2019 Batang Gilas U16

[C2Hamm]

wow he will be ineligible due to techinicality his rumored parents are all home grown... daming evidence fiba

he doesnt know who his real parents are? just joking

[kerouac82]

pano naging rumored parents pa rin si lowell briones? i say the kid is eligible, parents are filipino citizens and he was born in the country. if the briones family imigrated in the US a few years back, they may not yet be a US citizens, they may still be green card holders so that means, they carry philippine passport whenever they travel

"Ineligible" here might be in the context of age. He was born 2002, so he won't make the cut for U16.

He'll be a good prospect for the U18 next year, together with Sotto, Cortez and Lazaro.

[sajubeads]

that is francis' loss, if he is really obeying school orders then he is just limiting his potential. he is missing the opportunities of where his basketball journey goes, he does not dream big like kai

Whats wrong with Francis Lopez, while he is a no show in Gilas Youth U16 practices, he is also not present in LSGH games at FilOil Tournament...

Not ready or good enough for U19 and not age eligible for U16, he's invited for another team, he's still in high school.
2nd question, yes.. but can't divulge for obvious reasons

SCOUTING REPORT

Strengths:
The strength of his game is simply to get buckets. Ellis has a unique feel and knack to create space and find his shot in a controlled fashion. He delivers with a solid percentage and always keeps the defense on its heels. He delivers on the defense of glass and excels with the ability to push it in transition get right to the rim. When the game slows down he's clever and instinctual enough to create his own scoring opportunities and find others. His range is deep and his release is quick. The understanding and skill and to play off screens and use his floater in the paint is impressive. A good steal defender Ellis shows good instincts and anticipation.

Weaknesses:
At times Ellis will gamble defensively and get beat. To be able to play against the best guards in the country he needs to be committed to living low in his stance an keeping the ball out of the lane. He is a strong passer but at times he goes for the home run versus the simply play and that hurts his assist to turnover ratio. To be a point guard at a high level he must work on the balance of setting up others and still being able to get points. Strength will help his on ball defense and ability to take hits in the paint on his drive.

Bottom Line:
Ellis is an emerging guard in the class and is defined by his deep range is quick and his confidence to score. One of the few in the class who can score from all three levels and include a floater. He had an outstanding July campaign and will shine as a future combination guard.
