He will be forced to expand his pool after the FIBA Asia Cup or once the regression of Newsome and Fajardo's play become evident. You've mentioned Schonny and Alec as possible replacement for Newnew in the near future. Ken Tuffin was mentioned a couple times before and many of us will agree that he should be given a tryout at least. He is at least 6'3 and a known shooter. -
On the second thought, you are correct. Newsome's role and capabilities within Tim's system is really really hard to replace. If Schonny Winston can have the defensive IQ and tenacity of Chris he can be the one. And Schonny is the better offensive player over Newsome imo.Originally posted by DenzelGreat8 View PostComment

qmb should be integrated asap. even if he will not be in the final lineup, his height will be valuable during practices as he can simulate the height of opponents like how ange is being used by ctcsigpicComment

Alec Stockton is the main guy who can replace Newsome's role... He's good defender in the PBA and can score too... And he's tough too...Originally posted by one21guns View PostComment

Tuffin is good option but if you look at the capabilities Newsome brings, It's not Tuffin we are looking too.. I'm not too much familiar with college scene (maybe except for Quiambao, Phillips or QMB), so I don't know who are those players can play like newsome.. but Stockton for me is the nearest guy who can say can play same role as Newsome...Originally posted by one21guns View PostComment

You think so? Alec is obviously better in defense while Schonny is the more capable scorer. If Alec can improve leaps and bounds in orchestrating and ball security, why not? He averaged 3.4 assists and 2.4 turnovers last conference which is an awful 1.42 assist/turnover ratio. He is 6'2 and with high motor just like Newsome and Thompson so I understand that he is an interesting prospect for Gilas.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostComment

Stockton is much more similar to Scotty, good rebounder, good off ball movement. Not really the best imo when it comes to decision making as a PGComment

But Thompson's court generalship is way much better than Stockton's. Alec can still improve though in that area but it needs to be fast tracked if he is to contend for a Gilas gig.Originally posted by Joe Yabuki View PostComment

But does this team really need a pg?Would a Heading playing combo do worse or better with more perimeter firepower?Originally posted by one21guns View PostComment

with brownlee, no. but with a different non-playmaking NP they'll need a legit PG with playmaking abilities similar to alapag/castro/tenorioOriginally posted by ARMIR View PostComment

Guys, since Stockton is FIBA ineligible & there's no certainty of him getting a FIBA exemption anytime soon, I'll set my sights on another combo point guard in the PBA who is some years younger than current Gilas guards Iskati Thompson, Chris Newsome & CJ Perez - Schonny Winston. While Winston isn't your pass-first point guard (and neither is Thompson, Newsome or Perez), I think his playmaking is not far behind Iskati Thompson. Hindi nagkakalayo, ika nga. But I'm confident to say that Winston's playmaking skills are better than either Newsome or Perez. Let's face it, both Newsome & Perez are natural wings (2-guards or shooting guards). Winston on the other hand is a natural combo guard. I think Winston transitioning to point guard won't be that difficult.
That's why I strongly believe that Winston should be integrated to the Gilas program ASAP in anticipation of the inevitable retirement from the national team of the ageing Chris Newsome. Kailan pa natin e integrate si Winston sa Gilas? If naka retire na si Newsome? Why wait for that when Winston can start learning & assimilating coach Tim's system soon so that by the time Newsome finally retires from Gilas, gamay na ni Winston ang system ni coach Tim & he has already established bond & chemistry with his Gilas teammates?"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 IVComment

This is similar to the US practice of getting younger guys to be practice players for the main team.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

I think if Schonny Winston plays with Gilas for around 3 window qualifiers (that is 6 games), magagamay na nya yung triangle offense ni Tim Cone as well as the team's defensive scheme. Not only thru actual Gilas games & tune-up games that Schonny is going to assimilate himself with the system but would also thru team practices/scrimmages.Originally posted by Rds 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.
