Originally posted by IPC View PostAyun, Beda kind of has a good program when it comes to producing bigger guards and taller wings, one of the better NCAA schools to produce players fit for FIBA. Bolick, Oftana. Hopefully naman, they can produce more. Sila ng Ateneo, may track record na niyan.
I think we should measure how successful schools are in producing and developing FIBA-fit players, not just players who can be successful in the PBA. Cause, you know there are good players in the PBA that aren't exactly cutting it in the international scene.
Just imagine if Perez and Arvin never left Ateneo. Perez might have been a PG before he graduated and competed internstionally regularly. Arvin might have been a decent defender and even became more of a monster offensively.
Now u see Ateneo is forced to make up the home grown talent deficit with Filfors. These guys are native English speakers with built in advantage on homegrowns to anything related to English.
So unfortunately it is Filfors now who benefit with Tabs training not homegrowns.
I just cant believe that Filfors are just better students than homegrowns. They are just probably better at English comprehension and writing. We shouldnt penalize home growns just because they are worse at English than Filfors.

Originally posted by Rds View PostThis is a good motivation but unfortunately Ateneos level for student athletes is too high. Ever since Thirdy came in they have been red shirting guys for acads. I dont see that even in the US. High potential home growns cant afford to waste a year just to prop up their acads. Even just a year in the UAAP can put you in the radar of Asian leagues.

Now, as for taller, more versatile defensive wings/forwards, potentially or otherwise, ther are other schools now. UP has 6'4" Torculas, 6'6" Lucero, 6'6" Briones, 6'5" Ashon Andrews, and 6'6" Mark Belmonte. La Salle has 6'5" Abadam. Let's hope these schools can develop said players to be versatile perimeter players and especially defenders. Ewan ko lang for big guards, though.

Don't know if its fake news,but the article can be interpreted in both ways,the writer didn't really give any reference or fact,its like "breaking news"more to follow.

If PBA still above over SBP, Any people who will run the show for SBP still take a bow to PBA... PBA is the biggest stakeholder of SBP... And with possible Al Chua running the show for SBP in the future? Goodluck with that... I don't think he will prioritize development... It will still the same cycle for us as Gilas still under PBA for borrowing players for FIBA competitions, And also Al Chua is one of BCAP's head, For sure he will rather to hire Local coach than hiring foreign coach.. Eh no.1 against yan against foreign coaches eh....

So yeah, I think after the WC, it's time for a rebuild with useful younger PBA, collegiate, B.League, and KBL players, and call up as many as possible to form a 22-30 man pool. Add some of this year's U16 and U18 players into the mix. We can't rely on the older guys forever.

Can Joshua Hardeman be considered a local? Born in the Philippines to American Parents. If he gets PH passport through Naturalization will he then be considered local since he was born in the country and his basketball heritage is also backed up by the Philippines?

I have no issue about NP. But having foreign players with no Filipino blood to play as a local is revolting. I don't think the PH is that desperate. We will win or loss with what we have. I'd rather see a fighting PH team loss to Cambodia than win against Lebanon with Kouame playing as local

Originally posted by dubidub View Postyeah it does sound weird that we have a lot of talented tall 4s right now. but it's a good problem to have. not to mention our young guys offer different skillsets so it gives us plenty of options. tamayo as the face up four, mike as the energy guy rim running type, and baltazar as the versatile four who could defend wings.
