Philippines Cadet/Developmental Team

[mathematicianrcg]

I think it's time that our youth teams adopted this approach, and focus more on developing taller players at the wing (6'4"+) and four (6'7"+) positions.

Unless we have centers like Kai or AJ.

The truth is Kai and AJ are even both more Mobile and Perimeter oriented than our 6'5-6'7 Young Bigs. Lol

Kai and AJ playing overseas really helped though.

In 2023, We can have Kai AJ, Balti, Tamayo, Japeth or Troy. All Bigs capable of Facing Up and Shooting

Hopefully Demisana, Gagate, and Salvoro become reliable fours who can play like Balti or Carl, and that we have more wings the size of Oftana, Navarro, and Lebron. This U16 and U18 team might give us hope.

Need to focus more on developing and strengthening our wings and fours.

With coach chot, he will still used with the vets over the young bloods. Sad but true and it’s always the cycle.
Im just looking forward for the u16 and u18 fiba tournaments. And also, kai’s future after nba draft. Hehehe.

Hopefully the performances of our kids in the U16 and U18 (and maybe U17 and U19 World Cups) will be enough for some of them to earn invites to overseas development programs (US high schools, US NCAA colleges, European youth teams or B-teams, NBL1, or NBA Academy).

Kasi, we look like we're lagging behind Japan and SoKor in terms of development. Japan has an NBA rotation player in Rui Hachimura, and SoKor has a prospect that's said to be more translatable to the NBA than Kai in Lee Hyun-jung, and another in Yeo Jun-Seok. I hope we can close the gap.

Chot has no choice but to use the relatively younger guys for FIBA Asia. PBA basically forcing his hand.

Yeah. It has been announced already.

Basically Bleague, College, Some draftees (Arana, Javi, Mamu, Shaun), plus whoever in u18/17 that is good enough. Hopefully, Panopio is available.

[DAdmiral]

June 5 I think

And Kiefer is playing in PBA right ?

[IPC]

And Kiefer is playing in PBA right ?

Yeah, he's playing in the PBA by then.

[Rds]

Yeah, he's playing in the PBA by then.

So who will be our starting PG in th 3rd window and Asia cup? Belangel? Since we 're at it why not invite Jerome Lastimosa?

I really want it to be Panopio

RJ abareintos was not bad, how about the UP hero PG?

Cagulangan's a good facilitator and a tough defender, but he's 5'9". Not much of a scorer for most of the season. Positive impact player, though.

[JAMSKIE]

Yeah. It has been announced already.

Yeah.

I see it as a blessing in disguised that PBA players won't be available for Gilas by that time. I want the likes of Thirdy, D. Ramos, Kouame, Navarro, RJ Abarrientos, Belangel, Dave Ildefonso, Lopez, Baltazar, Tamayo & maybe Parks & Panopio.
