    I hope you're right. But Josh Reyes actually opted to start Bayla at SF with Bahay and Gemao at both guard positions at their tune-up game against TNT. I would have wanted to have Gemao (kid has good ball handling) and Bayla as starting guards. Length and athleticism on full display with Caelum at starting SF and Pre/Basti at PF. Mahmood for sure is the starting C.

    Edit: I forgot about Konov. He could be our starting PF if kid delivers.
    Based on what I read. I think Caelum will play PF. And Pre is considered Wing.

    So I would go

    PG: Gemao, Bahay

    SG: Bayla, Jones

    SF: Basti, Pre

    PF: Kotov, Caelum

    C: Mahmood, Porter

    As my 10 Man Rotation.

      This i think is pretty much the best 10 out of the pool (except Porter, haven't seen much of his game).

        Just picked him because of his size. Haha

        • I think Caelum plays Center in HS so he'll be a center. Does Mahmood play Center too?

            From their dunk-off Mahmoud seems to have the natural heftier body. So I agree with the others that probably he and Porter will play center.

              Based on the Tuneup VS TNT.

              Mahmood is C. And Caelum is PF.

              I want Basti to be SF. But high chance he would play PF too.

              Porter, is the next big kid in terms of heft. So I chose him in C.

              Except if they will use Konov as C since he is 6'7. But He will not be maximized his shooting at Center imo

                I've seen clips of Mahmood bringing down the ball and attack the basket. Has got good handles for his size and uses his heft well. Can also hit from the outside. So he'll be a very versatile center for sure, can be a matchup nightmare for other teams.

                  I think position-wise, Konov could be utilized better as a stretch 4.

                    Do you have a video of their tuneup?

                        Oh. He arrived?

                        Maybe just recovering from Jetlag. Haha.

                        Lets wait a few days

                          Sir in fairness to Michael Hrabak I think he has a decent work rate during his stay at Shell it’s just that coach Perry M. in fairness to him he is a decent coach but he doesn’t know how to utilize the potential of the dude but when he was traded(?) to Barako Bulls I think coach YG unleash his true potential by not only one of the dreaded snipers from beyond the ark but also become a decent defender eventually even though he doesn’t have a solid dribbling skills to save his life in front of a notorious defender. I think if DDO Jr. knows how to use the full potential of AK23 without exposing to much his flipside and maximizing the floor or space to have a decent look from beyond the ark, I think the kid could become our triggerman for this entourage if only DDO Jr. knows how to play his card well.

                            nothing against Hrabak per se, but do you remember the hype when he was drafted? noone saw him play at all when he came to the Philippines, tapos 2nd pick. yes, he did improve in other areas but he is still known and relied upon as a spot up shooter as oppose to when people where saying we he got drafted. that he will be a corner stone of a team that drafts him. he has usable skill that we all appreciated, but he was hyped too much during the draft.

                              Yup I totally agree on that..in fact one of my grandpa being a diehard Elvis P. fanboy gushed one time if he is the son of the late King of Rock n' Roll..hehehehe... anyway I hope AK23 has more to offer other than his Splash moves.

                                Lol yeah i do recall this one ala-Sonny Alvarado dw 6'7 can play 1 to 5 positions
                                Nevertheless he was serviceable, bit on the soft side like a Mark Telan or Aldrich Ramos but had good
                                timing as a shotblocker (weakside)
