    Heading for CJ. Yes, I acknowledge that CJ is our most athletic guard out there and he also plays hard on defense. But up to this time he is erratic and I still can't see him creating opportunities for his teammates whenever he is on the floor. I would prefer Heading who can provide consistent threat from the perimeter, drawing out defenders and providing better spacing. His three point shooting is more beneficial for the triangle. Provides more space for the offense to drive, cut and post-up.

    Obviously, Edu for Aguilar and Malonzo or QMB in lieu of Mason.

    Excited on how well can Oftana, KQ and Tamayo plays on Sunday​. Hoping that Coach Tim will give them and Mason at least 25 minutes of playing time.
    And Heading can stay in front of his man, he's not a defensive liability.

    But I think he will replace Newsome (after New's retirement), not CJ. Newsome's closer to Gilas retirement.

      He's the better offensive player for sure, but he is soft as hell on defense.
      Dunno about that as we’ve seen Bobby Ray as the designated import stopper of San Miguel in his ABL days. He went toe to toe with those ABL imports and the likes of Tyler Lamb. Though I will agree with you, Newsome is the tougher defender. BRP Jr. is just slightly taller/longer.

        Did I hear it right from the New Zealand head coach describing Gilas as playing physical against his NZ team? I think that's very positive development. I really want our team to be very physical. Physical but not dirty. We would need such physicality against Middle East teams, NZ & Australia. We can also use such physicality to stymie finesse teams like Japan, Taiwan & even China.
        I want that physical identity for our team as well. We pride ourselves and our brand of basketball on being physical, we just need to have that in FIBA, especially our national teams. Of course, not dirty, like you said, and not too much to put us in early foul trouble.

          Agreed. That’s also why Tim Cone needs to find a better combo guard over CJ. Somebody who can replicate Newsome’s role.

          • Newnew was a hungrier defender, while ray is just putting minimal effort out there and just contending on getting his paycheck..
            To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
            1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

                  yeah this is my biggest concern, passion for the game is probably not there anymore for ray after a couple of unfortunate circumstances.

                    Stop your over-exaggeration. BRP Jr. is 31 years old. In his physical prime and he is already a Gilas vet. Has tons of reps guarding taller and world level players. Barring major injuries, his style of play makes him Gilas serviceable for at least the next 5 years. Even Chris Newsome was 31 years old in his first tour of duty for Gilas. And yeah, we get it that you're still hating on Bobby Ray's guts for ditching and ghosting your TNT.

                    About Stockton and Winston, I strongly agree that SBP must include them in the pool ASAP. They fit the template of Tim Cone's preference of guard play for his version of Gilas. Tall, good motor, hard-nosed defender and can score some if needed. Stockton, Winston, Heading and BRP Jr., just in case injuries hit anyone from Scottie, Newsome or Dwight.
                    I just stating facts.. many here agree that Parks is not we needed at this point... We need long term players, You said it Parks is 31 already, so how many years left for him to be serviceable? So better pick much younger players who can use for more than 5 years or more... And we all know CTC, he will not pick more players and he will stick to his current players even that he should expand it atleast 16 to 18 players in case that most of those players are not available ...

                    • Should be part of the Gilas pool together with Heading. A bigger version of Ramos with better offensive skills & mobility compared to Malonzo

                        I followed Parks game since his NU's days bro. I just think he does not have the foot speed, and he is a poor screen navigator and POA defender.

                        he can guard siguro slow footed small forwards for sure, but to throw him on guards like Webster, Arakji etc. He'll get cooked without a doubt and we've seen it before.

                          Fajardo might stick around till the WCQ and WC 2027.

                          If we make the olympics, we should definitely move on from him.

                          • Why on a hell FIBA allow Harris and Lewis playing together? Harris was born in New York and no Qatari blood and Lewis was born in St. Louis.. This is mockery... Filipino fans should know this Qatar's mockery of rules

                                I didnt watch the game but from the previous games I definitely think JF is a big part of Gilas physicality. He may not score or get the rebound but his presence inside is felt by other teams. Not sure we can be as physical in the paint without JMF.
