DLSU will have a stronger FSA but lose all their capable PGs and KQ's future is still in question.
UP still loaded but with Diouf gone I doubt they will be as dominant as they are next season.
​Ateneo will lose their FSA, Balunggay and are still lacking in the guard positions
NU will be coming back with their core intact but without a capable go to guy I think it will be hard for them to even make it to the finals.
Adamson (no more Jerom Lastimosa), FEU (no more LJ Gonzales) and UE (reliance on one and dones) will be on the outside looking in
And then we have UST and the comebacking Padrigao, what can they do with a full year to prepare and full funding of Long Hair
 
DLSU has a lot of scorers but no court general and playmaker. Good luck. If Mike leaves, they will also lose an athletic energy bunny.

where's the buzz about Mike leaving from? I'm sure Kuya Ben's out and Isiah is prolly just the human confetti for this year's team, but what's with the Mike rumor?

I'm actually excited about how Rubico and Melencio would fit in the team next year. Also, I'm really impressed with Gollena in the games he played. Hopefully, Earl becomes more reliant. Maybe both Gollena and Earl learn to play as big PGs? They look capable for as long as they do have that work ethic
 
If KQ stays in DLSU, they should be the favorites. If he changes his mind, I don't know if there is a favorite.

I don’t get it either. Mike is a college junior and has said multiple times that he’s determined to finish his studies. Recently in an interview he even said he’ll stay in dlsu for as long as they want him to.

Of the DLSU PGs in the pipeline, it’s actually Alian that I think has the most potential to be a true PG.

To be more specific for Ateneo, the question is who will be their main playmaking guard. I think there are no issues in terms of shooting guards

Adamson forced a do-or-die for the final 4 without Jerom Lastimosa. Their core is intact.

They can still go hard on J-house. It aint over til its over. Look at KB, he already played for UST in the pre season but ended up in NU.

Ala godfather, offer him a price he cant refuse.

Plus they have former Enderun Colleges go to guy in AJ Fransman on their team B. And the Fil Am twins

I love how pundits always put Adamson out of the final four picture when, since 2016, they always have a fighting chance to make into the final four. Only in 2019 they did place sixth.

PBA draft eligibility. Players only need 2 years UAAP/NCAA if they're under 22. The PBA changed their rules (again) hoping to encourage guys who can actually play pro to do the whole PBA bullshit instead of signing in Japan. There's only ever been a handful of them anyway.

Pera pera na lang din naman kasi sa UAAP hehe let us admit that. Pero Adamson seems to be a final 4 contender pa din next year given they have some quaility recruits coming in.

I think with one more year, Brown will prove to be a capable starting pg especially defensively. Offensively he's already there, but with one more preseason I think he'll understand admu's defense more. Then you have Nieto who is really another promising pg, I would not be surprised if he becomes better than his brothers. His defense is really advanced. It seems he earned Tab's trust really early and with his size he can be a really good pg.

Having said that, playmaking for ateneo isn't really that vital. They always execute plays and point of attacks come from different players. What they lacked this season is an "iso guy" who creates when there's no more time. That's where I think Gamber fits, that guy was a big iso scorer in the US.

Well in the post-game celebrations at DLSU yesterday, Mike again confirmed he will stay for as long as possible.

But KQ is a goner with the way he has been answering questions.
 
He knows better than me, but what does KQ need to do in the UAAP? Especially if he has european offers like he was teasing weeks past.

Development I guess still ton of things he could work on and develop more. He’d probably end up not getting much minutes in Japan depending on which team he goes to or he could go KBL and get more playing time there

KBL is full but if he has a good european offer with like a team with an academy in like tier 3 european basketball, then that would be good development wise.
