    But who is 1 Pba Big that should be really in the Final 12 for 2023. I made a simple poll in AJEF fb group. These are the choices

    Japeth, Junmar, Ian, Erram, Almazan, Chua

    It turns out to be just Japeth VS JMF


    Most voters picked Japeth. And I agree, not because I am a ginebra Fan.

    But like majority said, Junmar, is a big liability in pnr. Plus, he doesnt fit with Coach Chot's System. At least Japeth have some mobility and athleticism for the modern game. AND he is playing well this days.

    Coach Chot's Prefer Mobile Bigs:

    (Kai, AJ, Kouame, Japeth) will be a Mobile Frontcourt.

    In the event of JC being our NP though, then JMF can be chosen

    (Kai, AJ, Japeth JMF)Frontcourt

    PS: Do We Consider Balti, Tamayo, and Troy as Bigs? I consider them as Forwards Kasi
    how i wish Sanggalang was trained more to play as a SF/PF just like how Tamayo is doing now.

    • Sangalang looked pathetic against world class competition. He can't even handle Iranians, what more higher ranked teams?

        The biggest reason is he's strictly an inside operator relying on his kontra tiyempo shot. Which will not work against 7 footers. Lol.

        Different story if he trained as SF/PF.

        • My own Anticipation of Gilas 2023 Propects so far
          (I consider Caoch Chot as the Gilas Coach)

          PG

          Kiefer (B league/Pba)
          Bolick (Pba)
          Alas (Pba)
          Panopio (US Ncaa)

          SG

          JC (Nba)
          Thirdy Ravena(or Parks if Available - (B league)
          Heading (Taiwan)
          Pogoy (Pba)
          Wright (Pba)
          Dave Ildefonso (Uaap)

          SF

          Dwight (B league)
          Oftana (Pba)
          Navarro (Uaap)
          Lopez
          Caelum

          PF:

          Baltazar (Uaap)
          Tamayo (Uaap)
          Japeth (Pba)
          Troy (Pba)

          C:

          Kai (NBL Australia)
          AJ (US NCAA DIV 1)
          JMF (Pba)
          Kouame (Uaap)

          Yeah, Looks like Coach Yeng was right. It wil be a mixed of Pba and Non Pba for 2023. But I think it will be equal or at least 7-5 for Final 12 in terms of the composition. Not only pba players

            Hopefully, more new gen 6'7 kids follow Carl's footsteps.

            Carl was a revelation in the U19 WC.
            GILAS WISHLIST:
            6'8 Pingris

              More than development I hope these kids have a good future by flying abroad, taper their expectations though unlike Japeth and Kobe who aimed straight for the NBA, there are many more opportunities outside that. Troy Rosario also looked promising as a rookie, 6'6 guy who's lean, can operate inside and has a shooting touch but really regressed with age due to lack of quality competition

                Dude barks like a dog in the PBA but whimpered like a pussy against the Iranians. Played scared to be honest.

                • Sangalang's situation is the symptom of the poor condition of Philippine basketball. No drive to improve. Content with being the king of the purok.

                  • With Kiefer possibly coming back in pba. That is another representation of pba for gilas. Lol.

                    Pba Players Who I Think will be in the Pool for 2023

                    PG: Kiefer, Bolick, (+ Alas and Thompson (if continue with the way they are playing))

                    SG: CJ Perez, RR Pogoy, Matthew Wright

                    SF: Oftana, Abueva(?).

                    PF: Troy, Japeth

                    C: Junmar, Erram, Alamazan(?)

                    Hahaha. There are some questionable selections that I am predicting. But will not be surprised if Coach Chot goes with something like this

                      Sanggalang is a case of measurables failing him. He is 6'5 1/2 or 3/4 without shoes. But the guy has short arms. Instead of developing a more perimeter oriented game he doubled down on post moves and became one of the most creative post players we have. Unfortunately, his short wingspan will not allow him to flourish in the paint internationally. Even in Magnolia he is not much of a rim deterrent. Ironically, Sanggalang was the most sought after big of his class. But international wise it was Almazan who had the better length and mobility to play there. And even with holes in his own international game, Almazan is miles better internationally than Sanggalang.

                        • My guess of NZ line-up for July 3 vs Gilas

                          Prewster , Rustbach
                          Abercombrie , Te Rangi
                          Vodnavich , Samuel
                          Harrison , Loe

                          won't play , Webster bros, Wetzell, Fotu, Delaney

                            Oh. I forgot There will be a WC Qualifier in Jul 1-4.

                            This is 1 week after Nba Draft. Whether drafted or not. I hope Kai is allowed and available for Gilas in that time.

                            I think without Kai, it will just be a repeat of February.

                            I want to see if Kai Sotto (A Legit NBL Player) will be a huge/big problem for NZ. (I believe he will be)

                            I think Kai, Dwight, and Thirdy can score at will against thar NZ team.

                            Idk if pba players are available that time. But if they are, I hope it is the deserving ones like Kief, Bolick, perez, etc.

                              Who do you think are deserving pba players to be at least considered in the pool for Gilas 2023. (Eligible Only)

                              Mine Would be:

                              Guards: Kiefer, Bolick, Perez, Thompson, Alas
                              Wings: Oftana, Wright
                              Bigs: Japeth, Junmar, Almazan

                              Not Deserving for me But I expect will be there: Pogoy, Troy, Erram,

                              This is purely based on their recent production
                              For me, it's the following:

                              Guards: Kiefer, Bolick, Perez, Thompson
                              Wing: Oftana
                              Bigs: Japeth, Junmar

                              That's all for me. The rest should come outside the PBA, especially thr SF and PF positions.
