problem with having a lot of prospects is that there are only a few teams in the PBA so some bright prospects end up benched. PBA should expand so more players get to develop.

Why is Chris Koon not as highly touted (to be given exemption as a local) compared to the QMB, Philipps and Luceros?
Im pretty confident on the eligibility and exemptions of QMB and Mike Philipps. While Koon gives Gilas a Dwight Ramos 2.0. And i think he's a much better ballhandler and taller than Dwight. Does he have issues? attitude etc?Comment

Did you see Pinoyliga when DLSU had all their hugot players available? Koon doesn't strike me as a pro-ready player. Bahay does and he's just a rookie. Koon just looks really awkward with the ball in his hands and for whatever reason, him playing too much off the ball without shooting it much is a problem.Originally posted by carmelo7 View PostComment

he gets to Ginebra then maybe CTC could tap on that potentialComment

Koon has no killer instinct. Dwight does.sigpicComment

Koon is a role player at best, if he has that star potential, he couls have led Ateneo to a much higher place last season with his last playing year.

I agree with being a potential role player for Gilas. But finding role players that will work effectively can be just as important as finding high usage players. Just like how a Tuffin or Navarro can be important role players for Gilas. A team with Kai and an NP would need several "right" role players.Originally posted by lem0nadi View Post
Koon is still a rare 6'5-ish player who can handle the ball, shoot and defend (that all important modern 3 and D). During their last championship run, he was routinely used as the primary perimeter stopper. He also showed his athleticism when he posterized vs DLSU. I think him playing with a broken foot one season and then lack of bigs on his last season robbed him of a chance to perform better.Comment

In that wing position, if you're not a star in FIBA, you have to at least defend, shoot or do both at a good enough level. That's why I have Will Navarro in my priority list at wing over a guy like Arvin Tolentino. I think the wing is an important defensive position.Originally posted by Metta View Post
Defense must be emphasized in as many of our young wings as possible.Comment

to unleash that fire in the belly..that assertiveness in his character
I think Chris Koon should be drafted by either CYG of ROS or CCR of TNT
those two former Gilas coaches are known for their motivation.
a lefty 6'5 or a shade of 6'6 PG with a velvety form ala Richie Ticzon and Jordan Heading is a rarity in Philippine basketball.
surely getting an exemption moving forward is beneficial to the Gilas program
and it is inevitable.Comment

He's already played like 5-6 years here, 5 years in Ateneo alone. I think the exemption would be given in a year or 2, if SBP will do the process.Comment

I share the same viewpoint. Everyone should be trained as a guard first as a general rule, especially if the kids start playing basketball early. Speed, handle, passing, shooting, perimeter defense. In the same vein, I also think everyone should learn how to screen and rebound as well.Originally posted by live_evil View Post
As for big kids who start late, probably depends on their mobility and size.Comment

Imagine if this kid turns out to be great and makes it to the Gilas roster (cant play him against germany or poland)
edit: cant play him against Israel either

They shouldn't have allowed his parents to register that name. Is he even good enough to be recruited by a big school?Originally posted by CoJ View PostComment

kid is not in any leaderboard in any statistical category and his team’s standing is 2-2 and is already out of contention at the nbtc. Safe to say that there would be no scholarship offers from any big programsOriginally posted by thatweirdguy View Post
