Possible but highly unlikely. If at all, Dwight will be the 4 and not Clarkson. Clarkson simply plays his natural position which is the pg/sg. maybe in spurts, but it’d be a waste if we don’t utilize Aj at the 4. Dude can contain the perimeter and is adept in hedging and blitzing. Too bad he’s nursing a mild ankle sprain.Never look too far ahead. You might stumble on a block right in front of you. -

If only Chris Newsome is about 3 to 4 years younger, he would be a good Gilas prospect for the post-2023 World Cup."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

I think Thompson is the type of point guard who wants to feed the bigs. He also had good passes to Kai in the 4th window.Originally posted by JOI2dWorld View Post
Thompson is the type of point guard U would want for Kai to play with in order to maximize Kai's potential. Thompson is the type of player who will always find Kai in its best scoring position near the basket. Yung iba kasing teammates ni Kai sa Hiroshima Dragonflies, especially the imports, couldn't locate Kai while he's in a good scoring position near the basket. Mga buaya kasi yung ibang imports ng Hiroshima."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.

Concept is nice, but what I saw from 2017 to 2019 was, there was no effort in closing out on shooters, or no rotations at all. When we collapse, we have to be able to rotate or at least pre-rotate to shooters, like Tab's young Gilas.Originally posted by zairex View Post
These past windows, though, I'm seeing more effort in closing out. Credit to the staff. I just hope we retain that effort.Comment

Without JB, PF will be our weakness. Dwight is our one and only decent SF. Turning him to PF will force JC to SF, making the team shorter. So I think getting a PF should be Chots priority when they come back. From PBA it could be Tratter. B league, Carl or Adams. And there’s Balti.Comment

Interesting how Thompson has transformed to a real lead guard, can really see the benefits of athleticism as a PG, he's not mismatched vs other FIBA guards
I think Newsome lacks handles , shooting and passing for a PG, he's forced to pick up his dribble when preasuredComment

Tratter's been the subject of criticism from fans lately, though. He hasn't exactly been a positive to Converge according to them.Originally posted by Rds View PostComment

is perkins too small for fiba competitions? i know he is not eligible but he can have a good case for exemption, imagine a prime Williams. Washington and Devance in today's basketball landscape the alaska Joe Devance is the best version of himselfComment

Perkins at best is around 6-foot-4 so he's undersized as a 4. Maybe in the Asian level he would be good enough.Originally posted by JOI2dWorld 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.

Oh. That shortens the list. But honestly Chot is just making excuses of not adding to the pool because no time to get a visa. If he was really serious in shoring up the PF spot in the pool he would have done it earlier. Brownlee is making us look good at PF right now. But when he's gone we will have a giant donut at PF. He will force centers like Japeth, Edu and Poy to play PF. A role they havent played for years.Originally posted by IPC View Post
Hasn't Chot seen enough when he paired Kai and Japeth? This Euro tuneup will partially go down the toilet if we don't identify our starting PF. Tune up with JB getting majority of PF minutes when we're targeting JC is stupid. Unless, they are considering not getting JC.Comment

BecauseThompson was during his college years. How do you think he gets 3 double in college like Jalojon.Originally posted by DAdmiral View PostComment

What D'Admiral was implying is that, he's impressed with Thompson's transformation from a natural 2-guard into a legit lead point guard. I think Thompson played as a wingman for most of his basketball career. It is with Ginebra where he started playing point guard or combo guard.Originally posted by zairex View Post
As for Newsome, yeah, he's no point guard & his handles is a questionmark for a point guard, though his passing is for me impressive. Newsome simply lacks the reps playing point guard.
BTW, to D'Admiral: What's your take on CJ Perez playing as a point guard or combo guard for Gilas?"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.

Nah, Scottie was never a natural 2 guard bro. Scottie was used as a combo guard or even the PG in college while in BGSM he plays like an all around perimeter guy, 2 guard is the farthest thing Scottie played since his weakness is his shooting.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment
