2022 Batang Gilas U16

[IPC]

Better to list him as 6'2 so DDO, Jr. will use him as a SF. hahaha

Nice joke. Hahahahahahaha.

But really, this is an indictment of most coaches in Philippine basketball. 3-guard lineups if it helps them win in the local, even if the third guard is too undersized.

with few people missing

sino yung mukhang anime? (blondie)

[Dotch]

6'5 Kristian "Baby Beau Belga" Porter, younger brother of Phoenix's Kris Porter, and 5'9 Jared "J-House" Bahay

wow, for the age group, this is a tall lineup

[crenshaw]

Not bad for bunch of HS kids...TnT is the defending All Filipino Champions...Granting it is not the fullstrengyh TNT team that they played but losing to an All Pro team by this than double digits is a laudable job alrwady for the Batang Gilas.

My God, what is the facisnation of the Reyes clan woth Minion ball....Not taking anythingbaway from Bahay and Gemao for they could be excellent PG, but kailangan ba talaga 2PG in the starting 5....

Makes me scratch ny mind that 6-3 Amos wa cut over the 5-10s Miranda and Nieto...

I dont mind us being small. This is still teenage basketball, skilled small can beat unskilled bigs. Lets not be spoiled w kai's batch, wc is an outlier to our genetics that lacks length. Id take my chances w a squad full of kids that play hard and play together.

yep, this is still pretty tall for our normal standards. the u17 teams that we went to the world cup before kai had 6'3"/6'4" centers

[Rds]

He doesn’t look 6’4. Almost as tall as Harris who is 6’5-6’6.

They listed Caelum as 6'5. Probably height without shoes.

With the way things are going, it looks like 6’7 is going to be the average local big for this decade.

That means we will have to stick to PF/C naturalized players like Ange or Andray.

Relatively tall, until we face the Chinese U-16. Almost always, they will parade 16 y.o kids who are a foot taller than our tallests. Buit no matter, i think we have a winning record against Chinese U-16 and U-18 since 2014.

No choice. But to compensate it with skills

�� FIBA U16 Asian Championship
��️ June 12-19, 2022
�� Doha, Qatar

Batang Gilas ���� schedule:
June 13 • vs Kuwait
June 14 • vs Japan


This is what Japan U-16 NT looks like (with 17 year old kids..so maybe they same pool as U-18) . Tallests are 200cm (6'6") and 201cm (6'7")

So team Gilas are about the same size.

Small ball is sacrificing size for speed and vesatility at the 4 and 5 positions. It doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing size at the 1, 2, and 3 positions, which ja.he and sajubeads was pointing out. They showed concern over the undersized players at 1 and 2, which will affect our ability to defend.

the problem with the Reyeses is that they are putting premium on offense sacrificing the team's ability to defend. the problem, though, is that i don't think that their favorite players are not that skilled offensively.
