I watched his game against UP, there were some interesting things he can do for his size but his shooting needs work other teams leave him open because he’s such a black hole in that area

If SBP is brave and clever enough, they should put the names of JC, Kouame and Philips on the roster of Gilas this World Cup.Originally posted by DAdmiral View PostAttack

In practical terms you don't actually have to put all 3 in the final 12 roster , you can submit a pool of 18 players for FIBA clearance ( include all the supporting documents (residency etc) for Koaame and Philipps) , if they say yes , then at last you have the option to select them in final 12. ( and they're cleared forever for future tournaments ) , quite a no brainer right ? but will the SBP do this ? I'm not sure and don't think so.. They rather put Junmar in the pool LOLOriginally posted by ja.he View Post
in 2019 WC Gilas has a 19 man pool published here in FIBA's website ( submitted) https://www.fiba.basketball/basketba...world-cup-poolLast edited by DAdmiral; 05-23-2023, 02:07 AM.Comment

The better. However, knowing how short-sighted, uncreative and unimaginative SBP is, I will not expect them to do this. They would rather have the fan favorites (Brownlee, Japeth and Junemar) over those that the team can be used for long term (Philips, Kouame).Originally posted by DAdmiral View PostAttack

Literally submit both Kouame and Phiipps in the pool for WC , and make MVP do what he did in 2011 FIBA Asia and beg the SEC general to allow for Lutz and Lassiter to play , (but in Manila ) let's see if the FIBA sec general has the guts to say NO to both request . LOL ... sounds drastic but why not?Comment

Are we sure we dont want Ange to finally fix his ACL? Instead of him being less than 100% forever?Comment

the idea isn't to necessarily play him but to submit his name in the18 man pool roster for FIBA clearance and exceptionOriginally posted by Sikatrix View PostComment

How I hate to agree with U bro, but sadly, you're absolutely right. SBP should preserve 2 slots for FIBA exemption hopefuls (I would like use this term) Mike Philipps & Ange Kouame for future purposes. But as you have pointed out, SBP being so short-sighted & trying please the PBA would rather give those spots to players like Junmar, Japeth or Pogoy who won't be of any value in the national team 2 or 3 years from now.Originally posted by ja.he 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 are 1 of the hosts of the 2023 FIBA World Cup so that's a good leverage right there. I just hope bro that our good people from SBP realizes this idea of yours.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
Oh! Am I too optimistic about SBP?

With the future of Philippine basketball as a heavy priority, here's my 18-man pool for the 2023 World Cup?
1. Iskati Thompson
2. Kiefer Ravena (I would prefer Robert Bolick in this spot but Bolick seems not that committed to Gilas recently)
3. CJ Perez
4. Thirdy Ravena (I would choose Thirdy over Chris Newsome becoz of age factor)
5. Jordan Heading
6. Rayray Parks
7. Jordan Clarkson (NP)
8. Dwight Ramos
9. Jamie Malonzo
10. Calvin Oftana (if only Navarro isn't injured, I'll choose him over Oftana)
11. Carl Tamayo
12. Mason Amos
13. Mike Philipps
14. Japeth Aguilar
15. Ange Kouame
16. Kai Sotto
17. AJ Edu
18. Poy Erram (its actually a toss-up between him & Junmar but I feel Erram is more useful)
I put Philipps & Kouame in there mainly for exemption purposes. I would love a Justin Baltazar in there but for reason I don't know, it seems SBP doesn't like Baltazar in the Gilas pool."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.

2nd follow up question, if Koaume and Philipps get approved exempted, who's your final 12 ?Comment
-
Philips for me, simply because Chot is the coach, and we'll probably have Kai and either any of JMF or Japeth. Now this is not a knock on Ange but it's just better to use Mike at this point as he's going to be more useful in Chot's system. Pag hindi na lang siguro si Chot ang coach (maybe after the Asian Games?), only then that Ange will be regularly penciled in to final 12-man line-ups whether it be for FIBA qualifying games or tournament proper itself.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
As a direct answer to your question:
Scottie
CJ
Clarkson
Rhenz/Thirdy
Dwight
Parks
Malonzo
CT
Motor Mike
Kai
AJ
Japhet/JMFComment
