Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[mathematicianrcg]

i am confident some pba players will play on certain windows. if it means only players from mvp teams, so be it.

SMC Gilas worthy players are either ineligibles or past their primes anyway.

TNT - Parks, Pogoy, Troy, Erram

Nlex - Kiefer

Meralco - ???? ( I cannot think of anyone)

Phoenix - Wright, Chua

Most probably these are some pba players that will play on some tournaments with cadets if they are available and no pba sched.

I am willing to bet that in 2023 final 12, there will be 4-5 Pba Players ( not including special draftees)

Cadets: Kai, AJ, Baltazar, Dwight, Tamayo may be the cadets who will make the lineup

It is actually near. It is only 2 years left.

We should prepare for it now.

And these consecutive tourneys will help

.

if eligible sana, newsome could provide us size and defense at d pg position.

i would like to see first how they will perform from june to august before identifying which positions need reinforcements and if there are pba players that could potentially address such gaps/weaknesses.

Revisiting the Pba Gilas Special Draft

Because Pba players cannot be lend in the 3rd window because of conflict in pba schedule, pba is only helping Gilas thru the special draft.
Players drafted in special draft are "technically pba players loaned to the gilas program".

If I am not mistaken, these special draftees cannot play for their pba team unless SBP and Coach Tab released them from the program.( Correct me if I am wrong about this)


PBA GILAS SPECIAL DRAFTEES

A. First Batch ( 2019)

1. Isaac Go
2. Rey Suerte
3. Matt Nieto
4 Allyn Bulanadi
5. Mike Nieto

B. Second Batch (2020)

6. Jordan Heading
7. Will Navarro
8. Tzaddy Rangel
9. Jaydee Tungcab

C. Third Batch (2021)

D. Fourth Batch (2022)

If the program will be continued in the next 2 years, there will be another 2 sets of special draftees.

Some of our cadets would probably go play and train abroad ( hopefully). But majority of them would probably be a part of the next 2 batches of pba gilas special draft.

Players like Dwight, Baltazar, Tamayo may be a part of the next special drafts.

For me, ok na tong tulong ng pba. Rather than lending veteran pba players with 10 days left preperation.

let tamayo study and play a few seasons first for UP.

[neo]

It will also depends who will be the 1st pick next draft.. If Blackwater manage to get the 1st pick next year then i will expect Baltazar will might go PBA thru regular draft.. Just like Oftana...

on paper, terrafirma has more talent than blackwater so that is a strong probability. unless, terrafirma will out-tanked BW.

[mathematicianrcg]

Sure.

I actually even prefer more for him to follow kobe paras path. 1 and done with up. Then go overseas.

If not, then yeah, uaap then probably special draft.

[Sikatrix]

Tamayo can do what he wants but if for example he performs well for Gilas and a good D1 school offers full ride and everything. I hope he takes it.

[Athrunzala]

Yes. France's forwards cannot even stop Carl Tamayo

lol, this is what happens when you only watch highlights. tamayo shot 5/18 with 4 TOs and we lost by 40+ in that game. but i do like his 'mamba mentality' in that game tho, proved he's good enough on the world level

Exactly. The only players under SMC that are even remotely good enough for Gilas are as follows: CJ Perez, Terrence Romeo, Stanley Pringle, Christian Standhardinger, Japeth Aguilar, June Mar Fajardo, Marcio Lassiter, Calvin Abueva, LA Tenorio, and probably Scottie Thompson and Paul Lee.

Of the ones I mentioned, only Perez, Terrence, Pringle, Standhardinger, Abueva, and probably Scottie and Lee fit the current Gilas timeline and are still good enough. And two of them are ineligible. Plus, of those eligible, only Perez, Abueva, and Terrence can be remotely considered irreplaceable.

Perez and Terrence have a shot.

Abueva? No chance.

Abueva? No chance.

TBH it's only Perez who fits the current Gilas mold though Chot would have loved TR and Lee. If Tab wants a PBA PG, it probably would be Kiefer and Bolick who gets the call.

If Jordan Clarkson plays for Gilas in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, I bet PBA will offer its players for Gilas service & I agree with you, around 4 to 5 PBA players (excluding the special draftees) will make it to the Gilas 12-man roster.

As I've said several times, PBA still wants to have a place in the Gilas bandwagon, specially with Clarkson in tow. PBA still wants relevance with the FIBA game.

[DAdmiral]

The main question as far as 2023 roster, is how much of MVP followed by his assigned director Tab will have a say of final roster.
if it's All and company with the PBA making the calls, then who knows were that goes..

[barok espinoza]

Perez and Terrence have a shot.

Abueva? No chance.

perez is a better fit as we need an alternate for clarkson.

but he needs to improve his 3 pt shooting which is at 27%
