Pretty good effort I reckon, unsure whether having an extra day off helps or hinders australia.

Hate to compare them to their kuya's but I will... When Korea caught up to Gilas, Nenad called timeout to stop the bleeding and didn't allow Korea to run away with the game. For the most part, Gilas controlled the pace of the game but Korea were just hitting their threes. Here, Josh called timeout a minute later they're down 7. Game over from that point.Comment

It is a good effort from our team. it just shows our team lack talents that can compete against australia. Maybe 6-7 at most players can go toe to toe""failure is not the end but just the beginning of a victorious journey..just keep on dreaming and we will be back on the olympics''''Comment

Some good prospects for the senior team in the future which is a positive.Comment

I agree. We showed fight which makes the Japan loss even more disappointing. We should have won that one.Originally posted by mayfel View PostComment

It was a good game. We even led at the half. We were at striking distance in the 4th. But yeah they couldnt handle the press and the lead ballooned. Not sure why they are not boxing out the ft shooter. One time the ft got the rebound.Comment

109-83 AUS. GGWP Batang Gilas.
Despite dropping out of contention for the 2022 FIBA U17 WC, this BG U16 team is still one of the better youth teams we have had, at par with the 2013 batch that placed second to a very strong China team at the time and the 2019 one with Kai that placed fourth despite the entry of AUS and NZ.
The competition in the U18 tournament will be tougher, especially from the Middle Eastern teams, but I hope they will make the U19 WC next time.Originally posted by gideonComment

Bruh fr. If we only have a better PG sub for Bahay, or someone better than Bahay to start then we wouldn't be as shaky when Nieto comes in. Give us his kuya Matt and he'll probably solve some issues lol. Add a 6'9+ center (or maybe Kai) and this team could've won over Japan and be set for the world cup.Originally posted by crenshaw View Post
On a side note i swear that Josh Dent already played for Aussie U18 or something (or maybe his brother lol).Comment

Had we won Japan we would not have faced AUS so early into the tournament, a top 4 finish to clinch a U17 WC spot would have been more doable with India as the opponent.Originally posted by Sikatrix View PostOriginally posted by gideonComment

Even after our QF exit there are still silver linings in the form of potential solid Gilas seniors players PG - Bahay, SG- Competente, G/F - Bayla, F - Harris, F - Konov, PF - Mahmood. I'd consider Porter too if he either grows to 6'7+ or transitions to a SF/PF but I have to say he has shown that he has some skills. Maybe Gemao too, I have seen his vids and he looks to be a hard worker but in this youth edition it is evident that he still needs to improve more.Comment

Konov and harris are really good prospects for seniors team hoping they develop properly.
wishing Mahmood and Porter to grow 2 more inches too i don't want another belga

Is it just me?
Or Lorenzo Competente can be a lite version of Jordan Heading.
You can argue, he is the most consistent performer for batang gilas thru all bg games so far.
Expected ko na good performance on our Foreign Based Fil Foreigns e.
For homegrowns, Competente and Porter really exceeded my expectationsComment
