I gave up on JC’s status as it would be a long shot he will get an exemption. So far those who succeeded most of them at least spent time in domestic leagues.
Between Barefield and Munzon? Josh has better chance as he played domestic leagues 5x5 and 3x3. One and done foreign-born collegiate players who has Philippine passports have higher likelihood than those players similar to Stephen Holt and Mikey Williams who just after they exhausted their prime years in top leagues abroad and then strutting their remaining playing years to milk Philippine local leagues…
the only significant contribution both for JC and Stephen as far as Gilas Basketball are concern is to parade them for the coming 2026 AG or hopefully depending on their physical condition 2030 edition as well.
I think having those 2 hafus in the line-up we could somehow provide some fighting chance to defend our AG thrones if ever host JAP will parade their own A-Team plus Hachi and Yuta.
claiming medals of any colors on both SEAG and AG brings proud to the country and feels great watching the winning moments and at the same time monitoring the Medal Tally every now and then brings some elements of excitement and thrill during the course of the Games.
with the possible entry of Oceania teams like AUS and NZL to participate in some events like basketball wherein the OCA already approve their participation a few years ago.
in fact they could parade some delegates in Hangzhou AG but due to some political issues with CHI they decided to skip that edition.
who knows maybe they could send some delegates on 2026 considering those Oceania teams are political allies as far as the Indo-Pacific storyline alongside PHI, US, JAP, IND, SK among others.
as for JM's possible exemption moving forward, having played in a domestic and international tourney representing PHI such as ABL, PBA D-League, Chooks 3x3 and now in the PBA as a "LOCAL"
that's a good and substantial merit for him.
besides there's a provision in the FIBA guidebook that stated:
Chapter 1: Eligibility, National Status Availability of Players
Players With Two or More Nationalities
17. Any Player who has played (i.e appeared on the final team delegation roster) in a main official competition of FIBA (including a FIBA 3x3 competition) for a national team for which the player is eligible is considered as having chosen the national team of that country.
I stand to be corrected.
as far as I know JM obtained his PH docs when he is 22 yrs. old or barely 23 yrs. old
and as per FIBA, there's a 23 yr. old policy to those players who wants to change allegiance or NF but on the case of JM he hasn't played in any sanctioned tourney in any U16 or U18 team
as for 28 yr. old Sedric, at least he is now playing in a domestic league fully recognize by FIBA as a "LOCAL"
so let's start from that..just trust the process and just continue accumulating all the necessary merits and see what will happen after LA 2028.

I haven't seen much of David.
I've been a Balti fan ever since Tab converted him to a SF/PF hybrid. While his defense is good he still needs to work on his offense. We actually need him in Gilas just for his defense alone because we don't have many guys his height or taller who are good defenders. However, the possible entrance of QMB changes things. If QMB is eligible, then maybe more shooting is needed at the PF slot. Guys like Tamayo and Mason might be preferred over Balti, since QMB is a decent rim protector.

I think Heading should be a shoo-in. He's taller, a better dribbler and shooter than Skati. He's a better shooter than Newsome and CJ. He's a better defender than Bollick.
How does Heading compare with Newsome & CJ Perez? I think in terms of 3-pt shooting, Heading is better than Newsome & Perez. But in terms of slashing & finishing the break, I think Perez & Newsome have the edge. In terms of defense, I believe Newsome is better than Heading, while it would just be even between Heading & Perez in this aspect. In terms of play making, I think Heading has a significant edge over Perez but just a slight edge over Newsome.
"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 IV

Jordan Heading is indeed headed to the A-team without the doubt hoping no major injuries for the coming months in preparation for 2025 FIBA-Asia
as for Justine Baltazar, the talent is there and he already shows he can compete at the world level but we all know he hasn't settled nor adjusted yet to the PBA life.
just like Joshua Munzon, once he calm his thing, we will see what stuff he is really made of.
I doubt if he will ended up like Rommel Adducul, Sam Eman or worse Enrico Villanueva and Rich Alvarez who until there retirement to the game hasn't improve that much
" lahat sila mga bano pa rin sa free throw line and always a liable in offense and defense, madalas lagi pang nasa foul trouble". trans. lack of work ethics.
the likes of Christian David, Kai Balunggay, Keith Datu, Zav Lucero among others should play first in a non-sanctioned tourney like SEAG and hopefully AG
CTC and all SBP stakeholders are talking about nowadays about " adapting to the system".
that's the key.

But Strong Group Athletics' goal is purely winning championships in international competitions like Jones Cup & Dubai Invitational Basketball Championships that is why they load up their team with a good number of good quality imports. I don't know if Strong Group would be willing to bankroll a team whose main goal is player development while winning a championship would just be a secondary goal.
There are unconfirmed reports that SGA is firming up its preparation for Dubai Internationals this coming February 2025 by securing services of Dwight Howard. The are still finalising their negotiation with another superstar DRose. Expected to come back for them are Rhenz Abando and Jason Brickman. They are also talking with Meralco about getting Kouame on loan. Enticing C.Hermoso to come out from retirement for a final hurrah. Also sending queries to Bennie Boatwright, Kamaka Hepa and Remy Macaspac if they are available.

Agree. Offensively, Jordan Heading is better than Iskati Thompson as the former isn't just a mere 3-pt shooter but a natural scorer who can slash & finish the break as well. But I think defensively, Iskati is better & the better rebounder as well. I think in play making skills, they are just about even.

Super OT:
Congrats to the Philippine Men's National Football Team for advancing to the Semis of the 2024 AFC Mitsubishi Electric Cup ( ASEAN Championships) .
The team was undefeated but also winless in the group stages as they drew all their matches. They needed to win vs Indonesia at Jakarta , and win they did, 1-0.
They will face powerhouseThailand in the semis.
Congrats to us.

I believe this is pretty much accurate. Jordan is doing well so far. Let's how he will fare later against Thompson and Ahanmisi. Too bad Holt is injured as I was looking forward with his matchup against Heading.
