Originally posted by BJ_Reloaded View Postfor me personally I am not expecting too much on the first and the second year of that 4 year cycle because the players are not literally teammates even in the club level, their would be many bumps here and there especially when we started playing the NZL, AUS, LEB and even the A team of JAP bannered by Hachi and Wata here in the Asia-Oceania level.
for me I am more concern on our boys and girls division because they will be the one who will harvest whatever seedlings coach Tim had planted now up to 2027.

Yeah. I think Japeth will replace Edu at least for this window as the latter recovers from a knee injury. Good that despite not expected to play in the 1st window, Edu still attended the 1st practice. Edu realizes that he needs to learn & assimilate coach Tim's even if he can't join the scrimmage or practice.

Don't tell me he will pull Japeth everytime Edu is not available. TC is playing it by ear right now. But I don't think this is the only time Edu will not be available. And everytime he is not the clamor will grow for TC to add to his 12 and to finally retire Japeth for good.

The problem is outside of Sotto, Edu, Tamayo and Baltazar we dont have any more young notable agile and tall players. Mike Phillips could shore up the frontline if he gets cleared to be a local but beyond that gilas doesnt have anyone else in the pipeline it seems.
And to think they would enlist an old Japeth as a replacement while they could have taken a young player like an Arana, Baltazar or Amos to fill in the roster.お元気ですか?

Its Cone's team now,he would get replacements from PBA who knows his system no matter how old,or not FIBA level skills,he trusts his system will overcome the shortcomings,he proved it in the Asian Games,not until he gets a series of failure,until then no one would dare to call him out,as long as his winning percentage is acceptable to SBP and fans then its his call,even if he fails on the big games as long as he keeps winning in Asia he's the GOAT until the end of the contract.

I think if only coach Tim can have his way, he would have tapped Baltazar as AJ Edu's replacement in the 1st window. But we can sense somebody or certain people don't want Baltazar in Gilas & we know why.
Wala akong makitang dahilan why a Justin Baltazar wouldn't be a Gilas prospect when we all know that Phi basketball doesn't have the luxury of having enough options at the 5 & 4 spots."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, Tim Cone will be in a very rude awakening once Gilas once it faces the teams in the OQT and New Zealand in November.

Let's just hope AJ's healthy against NZ and in the Asia Cup. After JB retires, recall Ange or get a two-way defensive anchor 4/5.

This early years of Tim Cone era will likely go thru asa kay Brownlee; stretch before starting to learn the system before 2027….
still hoping AK34 may somehow get his exemption thru the PBA,
Balti and Heading minus some political bickerings may somehow sneak-in in a way.
