Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

[JOI2dWorld]

Yeah, true. The guys you mentioned aretty much the only quality competition these days. I think Marcio should have been part of the pool instead of Pogoy. And yeah, I forgot about Miah. He was good in the Commissioner's Cup, OK two-way player.

As for college standouts, maybe Will Gozum, Mason Amos, CJ Cansino, Nic Cabanero, Francis Lopez, maybe guys like Cagulangan and Jacob Cortez.

If and if they can be joined by FSA's or if not they can ask bay area if they can borrow powell and nicholson , i remember in 2009 the national team lost against pba all stars backed by pba imports, and there was also a game were they faced the imports of each teams, the pba guys i mentioned, and college players you mentioned and imports, is a decent tuneup opponent compare to full PBA squad, as some players like hodge and belga are reckless enough that can injure other players

From Homer Sayson: Kai arriving tonight, to "rest" for 10 days

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/nba/kai-sotto-arrives-tonight-will-join-gilas-after-rest-rehab-a2244-20230719?ref=home_featured_big

"He will rest his back for 10 days. But if he feels better, he can come back (to basketball-related activities) earlier," a source from the 7-foot-3 center's camp told SPIN.ph.

Besides making sure he is 100 percent healthy, Kai also needs some precious "me time" after literally criss-crossing the globe playing professional hoops for the past few years.

"Kai has some personal things to take care of and needs down time as well. So he won't be heading to practice when he lands. People need to leave him alone for a bit to recharge and heal," a separate source close to the former Ateneo high school star also told SPIN.ph.


Meanwhile, an official at the Samahang Basketbol Ng Pilipinas (SBP), who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue especially since both sides couldn't come to terms during the February window, revealed that Sotto hasn't signed a contract yet to play for the World Cup.

But talks are progressing well and a deal is imminent.

And that's a win-win for both.

I'll see him sitting the china tournament. will chot agree..10 days rest meaning he will do a rayray parks(away from basketball rest) but we can say kai Sotto just used the 28 day clause used by nba players right Robert?

Or will do the right thing have Clarkson and Kai go with the team in China..

Canada is easily top 3 or 5 on paper with the talent that they have but sometimes it really don't translate in the court, they even have a better team than some European powerhouses its just those team beat them when it comes to chemistry and system

They should make a tune up games vs Bay Area Dragons to simulate the play of China... Philippines vs China possible classification match might be the biggest game for PHL basketball history.. So SBP should make agreements with BAD to have a tune up game, Especially they said they need more tune up games, rather than Taiwan or Indonesia... PHL are not in level of those teams...

You dont battle teams that hasnt even started their training camp (Bay Are Dragons, the best teams they can battle are teams that will play in oqt or sadly pba on tour teams..) And another the big 3 college teams (UP, DLSU,ADMU)

NBA can’t do that, or not have plans to break their partnership with FIBA… it’s like FIFA breaking up w/ EPL or IPL break up with ICC… do you know that fiba and nba even have merge partnership w/ BAL in Africa.. that means both have their mission to increase the popularity of basketball in Africa… even the EASL and WASL in asia has the support both of NBA and FIBA.. why? Both have plans to compete with the popularity of football (whether they tell it or not, it’s obvious)… you didn’t know how the business side of their partnership, the reason why NBA is also support FIBA’s new format.. is to increase the awareness of the sport worldwide…. You don’t know what will exactly happen if they break up, they will both lose millions of dollars since both are same in terms of their goals worldwide… the history of basketball is not the same for football and cricket… 10 years ago, basketball is only 9th most popular sport, NBA is globally popular, but there is still lacking, the international presence of followers… fast forward now, the basketball is now 2nd (or 3rd in some sites) as most popular sport… the reason? International players taking over the sport and increase international competitions… don’t tell NBA can easily dispatch FIBA since they are both the biggest institutions of basketball world… the reason why volleyball is just only 6th most popular because even it is Olympic sport and have international competitions is because no prominent professional leagues for volleyball, maybe there are but not as big as NBA in basketball or IPL in cricket…

NBA still doesn't care that much,its too close to opening season,they're protecting their star players from getting hurt or tired legs syndrome,no star player no expensive paying butts on the seat and no merchandise buyers either.Besides,Americans are seasonal sports fans and basketball is not fall and winter sports.As far as scouts are concerned,they probably in baseball and football mode.
