    Sir CoJ,

    we can only conclude that Rommel Adducul scenario if he is already strutting his stuff at the PBA, good thing about Balti he has a decent pulse at the FT lines compared to the likes of Adducul, Rich Alvarez, Enrico Villanueva, Richard Del Rosario and Mac Cuan whom until their retirement doesn't know the basic mechanics to make sure it is a sureball sadly they ended their career with a horrible FT percentage. as for the active player(s), Rafi Reavis may somehow join that unfortunate club."antagal na sa PBA, bano pa rin sa FT line..naman eh".

    back to Balti, as I said he may be transform into a different animal if he will be handled by a competent coach with a good system

    let's see.

      I hope it's not too late, he's already 27-28 yrs old and developed a lot of bad habits in the MPBL

        Guys, do U think Bennie Boatwright is a good rebounder? I hope he is becoz we would be needing a good rebounding naturalized player to cover for Kai Sotto who isn't really known as a good rebounder for his size. AJ Edu is a good rebounder which could somewhat compensate for Kai's shortcoming in rebounding, but Edu is injury prone.
        "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

          It is hard to gauge. PBA players are smaller. He plays alongside a good rebounder in June Mar. But I think he is more a finesse player.

            He's a good defensive rebounder. Not that good at offensive rebounding, though. Looked at his rebounding percentages in Mexico, PBA, and CBA (https://basketball.realgm.com/player...76229).​

              His rebounding stats in Mexico & the CBA aren't impressive.

                I looked at rebound percentages, not raw rebounding numbers. They can be a better indication of how good a player is at rebounding the ball on either end. On offensive rebounds, threshold is maybe 9-10%. On defensive rebounding, maybe 17%. Total rebounds could be 15%.

                  Low offensive rebounding numbers could be attributed to him usually being used as a spacer on offense. His defensive reb% are encouraging.

                    Basketball brawl in a ligang labas somewhere in Bulacan. As seen in the video, Kevin Quiambao was fouled hard (KQ crashed to the floor) by Alpha BA. Alpha is a FSA from LPU Batangas. KQ’s teammates quickly came to his defense and attacked Alpha while Quiambao tried to be a pacifier. A number of guys then took a couple of kicks and wild swings towards Alpha. Of course the FSA returned the favor with gusto and connected some solid hits while his assailants missed their target like drunkards. Lol. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and defused the fracas.

                    IMO, the handlers/mother teams of our Gilas players and also the SBP, must be vigilant on their ligang labas activities. The security there is pretty much non existent and a player can be mauled or worse be stabbed or gunned down by a mindless moron. Hefty pot money, pustahan plus a rowdy environment is a perfect recipe for unfortunate disasters.

                      I'm thinking maybe former Talk n' Text import 6-foot-8 Cameron Oliver may be a better choice as Gilas next naturalized player. Like Boatwright, Oliver also plays at the 4 spot, can operate inside & outside & is more athletic than Boatwright. I think Oliver has a better defensive skills & rebounding that Boatwright.

                        We can say we have bias for Oliver given his physical tools can really be handy against the likes of japan (who plays fast so if we counter it with a guy with that big and that strong and that skill)..

                        But still believe that opportunities given to our naturalized players is enough compensation for them(Asian leagues Supply and demand). No more marcus douthit like allowances or Blatche like perks (having 6 guy entourage) everytime he comes for gilas
                        To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
                        1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

                          He had a torn ACL didnt he? He might not be as explosive if he ever has.

                                My bad. He had a knee sprain while with TNT. The naturalization talks stopped after that. https://www.rappler.com/sports/pba/t...r-knee-injury/
