    Yeah, and Black likes bigs. I agree that Rike and Holmqvist (who Cone called a JDV lite) could be good projects for MERALCO to develop, and give them much-needed size inside.

    However, best player available over need when it comes to drafting, which in MERALCO's case is Pasaol. However, it didn't show last conference.
    Pasaol is a bulky 6'2 power forward during his stint in UE. He needs the ball to be effective. That's why he looks like a mess in Meralco.

    • Sometimes, I can't help but think that maybe the opening of Japan's B-league teams to Filipino cagers is fate's way of balancing the ridiculously imbalance competition in the PBA. I just hope that PBA players like CJ Perez, Bolick (this guy is SMC-bound anyway if he stays in the PBA so its better if he goes to Japan), Japeth Aguilar, Standhardinger, RR Pogoy, will play in Japan or elsewhere abroad. This will definitely even the playing field in the PBA.

Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

        In the case of the PBA, this will force teams (looking at Ginebra and SMB) to develop the guys at the end of the bench.

        An exodus will be good for the players sitting at the end of the bench, especially the young ones. It means a good opportunity for them to show what they got and where they need to improve so that the coaches can work on them. Tapos malay natin, they might turn into a star.

          Is Leo Austria good at developing young players into quality players? Ang alam lang naman nya is to harvest established quality players from SMC farm teams confident that such marque players will make an immediate impact to SMB. Instant noodles lang naman alam na lutoin ni Leo Austria. Stripped Austria of CJ Perez & Junmar Fajardo & I bet pupulutin sa emburnal ang San Miguel.

            An overweight unathletic PF who isn't interested in doing anything else but shoot. It's like drafting Okafor only 8 inches shorter and at least 10x worse

              Yeah, the only young player that became a quality contributor under Austria was Von Pessumal. Other than, wala na. No, CStand doesn't count, as he was already a star coming into the PBA.

              As for Tim Cone, on the other hand, at least to his credit, Scottie Thompson became a star, and Aljon Mariano and Prince Caperal became quality contributors when given opportunities. God, I wish he used his bench more. Ang daming potential contributors, e, which could be useful once the old core washes out.

              Under Chito Victolero, Sangalang became a featured option, and Rodney Brondial and Jio Jalalon became quality players. Aris Dionisio might be on the way there, same with Jerrick Ahanmisi. Of the SMC coaches, siya lang ang may at least decent track record when it comes to player development. They're the little brother (or sister), so they had to develop their own assets.

                Scouting of MERALCO sucks bigtime. Only Hodge and maybe Black are there good picks. I don't find Newsome and Jackson as good draft picks.

                  That is why PBA is a complete SHIT!!!!
                  Obviously, its SMC who is blocking the entry of these companies interested in owning PBA franchises. Dapat yung mga farm teams like Blackwater, Perra-pirma, Northport should be acquired by these companies wanting to own PBA franchises but SMC is blocking it kasi mawawala na farm teams nila & this old shitty practice of lopsided trades which have benefitted mostly San Miguel & Ginebra teams will be gone. Without these shits, SMC teams can no longer dominate the PBA like it used to. SMC could no longer monopolize quality players in the PBA specially if a big company like SM would own a PBA franchise.

                  Leo Austria will no longer win any championship for his SMB team becoz magagawa lang naman nya yun if his team has an overwhelming edge in talent over the rest of the pack.

                  It's more profitable to sell player contracts to foreign teams. The farm team and the player both win in that setup.

                  • I think if one is a rational PBA fan, who only wants a balanced & competitive league, you would be very every disappointed seeing a team like Northport, which showed some promise in the recent 2021 PBA Phi Cup, to lose players like Bolick & Malonzo to talent laden teams like SMB & Ginebra.

                    I think most of us here were impressed with what Northport has exhibited last conference, only to be frustrated that such good showing would be short lived.

                    And this would only add to our disdain on the PBA

                      Yeah.

                      Also, I think Brownlee won 4/5 Championships of Ginebra. Hehe.

                      Buti na lang nanalo sila last season without JB. Hehe

                        Well, I can't blame Leo Austria for not having confidence in his coaching ability. Wala naman talaga syang coaching ability eh. He has just been banking on his super bloated with talent SMB roster to win. Its the overwhelming superiority in talent that made SMB win so many championship under Leo Austria. Austria's coaching had nothing much to do with it.

                        On Junmar, its obvious that Junmar has a decent medium range jump shot, but he seldomly takes mid-range jumpers. Why? Eh kasi kayang kaya naman ni Junmar kalabawin sa loob eh against local bigs who are about 4 to 5 inches shorter than him. Remember the time when Leo Austria wanted a "mas malapad" & "mas mabigat" na Junmar Fajardo?
                        What's the source for the 'mas malapad' part?

                        I do agree with heavy reliance on talent, though.

                          Narinig (or nabasa) ko rin lang din yan bro dito sa IBN. I think other posters here could comment on that.

                            Di ba? So many decent players were available and they went with Jackson.. even ordinary fans like us could see those picks would backfire

                              I remember Pessumal struggled in Globalport. However, I looked at the numbers, and he was OK for a 3 point specialist. He was as good there as he is now with SMB. You're right, he might not count.

                              So Austria hasn't developed a single player.

His best performance actually when he was playing for Gilas cadets under Nash Racela before.. I remember he drained 10 3 pt shots in a FIBA game before.. I think it was against Jordan, If i'm not mistaken... Ginawa lang sya "Boy abang sa labas" nila Pido at Austria.. He can be 3 and D guy in other teams.. w/o his sweet shooting of him, He will be already retired as basketball player because aside from his shooting eh he can't do more.. I hope that he was also traded to Terrafirma for CJ Perez trade, baka dun lumabas laro nya...
                                He only had 1 good shooting game if I remember in FIBA. The rest were meh. But yeah he benefitted a lot from the open looks JF and the other stars of SMB generated.
