Same sentiments bro. While I see Mike Philipps as not having the qualities of a franchise player (far from that). He could be a perfect energy role player in the mold of a Mark Pingris. And he's only around 21 or 22 at present. I just hope he gets the exemption from FIBA in 2 to 3 years time."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 IV -
I think he will get an exemption ala Slaughter/Newsome.. he can understand and speak the language enough, has been in the country long enough and studied here, plus played college ball.. it will only be a matter of time..Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
what is more important now is for him to improve more and be a taller, bigger and better marc pingris type of player..Comment

Phipps being raw and still needing to develop is really the essence of the FiBA rules and what it's trying to promote via regulation, which is essentially each federation should develop its players. And if that includes established roots in the country by cultural immersion (learning language etc) the better ..Comment

Maybe it would be wiser for Mike Philipps to play in the PBA when he turns pro than play in Japan or Korea or Taiwan if only to boost his chances of getting FIBA exemption, right bros?

Talking about being better than Mark Pingris, I think Philipps can develop & polish medium range jump shot (15 to 18 feet) - something that Pingris never developed.Originally posted by zuma169 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.

haha I can tell kennteh as below 6'4.. 6'3 at least as only he has shorter wingspan hence looking small but kquiam definitely not 6'5...brownlee is a legit 6'5 and he is tall enough.. kquaim isnt tall nough even in phil standardsOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Maybe RDO is almost as tall as Japeth Aguilar as well
Kenneth Duremdes who was listed as 6-foot-3 may actually be only around a fraction of an inch above 6-foot-2. While Kevin Quiambao is at least 6-foot-5.To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

Maybe Phillips can play for Chooks, would that qualify as local league? I don't want him enslaved by the PIBIEY.sigpicComment

You rather have him play 3x3 basketball and lose out on the development?Originally posted by live_evil View PostComment

My suggestion regarding Philipps is, play in the PBA for the meantime. Then after getting FIBA exemption, venture on playing in Japan or Korea.
The goals are to get FIBA exemption, then after that play in a pro league which could utilize your potential & earn more money & be available for national team service in FIBA qualifiers & tournaments - things that a player may not have much privillege while playing in the PBA."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.

Why when is Philipps exhausting his college years of eligibility ( he can earn money while in Lasalle ) ? Note Taane (i would know LOL) and Mbala were paid handsomely in Lasalle. the Ravena bros were in no rush to enter the PBA as they were paid well while in collegeLast edited by DAdmiral; 05-23-2023, 12:37 AM.Comment

He should then he might have to play a bit of PBA if he needs to reach the same number of years as Newsome.Originally posted by DAdmiral View PostComment

The difference is Newsome started his residency at 21 yrs old as compared to Mike around 17 yrs old, quite a big difference, essentially the younger you start residency the less number of residency years are required , e.g . Spencer ..Originally posted by Sikatrix View PostComment

He started in UAAP last year. Last year has 2 seasons. He still has remaining two playing years with DLSU (until 2024). After his DLSU stint, he already has 5 years of residency.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post

Just some Trivia , James Spencer got his passport at 18 years old : "After all, he would've been a part of the 2018 Fiba Under-18 Asian Championship in Thailand had he gotten his Philippine passport on time last year" , James was born in 2000. so essentially if Spencer moved to UP as an 17/18 year old , got his passport at 18 , then as a 19 year old ( 1 or 2 years residency) he was exempted .
Now what's the difference with Philipps ? main difference is Spencer's name was submitted as part of the roster for FIBA clearance for the U19 Worlds, so essentially I tell you now if Mike's name is included in the roster for the World cup , to be requested for FIBA clearance , he will get approved ( very very confident) , the only question is will the SBP put his name in for FIBA clearance approval and essentially exemption?Comment
