At least we have an SBP official who's pulling her weight and getting things done for Philippine basketball. -

It seems things at the SBP are starting to turnaround with Erica Dy at the helm.Originally posted by IPC View Post
I think Erica is doing a much better job than her predecessor- Sonny Barrios. Parang walang nagawa sa SBP si Barrios eh."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.

That's the significant difference eh when you have a former basketball player or basketball coach as a high ranking SBP official as compared to a business executive as an SBP high ranking official. The former most likely will have much more PASSION than the latter in doing his/her job for the betterment of Philippine basketball.
Yan yung malaking difference eh."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'll give Panlilio credit for appointing Dy. Might have been Ateneo connection, but so far, so good.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Hope Dy doesn't end up being a hated figure when her time with SBP is up.Comment

Oh maybe that's the greatest thing Panlilio has done for Phi basketball - appoint somebody like an Erica Dy as Executive Director to replace an incompetent one in Sonny Barrios.Originally posted by IPC 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 like his ball handling skills, and potential to be a 3-level scorer. Passing needs to be developed, and his development rate will say if he can play the 1 or bottom out as a secondary playmaker.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
I see him playing the 4 as his worst case scenario (no development from now up to his prime), 3-spot is his current trajectory, 2-spot is very attainable while developing 1-guard skills is a super-stretch goal. He has very solid physical tools.Comment

AJ is a 3&D big, a plug and play player in any system. Can play as a lone big, and being a local, he can partner with ANY of our other bigs (Kai, benny, jmf, ange, carl, japeth). Needs to strengthen his lower body tho, which i will bet he already knows. He is a smart kid on and off the court. I say he has the lowest ceiling because I find it hard to see him develop other facets of his game--particularly ball-handling, scoring, post game--to a high enough level. I think this is already how he will play, and his improvements will come on technique and health/physical standpoint.Originally posted by IPC View Post
Kai's development this year in both b-league and gilas is very eye-catching and makes me feel optimistic about his trajectory. I'm high on him surpassing Ange on your timeline, maybe not on those particular skillsets but as an overall player, kai is going to be better. I always thought he has the lowest floor of the 3 but lately, he is showing that he has the highest ceiling as well. Playing in good systems in both b league and gilas, i am in the opinion that he can actualize nearer to his ceiling than to his floor.Comment

he’s listed at 6’5 and his wingspan was listed 6’7 while in the article it says he’s 6’6 with a 6’8 wingspan.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

My expectations for Jacob Bayla is his floor is a Chris Koon while his ceiling si a Dwight Ramos.お元気ですか？Comment

That's possible. But I would include an asterisk*. His floor is current* Koon.Originally posted by r1ck View Post
I think future Koon still has high upside. His broken foot last season delayed his trajectory. Koon at the same age as Bayla won major awards in HS along with winning state chips. Several D1 offers.
He was like a Ginobili in HS...lefty, same height, same position, same style. If he was entering college just now, he will be highly sought-after and projections about him will be very high.Comment

Sonny Barrios is a PBA Grandpa.
you know what I mean.
no offense to those typical grandpa out there..I love my own kin.
but the PBA Grandpas are a different animal as far as running the show specifically our National Federation.Comment

Gilas needs more wings who can defend the 3. I feel that if you're not a star scorer in FIBA, at the wing, the best choices are wings who can defend their man, and then shoot.Originally posted by TheRodster21 View Post
Hopefully, Bayla and Harris can develop into those kinds of players, Lopez, Briones, and Belmonte too.Comment
