2022 Batang Gilas U16

[NOiNU]

It was a “decent” finish, at least according to SBP. Goes to show the standards they’ve set.

Anyways, we never had these many shooters in our team, 4 of them pretty reliable—Competente, Konov, Bahay and Porter. Bayla can also shoot, even Mahmood. Simply tightening up the rotation (spot up minutes only to our 9-12th guys if the team is keen on exposing (pun intended) everyone, could’ve made a difference. But that’s with the benefit of hindsight, of course.

I hope the trend continues for the men’s team, too, almost everyone can shoot. With how the game is played today, we can’t afford to have too many non-shooters at the same time out there, esp in FIBA games.

Three point shooting is all muscle memory they will have a decent pba big man like (yes almost all pba bigmamn not named cstan can shoot the three), thats why I see mahmood and porter three point shooting as normal since yun body nila is almost adult level na (lols) while konov has that mean streak even in the curry era of basketball you cant teach mean streak

[balong]

All things considered, I agree. Such a waste on our part as Harris actually has the higher ceiling if we are to consider mere physical tools and genes. Skills can be honed as they grow older. But the biggest red flag for me is Harris’ demeanor. I think he’s a diva in the making.

I know we could argue that if he gets his head straight, then sky’s the limit. But didn’t we wish the same thing before with Japeth, Kobe and lately, Juan? I’m not expecting much, and admittedly, I’m disappointed. Good thing we still have Lebron.

yep a diva, hyped up by choke to be in the seniors team this early. with his on court demeanor, i wont want him to be in u18 but then again the joke of choke is coaching, so what can we do.

For me ah, it isnt Japeth as the first sayang player of the modern era of basketball.. It was Rommel Nino KG Canaleta, he had it all shooting, athleticism but was exposed to international basketball bit late. He isnt the Kobe Paras, Juan or Caelum like who has hype all over them he is also a little bit laid back like lebron lopez

suddenly felt guilty calling the kid emo-anime and emo-kpop

edit: this is the last time im calling him that

Nevertheless, before this thread becomes ancient history lets thank the group for everything that they did. Changes of course should be made but yeah it was entertaining esp the Australia game, at least the kids did it, i wnder if the seniors would be anywhere that position (halftime and leading, and at some point led by 12-15pts?).

[live_evil]

with PBA players nope, we will be behind by 20. with Tab and his choice players, it can be done.

Crazy to see how Romero is being bullied. Based of some of the comments he didnt have an easy childhood . Older brother died, dad was away from the family due to court cases. The kid hasnt smiled at all in any of the pictures . Whether his dad paid for a slot or not his kid shouldnt be bullied like this or any of the other kids.

I saw really no talent to be included in the team. But maybe the kid tried so hard to be in the team and did everything in the training. Thats why I dont believe as long as their is evidence to show their was wrong doing. Lets not do profiling of people, because we might hurt people that don't deserve it.

I honestly don’t think this under 16 job is a hot commodity for top coaches.

The top college coaches wouldn’t prioritize this given the weird uaap schedule . Historically i don’t think u16 coaching job has been a hotspot for coaches.

If anything, It is just a good way of assuring fil foreigns to be eligible under hagop rules.

Ex: Caelum or Harper (sana)

But yep, U18 is probably more serious, bali next step nun is if they can be elevated to seniors gilas

The thing is good recruiting of Fil foreigners for BG can be done regardless of who the coach is, it would be inaccurate to claim that the recruitment of fil foreigners (Harris etc) is attributed to who was appointed BG coach.
Fil am select and NBTC would still recruit regardless who the coach is. Note Fil am select is the NBTC representative of the US east coast .
This 4th.of July will the Global games in Virginia Beach

Hopefully, the rest will be man enough to admit it.

I've reiterated that we should remember the U16 team is a team of KIDS and keep criticisms constructive. Skills and abilities aside, mentally and emotionally... these kiids are far from being fully developed. I know it's too much to ask of a public forum, but those mature enough should speak up more when stuff like this happens. Keep the below the belt comments towards the grown-ups.

Sandy shouldve guided Josh, sandy was never given a chance and cholo Villanueva and Charles Tiu shouldve joined the trip

Oliver,should have been there,Jr seems to warm up more,on actually letting him call the plays.

[ARMIR]

they should have just hired a foreign coach for the U16 team then have Josh Reyes as the understudy, but no the Reyeses wants the limelight

If either Sandy or Oliver with him,he will defer the play calling to either one of them,I still don't know why Jong is not even with him either.

They don't want to hurt the Reyes' feelings. The SBP should have sacked Chot from any NT duties when Gilas performance really dived deep in 2017. From Silver medaliats to near bottom of top 10. Chot never recovered after RDO, Hontiveros, Pingris retired from the NT.

Alas, looks like Chot occupies a higher position and is a better ass kisser to MVPs ass.

Same is probably with his son.

Wala pa ang China & Chinese Taipei nyan. Imagine if China & CT were there. We might not even make it to the quarterfinals pag minalas pa tayo ng kunti.

We all know that China is always a powerhouse team, may it be in the seniors & even in the youth level. CT isn't a pushover as well in the youth level. If we had faced CT in a crucial game tapos minalas tayo ng kunti, pwede tayong madisgrasya which would cost us even our quarterfinals bid.
