They are doing nothing in past several months.. They were wasting time especially Gilas PBA pool members likes of Heading, Navarro, Suerte, etc... playing against Brownlee, Shabazz Muhammad, Moore, McDaniels, Harris, etc.. will be a good training ground for our pool members.. I don't care if PBA will still using their rules, but that opportunity to play against top notch talents will be hard to pass up..
IPC said it well. With the height limit, the chances of Gilas playing look lower, but from what I heard from Tab's interview before, he is totally open to joining the PBA in the 2nd conference. If there is no training abroad set up, then I think playing in the PBA will be the best option for our guys. Maybe they can make an exception for Kouame. I think it would be better if the SBP did both; play a few games in the PBA and then fly abroad for training.

I say Gilas should play in the PBA 2nd Conference (if the team has nothing else to do then better play against PBA teams than to remain idle), then train abroad by the middled or late January next year. I think Kume Marcial have already said a couple of times that PBA is very open to the idea of accepting Gilas as a guest team in the 2nd conference. That I think makes sense since PBA is aware of the many Gilas followers who will probably follow the team's stint in the PBA. Kumbaga magbe benefit din naman ang PBA doon.

They were exposed against MENA teams and Dom. Rep., Guys like Shabbazz, Brownlee, KJ and Moore are perfect training ground for them to handle athletic wings of other countries...
Sa bagay, they need more exposure against the likes of Shabazz, Brownlee, and KJ. All athletic wings. More experience in defending them will be crucial. We'll be facing plenty of them in the FIBA Asia Cup, with the Middle East teams, China, and even SoKor and Japan. Bigs kasi, I think the team kinda has that covered with Kai and Kouame, along with Tamayo and Baltazar.
Hopefully Tab can call up new faces and test them, whether in the PBA or in FIBA or overseas.

Yeah, they were, and that’s the beauty of a developmental young team. The ugly parts of the game can help the SBP and the coaching staff decide and modify. Our guards in the ACQ-OQT are young, and games like these will fast track their growth. It was unfortunate that better players were not available at that time. I think with a Kiefer/Bolick in the OQT plus an uninjured Dwight, we could have arguably finished the impossible against Serbia and better defended the quick guards of the DR.

I agree, Gilas' inclusion will surely boost the PBA numbers. I haven’t followed the PBA since the 2015 fiasco. If they play in the PBA, I will surely follow them in that conference.

Well, the PBA's still open to including Gilas: https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/...s-in-govs-cup-still-stands-says-vargas/224436
I hope they make an exception for Kouame. Kasi, height limit and all.

It doesn't make any sense for the PBA to prohibit Kouame from playing with Gilas on its PBA stint. Is the PBA scared of Gilas? Come on, Gilas doesn't look that formidable without Kai, Dwight Ramos, Thirdy Ravena, Kobe Paras.
Is SMB scared that Kouame might make Junmar Fajardo run for his money at the center spot? Is Ginebra so worried that Kouame might make miserable for Standhardinger inside the shaded lane? If PBA decides to prohibit Kouame from playing for Gilas in the PBA, then we know which party/team/empire is behind it.

Even without Kai, Dwight, Thirdy, and Kobe, there are still a couple of high-upside players in Gilas. Tamayo and Baltazar, and maybe Abarrientos. Pero upside pa lang, not current talent. Plus, the impact of Kai and Dwight in the FIBA Asia qualifiers and the OQT, I dunno if that can easily be replaced.
It's imperative that Tab gets a good roster to prepare if they plan to participate.

I want to see Cholo Anonuevo in Gilas uniform for Gilas' stint in the PBA. Also I want to see Allain Bulanadi's mettle.

I also like to see Capt. Go for Gilas. He was a stabilizing presence in that.

If the PBA is keen on helping Gilas and not doing this as a publicity stunt, then it should have no problems whatsoever as to whoever the SBP wants to field in, including Kouame.

Dami arte ng GILAS, pinasali na nga gusto pa manalo lol.
Perhaps they could offer a compromise and sit Kouame a la Slaughter in crucial moments against SMC teams

Haha that'd be hilarious. I actually feel for most PBA teams knowing how scarce quality bigs are in the PBA. Up to now, we are still seeing 6’ 4”-6’ 5” guys manning the slot. But not having Kouame on the Gilas roster when he is being groomed as one of the pillars of 2023 is such abwaste. But yeah, better than nothing. But running your plays and defensive schemes with Go or Chiu in lieu of Ange, Kai or Edu simply won’t do. Simply different dynamics.

I'll do you better, PBA heads should just be direct with SBP in the first place and tell them that there would be no chance for Gilas to be included in the playoffs even if they sweep the eliminations, kinda like the Jordan B Team's recent participation in this year's King Abdullah Cup.
Siguro naman na it'd be enough of a compromise na just for the Gilas boys to have some serious court burn.

I agree, this is the best compromise. Gilas gets to play Kouame and the rest of the guys while PBA teams' championship chances are not affected, plus a boost of viewership from the Gilas fans.

I'm not kidding when I say there are tons of people now who knows who Thirdy, Dwight, Kai, Kobe, Kiefer, etc is but don't know who Junemar is. Crazy how even my younger cousins and nieces are liking and commenting on posts regarding GILAS and our Bleague imports who are not even casual basketball fans. To think these names used to be only familiar to a members of this forum and other sites.. a lot has changed in the last 2 years

I forgot to mention Dave Ildefonso, he's easily one of the higher-upside players I see in this Gilas group. The fact that he's learning to play point (as shown in the King's Cup); if he perfects it, he'll be tough to stop. Just needs to polish his scoring.
Man, I hope more high-upside players take the Gilas invitation.

Dave needs to practice playmaking if he wants to be PG. But I think his skill set is more of a SG than a PG.
Btw, Raven Cortez and Kevin Quiambao should be invited again next gilas call up. Last time, they were excused because of academic reasons.
I think the second one where quiambao was invited, he said in IG that he cant because he is in an out of country vacation trip.lol
Sayang, Raven and Quiambao can be twins of Tamayo and Balti in terms of playstyle.
