Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

[Silent Killer]

I think Dickel has the right idea with positionless basketball here. I wonder how he'll develop that with TNT, especially with Troy, Erram, and probably Lervin Flores. I dunno with David Semerad.

Goal should be positionless lineup by the World Cup. I think that's achievable. If Tab's small ball lineups are successful in these qualifiers and the Asia Cup, that will bode well for our chances of using the lineup in the WC, and may make its mark in the PBA.

maybe dickel is our coach, official announcement will be next year..

I think our probable final roster would be wing heavy. Logical thing to do as we have a sudden abundance on the position, and it came in opportune time as far as modern basketball is concerned. Perhaps a composition of 4 bigs 6 wings and 2 PGs would do. With Dwight, Dave and Calvin capable secondary playmakers/ballhandlers, we can afford to have a plethora of them in lieu of a 3rd PG. 5th big would be Kobe. I think that’s a feasible roster makeup.

BIGS: Kai, Edu, Kuoame, Slaughter/ Fajardo, Kobe
Wings: Clarkson, Parks, Oftana, Perez, Thirdy
PG: Kiefer, Ramos

As of now, only 4 teams in the PBA using positionless basketball.. TNT (w/ Parks is their jack of all trades), Ginebra (tall in every position by PBA standards), Phoenix (small in center position but wing oriented squad) and ROS (many players can play multiple position).. Hoping other teams will follow.. Surprisingly SMB, Magnolia and Alaska are still using old school basketball..

Agreed, those 4 teams are versatile, and most play a good system, most of them kinda positionless (Phoenix plays Perkins as a point forward).

SMB doesn't have enough tools for a positionless system this tournament. They have five guards, Arwind, Mo, and Escoto in the rotation. Leaving MGR out of the lineup is really a boneheaded move.

Same with Alaska, not enough tools for a positionless system. Not much in the 3-spot aside from Jeron, Racal (who is out), and Herndon. Eboña looks like he can reasonably defend the perimeter, guarding Gabe and Arwind. Alaska just needs a good-sized wing to push Jeron, Racal, and Herndon to the 2-spot at times.

On the other hand, Magnolia does have the tools for positionless basketball in Corpuz, Rome, Calisaan, and Dionisio, which is why it boggles my mind that Victolero keeps using his 3-guard lineups.

Actually, Northport has a team that can go positionless, as they have 6'5" Ferrer, 6'5" Manganti, and 6'4" Anthony. It's just that Pido still uses more of a 3-guard lineup or a two-big lineup.

TerraFirma has 6'5" Cahilig, 6'5" Adams, and 6'4" Khobuntin. Art dela Cruz Sr. could better use their talents than Cardel has used them. Under Art, Adams got in rhythm, albeit for one game.

Well, Wings are the most versatile position. He can play guard,forward, and big. For ex. JDV.

It should be wing heavy actually. I think our abundance is in the wings now, and not in the guards anymore. I see more wing prospects than guard prospects. Wings looks like is where our talents is.

Bigs is a lock already. Kai, Aj, JMF, and maybe another one.

We can see this in the high school and collegiate level. A lot of 6'4" to 6'6" players with the ability to play the 3-spot.

6'6" Paras
6'5" Oftana
6'5" Navarro
6'5" Josh Lazaro
6'5" RV Berjay

6'5" Jonnel Policarpio
6'5" Eusebio
6'5" Javi GDL
6'5" Koon
6'5" Dwight Ramos
6'4" Dave Ildefonso
6'4" David Murrell

Maybe we could limit our bulilits to just 1 or 2 players now and go all in with wings and bigmen.

I hope a couple of them grows to be at the 6’ 7”/ 6’9” range, pantapat sa Japs duo.

Amsali too

I don't regard Amsali that high. He looked promising some 4 years ago, but seeing him play in Batang Gilas, I feel he doesn't cut it.

Forgot about Amsali too. His partner Sanchez, probably.
