Guys, do you think that in coach Tab's system, bawal ang defensive liability? That no matter how good a scorer or how offensive skilled a player is, if he's a deadweight in offense, he has no place in coach Tab's system, unless maybe that player is as good as Jordan Clarkson.

Well, those are world imports. The thing is, even the best defensive specialists of the PBA back then like Glen Capacio, Rey Evangelista, Alvin Teng, Chris Jackson, got burned by imports most of the time. Thirdy is more known for his offense than his defense. But what I like about Thirdy's stint in Japan is that he is getting the reps matching up with good quality wingmen, may it be imports or local Japanese players. Such experience would only polish both his offensive & defensive skills.Originally posted by neo 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.

I think so.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
If you are not an exceptional Offensive Player like Carmelo Anthony or James Harden, I dont think you will crack the lineup by being a def liability.
Clarkson is not a bad defender imo. Kai and AJ are great rim protectors.
Two way players are a must in Fiba Worlds imo.
Gabe is a defensive specialist. But he lacks offense in world standards. Jeff Chan was a good offensive sniper, but he was a defensive liabilityComment

liability no u wont cut it.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
but if ur a below average defender with elite skills in other areas, u have a good shot (e.g. castro, romeo).Comment

I have a feeling that if Samboy Lim, Vergel Meneses, Jojo Lastimosa, & maybe even Allan Caidic, are playing in this current generation, baka mahirapan sila to get a crack at coach Tab's team no matter how offensive skilled they were. All those players mentioned being weak defenders. Maybe coach Tab would make a special exemption on Caidic's case knowing how explosive a shooter he was during his prime & its very rare in Phi basketball to have a shooter as good as Caidic."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.

Even if for instance Clarkson is a deadweight on defense, I think coach Tab would still pick him for the sake of winnability knowing how much impact Clarkson will bring to Gilas. I mean with Clarkson in the team, parang given na yung at least 20 pts. per game stats that he's going to provide the team. For a coach, that's too tempting a privilege to pass up.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.

I ask you guys, if for instance you're the Gilas head coach, would you pass up a talent like Allan Caidic or Danny Seigle as these players are defensive liabilities?"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.

Imagine the backlash coach Tab would get if he doesn't call up JC for a Gilas stint if JC is available, no matter how little practice time JC will get when he joins Gilas it's a no brainer he should be part of the final 12 Angelo can wait for his turn.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

No. Because they are exceptional offense.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Allan Caidic - Exceptional Outside Shooting. As in, Near Nba Level shooting.
Danny Seigle - Walking Mismatch
Anyway, In every rule there is an exceptionComment

If they're willing to bend the rules a little for Kai and Dwight surely a great talent like JC gets a pass no? That is if he still plays at the same level in 2023. You could probably hide 1 or 2 bad defensive players if you have at least 3 guys who are above average on defense and you have a great system.Comment

I think that was what the late coach Ron Jacobs did with the RP-NCC team in the 80's having defensive deadweights Allan Caidic & Samboy Lim in the roster.Originally posted by thatweirdguy 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.

Yeah Gabe wasn't much of a scorer, but his dunks were highlight-worthy. Moreso that Kobe Paras.Originally posted by mathematicianrcg View PostComment
