sga should get qmb. his season is already finished.
There are unconfirmed reports that SGA is firming up its preparation for Dubai Internationals this coming February 2025 by securing services of Dwight Howard. The are still finalising their negotiation with another superstar DRose. Expected to come back for them are Rhenz Abando and Jason Brickman. They are also talking with Meralco about getting Kouame on loan. Enticing C.Hermoso to come out from retirement for a final hurrah. Also sending queries to Bennie Boatwright, Kamaka Hepa and Remy Macaspac if they are available.
Super OT:
Congrats to the Philippine Men's National Football Team for advancing to the Semis of the 2024 AFC Mitsubishi Electric Cup ( ASEAN Championships) .
The team was undefeated but also winless in the group stages as they drew all their matches. They needed to win vs Indonesia at Jakarta , and win they did, 1-0.
They will face powerhouseThailand in the semis.
Congrats to us.

I believe this is pretty much accurate. Jordan is doing well so far. Let's how he will fare later against Thompson and Ahanmisi. Too bad Holt is injured as I was looking forward with his matchup against Heading.
well, Heading (though he didnt pop off but provided stability for Converge) with Schonny and Stockton just torched Thompson and Ahanmisi, Holt was there too but most likely not 100% but yeah in PBA side, the Converge boys are better... for now.
Good Day Sir r1ck,
Jordan Heading is indeed headed to the A-team without the doubt hoping no major injuries for the coming months in preparation for 2025 FIBA-Asia
as for Justine Baltazar, the talent is there and he already shows he can compete at the world level but we all know he hasn't settled nor adjusted yet to the PBA life.
just like Joshua Munzon, once he calm his thing, we will see what stuff he is really made of.
I doubt if he will ended up like Rommel Adducul, Sam Eman or worse Enrico Villanueva and Rich Alvarez who until there retirement to the game hasn't improve that much
" lahat sila mga bano pa rin sa free throw line and always a liable in offense and defense, madalas lagi pang nasa foul trouble". trans. lack of work ethics.
the likes of Christian David, Kai Balunggay, Keith Datu, Zav Lucero among others should play first in a non-sanctioned tourney like SEAG and hopefully AG
CTC and all SBP stakeholders are talking about nowadays about " adapting to the system".
that's the key.
Sir Fil,
the only significant contribution both for JC and Stephen as far as Gilas Basketball are concern is to parade them for the coming 2026 AG or hopefully depending on their physical condition 2030 edition as well.
I think having those 2 hafus in the line-up we could somehow provide some fighting chance to defend our AG thrones if ever host JAP will parade their own A-Team plus Hachi and Yuta.
claiming medals of any colors on both SEAG and AG brings proud to the country and feels great watching the winning moments and at the same time monitoring the Medal Tally every now and then brings some elements of excitement and thrill during the course of the Games.
with the possible entry of Oceania teams like AUS and NZL to participate in some events like basketball wherein the OCA already approve their participation a few years ago.
in fact they could parade some delegates in Hangzhou AG but due to some political issues with CHI they decided to skip that edition.
who knows maybe they could send some delegates on 2026 considering those Oceania teams are political allies as far as the Indo-Pacific storyline alongside PHI, US, JAP, IND, SK among others.
as for JM's possible exemption moving forward, having played in a domestic and international tourney representing PHI such as ABL, PBA D-League, Chooks 3x3 and now in the PBA as a "LOCAL"
that's a good and substantial merit for him.
besides there's a provision in the FIBA guidebook that stated:
Chapter 1: Eligibility, National Status Availability of Players
Players With Two or More Nationalities
17. Any Player who has played (i.e appeared on the final team delegation roster) in a main official competition of FIBA (including a FIBA 3x3 competition) for a national team for which the player is eligible is considered as having chosen the national team of that country.
I stand to be corrected.
as far as I know JM obtained his PH docs when he is 22 yrs. old or barely 23 yrs. old
and as per FIBA, there's a 23 yr. old policy to those players who wants to change allegiance or NF but on the case of JM he hasn't played in any sanctioned tourney in any U16 or U18 team
as for 28 yr. old Sedric, at least he is now playing in a domestic league fully recognize by FIBA as a "LOCAL"
so let's start from that..just trust the process and just continue accumulating all the necessary merits and see what will happen after LA 2028.
With the looming arrival of Pineda as Converge’s head coach in forthcoming Philippine Cup expect more playing time for his protege Balti. The team’s offence may shifted from current 3-guard approach (Heading, Winston and Stockton) to interior offence focus on Balti…
SBP’s maneuvers leading to 2027 FIBA World Cup I believe are more crucial. If they expedite application for re-classication on players in bulk like M.Philips, Kouame, Munzon, Stockton and Ballungay then it can further deepen our NT pool.
Road to L.A. 2028 is more daunting than Doha 2027. In Olympics there only one slot allocated for Asia and if Japan will field their full A team then it’s theirs. Moreover most players want to enjoy the glitters of Tilseltown city and want to be part of it. Atm they Japan are the best in Asia and the window of their current golden generation may last beyond 2028 Olympic cycle. Hence, 2027 FIBA World Cup qualification is more feasible for Gilas.
with Boogie in, SGA are also targeting Dray Blatche, DJ Fenner, Dave Ildefonso and Allen Liwag.
So if DJ Fenner will join the draft alongside QMB, who will likely the top pick?
QMB should go number one unless Kamaka Hepa miraculously starts lovig adobo.
QMB should go number one unless Kamaka Hepa miraculously starts lovig adobo.
Will definitely happen when overseas career has ended.
I think QMB will still be the top pick. Iba pa rin yung value ng 6-foot-10 big man. As good a wingman (& a good size wingman as that) Fenner is, he's already 31 yrs old. QMB on the other hand is only 23 or 24 yrs old.
Not a guarantee. His Fiba qualification has yet to be confirmed. He probably has a father who is not Filipino. So that leaves out B league and KBL. So PBA is the only option.
Boogie Ellis?
