JUST IN: An expanded Gilas Pilipinas pool of 30 players including a bulk of pro standouts has been proposed for a loaded 2022 schedule after a meeting between coach Chot Reyes and PBA, Commissioner Willie Marcial told The STAR.

Using the Gilas Pilipinas to show that PBA is still alive and kicking(after exodus of good amateur basketball players to overseas and withdrawal of Alaska in the PBA)..

Marcial, Reyes meet, tackle Gilas schedule, players' pool for FIBA World Cup: https://www.pba.ph/news/marcial-reye...fiba-world-cup

OK, the PBA is now coming to the rescue.

Please, from the PBA, I hope the RIGHT PLAYERS for every position will be called to the pool, whether for the FIBA Asia Cup or the WC, or even the windows. The only PBA players that I think are FIBA-fit are Japeth, June Mar, Oftana, Perez, Bolick, Marcio, and Romeo. Probably Arvin Tolentino as well.

Oh. 30 players Pool.

Pba + Cadets.

Interesting. I hope I will like the Players included.

Hopefully it is more of cadets. But obviously it will be more pba. Hehe.

Anyway, Let's wait for the pool na lang.

Di talaga papayag pba that they will not be part of 2023 WC especially hosted by us

Basta, I think the following should be in the pool, sort of non-negotiable: Kai, Oftana, Tamayo, Baltazar, Lebron, Navarro, Kouame, Dwight, Thirdy, Bolick, and Kiefer.

The non-negotiables, along with the other FIBA-fit PBA players, would be 17, all in all. 13 slots left. It's probably a pipe dream, but I do hope some youngsters make it like CJ Cansino (though I fear he would be more 2/3 than combo guard with Chot as coach), Cholo Anonuevo, Kevin Quiambao, Ice Hontiveros, Raven Cortez, Jordi GDL, Jonnel Policarpio, at least for the June/July and August WC windows.

If my pipe dream comes true, that's 7 left for the PBA players. So that's where realistically, Pogoy, Troy, Scottie, LA, Castro, Erram, and Beau come in.

non pba/amateur players should be

NBL - Kai
NZ NBL - Tuffin
Japayukis - BRP jr. (hope), Kief, ferdinand, dweet
T1 - Heading
UAAP - Tamayo, Balty, Ange, Belangel, Rjay, dave ildefonso
US NCAA - Edu, Dalph

The rest PBA players (Perez, Bolick, Oftana should be in the pool)

Forgot to account for Heading, AJ, and Dalph, as well as RJ and Dave. Might revise my "pipe dream" pool.

So you have 16-18 non-negotiables. This is a pretty good pool, with the PBA players.

I WILL TRY TO MAKE A 30 PLAYERS POOL.

NON PBA:

Kai, AJ, Dalph, Parks, Kiefer, Thirdy, Dwight, Juan, Kobe, Tuffin, Heading, Tamayo, Baltazar, Kouame, Quiambao, Dave, Navarro, Lopez, Clarkson

PBA:

Oftana, Bolick, Perez, Adams, Wright, Pogoy, Troy, Japeth, JMF, Romeo, Lee

I am not really too updated in pba now

not a bad list, the current stars are either non eligible like Mikey, Perkins, Malonzo, CStan, or too old like Abueva, Cabagnot, Lee, Castro etc.. You could actually add Greggy boy to the list, sayang height eh

[Rds]

For the SEA games this will be my 30 man pool. I am assuming this is a training ground for 2023 and not a PR move. I am removing the UAAP guys, except for Kouame, as they cannot play. I am removing the international league guys, as I don't think B league will lend Thirdy and Dwight so soon. I am adding the TNT guys (except Kelly) as I assume Chot will still add them.


Gilas mainstays(4):
C: Kouame
SF: Navarro
PF: Rangel
SG: Tungcab

Former Gilas cades PBA(3):
PG: Nieto
SG: Suerte
C: Go

Unaffiliated(1):
SF: Lopez

PBA(22)
C: Greg, Japeth, June Mar
PF: Erram, Rike, Almazan, Adamos, Tratter
SF: Oftana, Mocon, Tolentino, Rosario
SG: Perez, Wright, Pogoy, Banal, Black, Trollano
PG: Bollick, Scottie, Quinto, Montalbo

[Rds]

But for me, if we will have a 30 man pool beyond the SEA games but for 2023 it will be this:

Gilas mainstays(2):
C: Kouame
SF: Navarro

International(5):
C: Kai
SF: Dwit, Thirdy
SG: Heading
PG: Kiefer

UAAP(3):
PF/SF: Baltazar, Tamayo
SF/SG: Dave

Former Gilas cades PBA(2):
PG: Nieto
C: Go

Unaffiliated(1):
SF: Lopez

PBA(19)
C: Greg, Japeth, June Mar
PF: Erram, Rike, Almazan, Adamos, Tratter
SF: Oftana, Mocon, Tolentino, Rosario
SG: Perez, Wright, Pogoy, Trollano
PG: Bollick, Scottie, Quinto

Crap, I forgot about Adamos. He has a decent outside shot, and can play and defend 4 and 5, and has some size at 6'7", especially at 4.

Bro no disrespect, you're one of the solid posters here sa IBN, but what the hell is the infatuation with Arvin Tolentino? Everytime na may mock up line-up ka parating "probably Arvin Tolentino", "maybe Arvin Tolentino", "I think Arvin Tolentino should be included". Lol bro, the kid is a tweener, too small to play pf, too slow to guard SF's and the wings, and I'm never surprised kahit once di naconsider to, tamad pa to dumepensa, I just don't get your infatuation with this kid bro

Size at the wing, I guess, and shooting. That's my only answer.

I get your points, though. I'm a Ginebra fan, might explain my infatuation, but yes, I have seen his lack of motor and defense. Probably an avenue for improvement.
