    Will should be considered. Oftana IMO has been under achieving in Fiba and Malonzo’s health is still a question mark.

      Oftana's defended pretty decently since the OQT. It's his shooting that's been erratic.

      Malonzo, yeah, he has to get healthy and show something consistently as a 3-and-D player in FIBA.

      Agree that Will should be considered, even as a reserve.

        For as long as Oftana plays decent enough defense, I'm fine with it even if he has struggled with his 3-pt shooting playing for Gilas so far. I'm confident, his shots will fall in his next Gilas games. The key here is Oftana not losing his confidence in shooting.

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

          Navarro for Malonzo.

          The former has more arsenal and isn't as injury prone.

            I think there is still a good chance AJ is playing this coming window. Malonzo is coming back as well.

              Asia Cup is also in August (6 months away from the last window).

              If CTC is really open-minded about expanding the pool (https://www.philstar.com/sports/2024...ded-gilas-pool), then the most logical time to do that is before the Asia Cup which requires a longer prep.

              Chemistry is pretty much already there with possible additions like QMB, Heading, Baltazar, etc.

              • I think Ange Kouame should play in the MPBL for the sake of his FIBA clearance if the PBA still wont allow him to play there. And if SGA again bankrolls another team like they did with Manila last season then I think they could afford to pay Kouame.

                  The guy will turn 37 this year.
                  If we're going with Bennie, we need at least one of Kai and AJ as much as possible in the long run. Maybe a gameplan for key games without both of them.

                      • That is why the level of competition in the MPBL is very low.

                        • Mr. Long Bomb just played an official PSL game. Other pro players in that league looks obviously insulted by the stunt and proceeded to play him ultra-physical.

                          It's like you're serious with your job and then a clown gets hired.

                            If AJ's there, we can lean on our defense. Hope Malonzo can defend by then too.

                            Until Kai comes back, I think we need to lean on JB and our defense.

                              and this is why i doubt Ange will get any love from FIBA. Import = foreigner. as per Philippine law, Ange is a Filipino.
                              i think Parks, Domingo, and a couple more played in MPBL at 1 point or another. arent they the league with, if you are filfor, you cant be more than 6'5 or something like that?

                                Curious if Coach Tim will start AJ and Junmar together. Malonzo is key as well, as you mentioned. Especially defensively, since Brownlee will be asked to extend himself offensively without Kai.
