    Well, I hope to se Quiambao and Cortez (again) in gilas uniform.

    Especially Quiambao, he will be develop as a 3 in dlsu.

    Last time he was invited, he beg off because of something like oit of country vacation, and he said next time promise in his ig story.

    As for Cortez, Need to see how his injury affected him.

    And yes, If we go specifically Centers:

    Kai, AJ, and Ange will be shoo in for that.

    No disrespect to Geo Chiu, Lepalam, and Isaac Go, but that is massive downgrade

      Pre injury I thought AJ could play alongside Kai. Now I have no idea what his current level is or if he is even 100% at all. If he's 100% that would be a massive upgrade to our bigman rotation.

      Is Lebron a legit swingman? Or is he an undersized 4 like Abueva?

        the height differential alone makes him an upgrade of abueva. he also has calvin's explosive first step. i'm not saying he should be a shoo-in but chot will be doing ph basketball a great disservice if he doesn't use lopez in this window. we need to see him play official fiba basketball for assessment purposes.

          Speaking of Abueva, man, he had flashes of being a combo guard. He could penetrate and find teammates too, and could defend the perimeter and help. Too bad he was just retained as a combo forward.

            if only he was "discovered" earlier in pampanga, 2-3 inches taller and had great attitude, he could have been a parks-norwood hybrid,

              I think PG is the goal for him in Tabs system. If Suerte and Tyngcab could do it no doubt Perez can

                If you watch him play at San Sebastian, he played point forward thats why he average triple double in a season. He even have a better shooting from 3 in college.

                  He's our mini Lebron. The biggest thing holding him back is his attitude. If he only focuses on the game he could have been an ATG IMO. But he takes unnecessary fouls, thinks he's a better shooter than he actually is, gambles a lot on defense and has a penchant for padding his stats. And man the antics.. he takes them way too far

                    I think he is like a Combo Forward right now 3/4. Athletic 6'6-6'7 Combo 4.

                    Like Kobe Paras.

                    I hope Lopez will surpass paras both skills wise and attitude/mentality wise.

Hope he could go for the windows, along with some of his La Salle teammates like Kevin Quiambao, Jonnel Policarpio, Evan Nelle, and Ice Hontiveros. Maybe some of them could be good enough to crack the final lineup.
                      I hope too. But we know dlsu.

                      They have a lot of gilas quality talents pa naman.

                      Baltazar, Quiambao, Cortez, Hontiveros

                      Those are their 4 players I would like/love to see be in Gilas for some windows.

                      Quiambao/Cortez may challenge Baltazar/Tamayo in that Combo Forward Positions.

                        Or maybe, they can be considered shoo-in just like Baltazar and Tamayo. NU boys back again ito.

                          So,

                          NP, Kai, AJ, Baltazar, Tamayo, Quiambao, Cortez, Dwight will be shoo in? hehe

                          pba would need to accept that they will have 4 pba players in gilas final 12 though. And it is not even sure slot.

                          In fact only Bolick and oftana are the ones I want to be included.

                          Unfortunately, the decision is not ours.

                            4 PBA players is already substantial representation. Come on.

                            As for included players, I'm kinda open to including CJ Perez. Defense at the guard spot. Just hope he doesn't play 3, as we'd have Dwight, Oftana, and Navarro for that already. Not to mention Tamayo and Balti.

                              Ayun, he had potential talaga, and the ability as well. Damn shame that he didn't transition into a combo guard after Baste.

                              • Let's see who are in the Gilas pool right now:

                                C Kouame 6'10
                                C/F Rangel 6'7
                                F Navarro 6'6
                                F Lopez 6'6
                                F/G Dwight 6'4
                                F/G Tungcab 6'2
                                F/G Ravena 6'2
                                G Bolick 6'1
                                G 1GDL 6'1

                                Only three TNT players are needed here. No need to add Montalbo since Bolick and 1GDL are already occupying the guard spot. MGR, Acuno, and Khobuntin/Troy are the more logical choices here due to the shortages in the frontline. Any additional guards does not make any sense right now since you already have atleast 5 players that can play guard positions in Gilas (Bolick, 1GDL, Thirdy, Tungcab, Dwight).

                                The addition of:

                                MGR 6'5
                                Acuno 6'7/Troy 6'6
                                Khobuntin 6'3

                                will compensate the shortage of bigmen of Gilas by making the team tall across in every position (ala Italy or Dominican Republic).
