Diem for practicing games and just shoulder insurance just on case tbeir injured?
I think they get a reasonable compensation and insurance. I am thinking of a way to increase the pool a bit but still managing expectations. We are getting a free pass with developing Fiba level playmakers because of Brownlee. Without him our lack of a shot creator will be exposed.
Why is no one questioning the inclusion of Amos in this lineup? Is the quality of our local amateur players too low for a player of that caliber to be chosen?

Should have picked Lebron Lopez instead,kid has better potential and it seems he will fit the system.

He earned that spot with that U18 stint showing. That's the point of the youth team anyway, getting promoted to the seniors when you were impressive in the youth.
Tim envisions amos as his Roel Gomez. I honestly think that Amos isnt worthy of the slot. He is too small as pf and too slow as pf. I would prefer Konov as our designated shooter.

If and when Newsome retires, someone has to take over the mantle as primary perimeter stopper. Whether it's someone currently in the roster or it's a new guy, someone has to do the role. Newsome's role is a big part of why the team is winning. He's not there for scoring or playmaking, he's there to patrol the perimeter and hound top-scoring guards.
If no one can assume the role, then it would have to be a different type of defender who can make the team defend better as a whole like a Will Navarro or maybe Tuffin. Schonny is one guy who can probably approximate the role if he is willing to go all out on D (their offense is similarly midrange heavy).
A guy like Heading can be included, but not as replacement for Newsome but for someone like CJ.

There is no way that the present nt can survive aus. The designated shooters were busts, and against what, 123rd something ranked hongkong?
Oftana and amos have to be removed. They are asean level for sure, but not much against asia's best. Malonzo cant shoot, but at least he can stop volume shooters like sourpuss corey webster. At this point, i agree that heading and lopez would be far more effective AND reliable as volume scorers with decent defense. Tamayo can do some feisty sf offense and defense, but he is no brownlee or clarkson. Ramos is also more of a defense-oriented non-scoring guard. Abando is a better replacement for cj; it just happens that cj reliably plays well with newsome and thompson around. Baltazar should be good enough against anything other than aus. Baltazar and tamayo are our best sfs, and our nt can survive without the aging brownlee with both of them.
Against aus, or nz at its home court, a jalen green or clarkson is a must at sg/sf. Why is kouame still not exempted as a local? He meets all np exemption requirements of fiba. With kai, abai, kouame, qmb and edu occasionally onboard, aus bigs can be neutralized with relative ease.
now that we've already assured a seat in FIBA Asia Cup 2025
it is wiser now to expand the pool a little bit and let those core unit composed of Kai, AJ, JMF, Jamie, JB, Scoty and Dwight should skip that 3rd and final window
they are glassy and we can't afford to hear nor read news that those dudes are ain't available on Aug. 5 to 17, 2025 because they are aching here and there
seriously, our FIBA level pool of talents are still shallow and thin compared to defending champ AUS whom I think can win it all even parading their usual Team C
same thing with the Tall Blacks as per Sir Dave's pronouncement, despite missing some quality guys bec. of club commitments in Europe they are still a big headache
on all aspiring Asian teams including us.
with the recent pronouncement of newly appointed Program Director and Team Manager for Senior and Boys team Grandpa Chualay
wherein he mentioned that they are contemplating to add 2 or 3 warm bodies to the existing pool
it's no brainer that the likes of QMB, Heading, Schonny and Balti can improve our shallow pool
with Japeth, AK34, Carl, KQ, CJ, Calvin plus those 4 I mentioned it's all fair game against those(rematch) NZL and CTE teams.
