Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

[Dotch]

I know that this event is still a year from now but a hint to player composition for this team

My guess: 9 PBA players, 1 NBA Player, 1 NBL Player and 1 BLeague'r

You're right. Actually OA most posters here in IBN, as if they can do any better. Too dramatic. Sometimes I wonder if the posters here are teenagers. At the end of the day it's just basketball. Yes we love it. No it doesn't need any sort of political intervention. Yes I'm glad we won't be sending the cadet team.

Actually, yeah, it should be a mix. However, the PBA players sent should be the right ones. And of the Tab cadets, I think Kai, Tamayo, Baltazar, Dwight, Navarro, and Oftana (he played 1 FIBA game under Jong/Tab, but still trained with the team) should be shoo-ins. The rest can be supplied by the PBA, with the newfound eligibles.

Basketball is entertainment, the powers-that-be wants the fans' attention and money. We might pay it some attention here and there, but the pulse from IBN is that we won't pay them any of our hard-earned money.

Add: it is justifiable to boycott a product that is not of the specifications to the taste of the consumer. it is up to the entertainment provider to adjust accordingly or else, lose that money.

I dont think we IBNers are OA. If you go to SocMed most PH team followers have the same sentiment. Chot and the SBP have effed it up. It is obvious that SBP and PBA have an agenda beyond PHs international success.

If SBP were really primary concerned with having a good PH bball program, they should have kept Tab and let him have a vacation for one qualifier. They should not have cried foul over players leaving for other countries. These players are still joining the PH team. Actually it is the PBA and the college leagues that are affected. Is SBP the spokeperson of the commercial and college leagues now? All the reasons they gave for firing Tab have turn out to be BS and have nothing to do with the PH bball program. It is all about taking care of the local leagues and making them happy.

[Dotch]

For me i guess this will be Chot's line up for 2023:

Kiefer (B-League) - Most experienced International PG Filipino player
Scottie (PBA) - With SMC/Al Chua already there, he is one of SMC's best bet to play Gilas
Parks (B-League) - Good complimentary off the bench, can play 1 to 3 spot
Ramos (B-League) - Good all around guard, best off guard in Philippines today
Clarkson (NBA) - Our franchise player indeed
Malonzo (PBA) - Best wing in the PBA today, hoping his defense is like Navarro too
Oftana (PBA) - Designated wing shooter
Tamayo (UAAP) - Probably best forward today in the Philippines
Edu (US NCAA) - Very needed his position indeed, he will replace Kouame's spot if Clarkson as NP
Fajardo (PBA) - Best big out of PBA today
Kai Sotto (NBL) - Very needed his position too, same as Edu
Quiambao (UAAP) - Maybe a biggest choice if he or Japeth or if Edu is not healthy enough then he will be shoo in

Reserves:
Japeth A. (PBA) - He would be the 13th man of this team
Thirdy R. (B-League) - If he can't improve his shooting then no way he will get the spot for 2023
Perez (PBA) - Unlucky for him as his position is very loaded

Remember, PBA (not SBP) is going to run this shit show, so 1 BLeague'r is one too many already, but Chot as stupid as he is, cannot pass up what Dwight can bring to the table. Its a tough choice between Ramos and Parks, but will choose Ramos eventually.

Going with my the 9:1:1:1 ratio, its going to be like this:

PBA:
Iskati
CJ
Aguilar
JMF
Oftana
Malonzo
Newsome
Troy
Pogoy

NBA:
JC

NBL:
Kai

BLeague:
Dwight

Somehow the PBA PR machine will concoct stories about Balti, Tamayo, AJ and the KBL boys not being available and/or are injured

You're not OA when you have been posting or lurking in IBN for more than a decade already, like during or before the Gilas 1 days.

Im worried that the rumored pool only has 1 good shooter in Oftana. To be fair, outside the PBA we only have Heading and of course Clarkson as sharpshooters.

no idea if there is any value added by Barrios' appointment as SBP spokesperson

for fans probably not. but for the media peeps, they now have a point person to talk with with regards to anything SBP. currently media peeps just randomly reachout to Al, CCR, and whoever says yes for an interview. Having a spokesperson means official statements need\should come from Sonny Barrios and anything coming from anyone else is technically a personal opinion. again fans wont see it like that most likely.

He may be the most boring person in eue of pinoy ball fans but he does say the right things, knew when to keep his mouth shut et. al..

Yes. They should have included Bolick who's a decent play maker and can get hot from 3

legit question, how can we say one is a cadet team as oppose to a non-cadet?

Non-pro is cadet? but in Europe, cadet teams are usually the U-23 team. Maybe. I dunno.

usually cadets are the select team more likely reserve players if somehow one of the players in team a got injured, the 2017 sea games team led by Kiefer and Ray were mostly composed of "cadets" garvo lanete is a gilas cadet legend

THERE is so much room for everyone next year....Asia Games will happen 2 weeks after Fiba World Cup....So if SBP is smart about it, those whonwont make the World Cup Team will play for Asian Games , maybe with 2 to 3 doing double duties(Sotto, Edu and if permitted Clarkson).With the SMC MVP group alliance , there will be some players who would be given concessions and are shooins(MVP group: Ravena bros, Ramos and from SMC: PBA MVPs Fajardo and Thompson, Aguilar and Perez)
