    Since we have world cup as context, even thr the thread itself is world cup, don't you think world cup stats weigh more in this discussion
    Were comparing players in recent tournaments that's why Asia cup is also relevant
    And it is not like I excluded the WC where Jap averaged more minutes than JM
    And based on both Asia cup and WC one can not say JM is significantly better, in fact one can argue Jap was equal if not actually better.

    • Maybe we can ask basketball personalities and known basketball coaches in the Philippines of who they think is the better Gilas player between Japeth Aguilar and Junemar Fajardo.

      • Japs role in Gilas has always been about rim protection. That's why he still has playing time even though not scoring much. Still disappointing that they are not maximizing his athleticism in offense like coach Tim is doing in Ginebra, but what do I know?

        • Edu is much better than Junemar in terms of FIBA play.

            In the context of this conversation, it's who's more servicable as 3rd center for 2023, sure I'm happy with asking that (injury and all), plus greater need for defense for a role player non scorer

            • Junmar is a below average scorer in FIBA with a much worse defense. Japeth's role is not about scoring but he's a much better rim protector and PNR defender. I guess it's really up to people which type they prefer.

                Yup ask coaches what type of center between the 2 do they prefer as back up to Kai and AJ, 3 years from now? That really is the question in context of 2023, not who's better now or had a better career

                • Japheth’s age right now is 33, by 2023 he’ll be 36, if his athleticism is still there then he’d probably be the best option, however since his game is mostly reliant on his athleticism if he isn’t able to do things he’d be a liability as well, he’s a 50/50 card because his decision making sometimes is terrible. Since the 3rd string Center probably won’t get many minutes, I’d go with Junmar who isnt as old and his game is less reliant on athleticism and At least can be physical down low.

                    Kai and AJ is better and will be much better than Junmar and Japeth in Fiba.

                    Simply because Kai and AJ are exposed to Fiba play at a very young age. And both are also trained overseas at a VERY YOUNG AGE.

                    Kai is an improved version of Junmar. (Scorer Big)

                    Aj is an improved version of Japeth (Rim protector Big)

Stronger, smarter, taller, more composed, quicker laterals, better motors too. The only advantage for japeth is the hops. With japeth as the 3rd big on the rotation, imagine thia scenario,

                      Aj is being matched up well by the opponent so he has to be subbed so here's 36yo japeth, the same type of player but inferior. As opposed to having junmar, he may not be far better than japeth but he's a di
                      different player from aj and kai. From a face up AJ, the defender suddenly has to guard a post up big. That may take the defence off guard for a stretch
                      Japeth has the same lateral quickness and motor as A.J when he was young or are you judging him now that he's older? In fact he moves like a 6'4 small forward back then just doesn't have the handles.

                      • I actually have no issues if the preference is to have Junmar as our 3rd insurance big, but that's just it to qualify it's really an insurance 3rd big. to put in context how many NBA teams actually field a 3rd center in the playoffs (similar to World cup tournament 5-9 games) , and note the NBA plays 8 more minutes than FIBA's 40. Seriously we're literally talking about a role that avg like 5 min in garbage or insurance . who in most games does not play at all. I don't know but in the context of key 2023 rotation players this is really a waste of discussion, and in the bigger scheme of things is not important. You literally can put Greg in that role and it won't matter one bit.

                        And please let's not be a smart.. Davis like AJ who's classified as a PF plays most center the most for LA. So yes Gilas has two Kai and AJ solid players who can play center

                        • My problem with Japeth is that he would sleepwalk for 4 games and wake up for half a game. Dude is so inconsistent.

                              If you have the guts to taunt like that, you should at least appear to have brains. It's not as if I'm pikon about that, i just don't want to waste any more of my time on you. So, kng pwde lng, kng hnd nmn malaking kawalan sayo, I'll just treat you like i dont see you, ganun ka nlng dn. Otherwise, you can still opt to but just don't expect responses from now on.

                              Ganyan na yan dati pa. I remember him commenting recently about the UST community being stupid. Or the management being dumb. Before taunting / judging someone. Better check yung self first. Yung comprehension and grammar din paki check. Hindi din kami perfect pero grabe kasi mag judge.

                              • I don't want to compare Edu to Fajardo because I think they can both play for the 2023 team.Edu is important because of his youth,length and athleticism.Junmar of course has toughness and experience in playing the senior team.Junmar could be the person taking the young bucks under his wing for guidance,plus he has a very jolly and accommodating personality.So it's safe to say those will be our 3 big men,Kai,Aj and Junmar.
