It is nice to see our Usual Gilas Core or Gilas Usual Prospects are getting exposure in international leagues. Especially high level ones like:
JC - NBA
Kai - NBL Australia
AJ - US Ncaa
Then you have the Japan B league guys: Kiefer, Thirdy, Dwight, Parks.
Then Heading in Taiwan league
Tamayo might be able to play internationally too in the near future.

However JC and Kai are the only Gilas Eligible we have in our arsenal that are playing and exposed in a Top 10 or maybe Top 5 leagues in the world. (Nba is #1, idk about NBL Australia)Comment

^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Heading is now playing in B-2 league in Japan.
Also worth mentioning are the Pinoy players playing as asian imports in Korea' KBL - RJ Abarrientos, Rhenz Abando & SJ Belangel.
Hope Tamayo also plays in the KBL. I heard Dave Ildefonso is being eyed by some KBL teams. I hope it pushes through..
As I always say, the more good Pinoy players in overseas leagues, the better for Philippine basketball."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

Yup. Though I think some PBA Players still deserve consideration for Gilas spot for 2023 like Scottie, Perez, Malonzo, Ofrana, Navarro, etc.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
But ofc the core will be the ones playing overseasComment

Yes of course. I like Perez, Malonzo, Iskati, Oftana, Bolick & Navarro playing for Gilas. But the issue would always be their availability. They will be available for the much awaited 2023 World Cup, but what about other FIBA tournaments & window qualifiers like the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup & its qualifying windows? Would these PBA superstars be available?Originally posted by mathematicianrcg 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.

BTW, I think Navarro is KBL-bound. With the way he has been playing at Northport, most likely there would be a team or teams in the KBL who wud be interested in getting his services."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.

not for this season though, he's under contract until after the governor's cup.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

That's what I meant. Upon the end of Navarro's contract with Northport, he is expected to sign a contract with a KBL team. And even if no KBL team would be interested on Navarro, I'm pretty sure some B-league teams would be interested on him especially with the way Navarro's has played so far with Northport. And we are talking here of a player who is around 24 or 25, which means he's bound to improve more.Originally posted by magic_chiongson 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.

Dalph is waiting for an invite?
PG Competition for Gilas kinda tougher now with Kiefer, Bolick, Scottie, Alas, Juan, SJ, RJ, and ofc PanopioComment

I know that a lot of posters here don't like the idea of Gilas having "bansot" point guard/s but I think with the way RJ Abarrientos has been playing in the KBL, then maybe RJ is worth a consideration. I mean, we could maintain a good pool of PG's in Gilas for the post 2023 FIBA World Cup era with Iskati Thompson, Bolick, Schonny Winston, Dalph Panopio, RJ Abarrientos & maybe even an Aaron Black. Having a good No. of PG's in the national pool is very logical since player availability will always be an issue with PBA Gilas players. Let's face it, in as much as we would always want Iskati & Bolick in Gilas uniform, most of the time they are not available.
While RJ Abarrientos is "bansot", I think he's too good a point guard to pass on. He's playing very impressively in the KBL in his rookie year there, & he's what, 23 yrs old? He's bound for more improvement. Imagine how good he will become 3 to 4 years from now if he continues to play in the KBL & gets the reps playing the FIBA game.
I think hindi na masama if RJ is paired with a good size PG in Gilas. Say an Iskati-Abarrientos or a Bolick-Abarrientos or a Winston-Abarrientos point guard rotation would be good enough in Asian level competition.Last edited by JAMSKIE; 12-10-2022, 11:11 PM."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.

Surprisingly at world level, it's not actually the bigs we're we are most mismatched, but at the guards and wing positions (I'm serious) , these are the positions where we will get burned..Comment
