Jeff Withey

- Upcoming rookie.The New Orleans Pelicans signed him so he'll be a legit NBA player soon (good thing, bad thing).Was originally the 39th pick of the Portland TrailBlazers. These are not sure go players since they have to be asked first if they want to be naturalized.This only serves an Idea on who or what type of player we need to be naturalized.

Height 7'0 (6'10.75'' without shoes)

Standing Reach 9'.25''

Wingspan 7'2''

Weight 222 lbs

College Kansas

College Stats

PPG 13.7, RPG 8.5, APG 0.9, FG% 58.2, FT% 71.4, BPG 3.9

positives

- spent 4 years in College, fundamentals should be solid.Would require minimal polishing
- 23 years old. perfect age for a naturalization candidate.
- signed by the New Orlean Pelicans but wouldn't be as expensive as Javale Mcgee
- perfect height and size, pretty mobile,athletic for a 6'11 guy.perfect for the ddo
- appear to have a better attitude tha Mcgee.
- defensive monster averages almost 4 blocks a game

negatives

-not much of an experience
-might develop and become a future starter,would be hard to get him if he gets a higher pay.
-doesn't have some sort of outside touch
-needs more upper body strength
-as of today Javale Mcgee is better than this guy

He just turned 10 years old, but Lebron James Jr has the potential to become the number 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Maybe MVp and Coach Tab can go to the US, and offer him a future Smart Gilas Contract.

Antonio said the SBP has the go-signal to assemble a pool of naturalized players. “Andray will always be at the top of the list but we’ll reserve him for the big events,” he said. “We’re looking at recruiting naturalized players to live in the Philippines. They’ll be resident imports. Depending on the tournaments, we’ll pick from the pool whom to play. Our mold is a four or five player, maybe at least 6-10.

if we could have 5 naturalized players,including Blatche,who are your choices?

Jordan Bachynski — Westchester Knicks
Vitals: 26-years-old, 7-2, 254 pounds
Stats: 26.0 minutes, 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds & 2.7 blocks on 59.4% FG

My affinity for Bachynski should be well-known by now, but personal bias aside he deserves a shot in NBA. He went undrafted in 2014 and then took a brief trip to Turkey before realizing that situation wasn’t for him. He joined the Westchester Knicks last year during their inaugural season and never really gained traction as a legitimate center.

This offseason he went to training camp with the Detroit Pistons and though he was waived, he came into the D-League season with a renewed confidence, which is evident in his play. The consistency he’s able to provide on the low block, both on offense and defense, for Westchester cannot be overlooked. He’s very long and uses that length to his advantage, averaging 2.7 blocks per game. He still gets out of position from time-to-time going after blocks but that’s par for the course with shot blockers throughout history.



note: the guy already played for Canada in the universiade games.eligibility questionable.
 
Because of his height, age and the fact that he's new to the game, If Prince Orizu continues to develop ( just like Belo developed from his first year in FEU to graduating) it's possible that Prince could actually be an option in like 3 years from now.

Obviously it helps his current team's coaches are Gilas coaches

As a third or fourth option maybe.Honestly, I'd take Justin Brownlee of Ginebra over Orizu or even Ben Mbala.They basically are of the same height(or maybe an inch shorter).Brownlee has D-league experience not to mention the guy has already played import in mexico.Experience,three point shooting,dribbling skills will be his edge over the two collegiate players.Although the two is obviously younger than him.
 
hmm, this is ticky, cause you don't want to get someone whose so good (already developed) that he will play in the NBA and not be available. also as mentioned the next tier down (European players) who are good are likely to have play for al least their respective junior national team.
I think really part of the process has to include tying him out (like CJ miles or Marcus) cause it's hard to make a call without seeing how he fits in the team both in terms of playing style and attitude.
 
Speaking of fitting and playing alongside Junmar however and can shoot 3's , this guy I think is a prospect. http://www.nbadraft.net/players/kamaka-hepa who we might not necessary have to naturalized through congress. Additionally he's long term a good ( 12 - 15 years of service) , yes I know he didn't get a passport or was not interested. but if you offer him $ , that's different , his mind will change
 
for me, it is a wrong viewpoint to look at european style bigs. For me, the PHL NT should have a more traditional PF/C player who is a great, and more defensive oriented - Individual and team player; He is a very active rebounder; has great passing skills; above average dribbling skills for his position; excellent Free throw shooter; has a mid range game; has good block selection; very high BBIQ. of course he should be strong, granted that his position is PF/C - in short, someone in the mold of Tim Duncan or like a younger, more active Udonis Haslem, if you want to be more realistic.

As I said before, filipino players like imports that complement them and leads by example. There is no better way to do that than if you are a really great defender. this is like saying I got your backs men! Pinoys respond to that well.

In this wise, we can maximize junemar, japhet, belo, terrence, abueva, lee, and even rosario's abilities. Of course, it would be better if our naturalized player has some 4-5 moves that we can go to, if we need to score. Well timmy has only a few real moves and the rest where just depending on how his opponents react, and yet he was HIGHLY effective. I think, udonis haslem type of players can do that as well.
 
Before I consider Embala as candidate but after knowing that he is just a shade under 6'7, I remove him from my list. If only he was at least 6'9 we can consider him as a candidate, but he is to short as a center. What we need is a "Tall, defensive presence and rebounding presence."

By the way I was thinking, can we include Nerlens Noel of Sixers as a candidate? He is a very good shotblocker and rebounder, a hard working type of a player. I'm not sure if he already played for Team USA in there youth team, if not then he is a perfect candidate.
 
We need an Anthony Davis like height and strength to naturalize but also can play outside game like Andrey Blatche.I think Blatche is fitted into Gilas system,because when it comes in playing with Iran with Hadaddi he is the answer not like with Douthit who is not effective playing on perimeter shots,though Douthit is a good post up player.
 
If we are to get a naturalized player that plays the 4 spot then he must have the skill-set of an Andray Blatche. I'm not saying he should be as good as Blatche. We have to remember, Blatche is a legitimate NBA star, so his skill level must really be up there. What I'm saying is someone who has a decent outside shot & can put the ball on the floor w/ ease & be able to strongly drive to the lane. That player must be around 6-foot-8 to 6-foot-9.

Now if we are to get a naturalized player who plays center like Marcus Douthit, I think that player must be at least 7-footer & must be strong & physical. That's becoz if that player will only be 6-10 or 6-9, he won't be able to neutralized a 7-foot-2 Hamed Hadadi or a 7-foot-3 Zhou Qi.

I think Gilas 3.0 was able to beat Iran in last year's FIBA Asia Championship is becoz Blatche was able to neutralize Hadadi at the post, while Hadadi couldn't keep in step w/ Blatche operating in the perimeter.

I agree wit this. There is a lot of Asian seven footers that could emerge and be really competitive.We want someone who could dominate the Asian scene at least.Maybe a 6'11 guy who could play either the forward or the center position but fast enough to run with the rest of the team and big stop the opposing seven footers .Maybe a good NBADL or Euro league import player would be enough to make the spot.
 
a European naturalized player is a new idea, it may or may not work.Although basketball this era is now a global game, we must accept the fact that the Americans are still well up there.As much as I want a very good European player, it is possible that there is 5-8 Americans that could beat him to the spot.Although I understand the economics on why Chot would want to settle for a European player, I am not discounting the fact that an American import could make the cut.

why Americans?

its because there are a lot of American players that cannot play for the US national team while the best European Basketball players are more likely to get a call up on the national team.that simple.
 
Question if the premise is to get a naturalized player who can play alongside Junmar as Chot mentioned , then should we get a 4 (PF) or a 5 (center) ?
