Japan is borderline world cup team, if you beat them, you have high chance of punching a ticket to the world cup. Its not the old japan youth program before that we can beat talent for talent (sometimes because of size adv), now that like us, they resort now to players with foreign genes..Last edited by reamily; 06-13-2022, 02:08 AM.To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

Template of Japanese national teams, may it be the seniors & youth level teams - they play very disciplined basketball out there with emphasis on teamwork. With these players with foreign bloodline in the youth team, the team could only get better.Originally posted by reamily View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

We need to step up on defense against these guys. At least keep it close.Originally posted by reamily View PostComment

Not enough sample size to say they are borderline WC team already, they outclassed Kuwait but that was expected as Kuwait is not that established in basketball yet.We needed a Kaiju to beat them last U16 and the result was up in the air until the final seconds, although his supporting cast isn't that impressive. Our guards and wings better be more impressive than last U16 especially with Dribble dribble jr. coaching.Originally posted by IPC View PostComment

DDO Jr. should better coach this team up to par or else Japan will easily beat us & our Batang Gilas boys would be so much pressured facing a strong opponent in the quarterfinals.Originally posted by Juancho View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Last time there was a Kai Sotto that Japan had no answer for. This iteration has no talent like Kai, though Japan doesn’t have a scorer like Chikara Tanaka either to carry them.Comment

Even better, does he have Kai Sotto and AJ Edu this time?Originally posted by ARMIR View Post
I can’t see Caelum single handedly bailing us out.Comment

No need to panic yet, there is no Padrigao and Fortea in this batch likewise. But our guards and wings better be more productive than those two or we'll have enough reason to really be worried.Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

LOL Australia is basically the Team USA of FIBA Asia with New Zealand being Canada.
I doubt any Asian team can beat them in the next decade or so.Comment

I don’t think that’s true and I’m Australian.
The senior team is beatable, full strength nz or japan are capable of winning.
U18/U19s next year, 04/05/06 group should win but China should be competitive, nz too, Phillipines possibly if everyone available.
U16/U17s in 2 years, 07/08/09 group, it’s pretty wide open. Australia hasn’t shown alot of great prospects in this age group, womens side a different story.Comment
