    + drop passes and feeds from scottie or JB.

    Really more of an enforcer who can finish a set up play or grab loose balls for a putback.

    Guess which system utilizes that the most: the triangle

      It makes perfect sense to argue that Troy knows the system because it will make life easier for the coaching staff. Learning the triangle offense is very important for this team as it allows them to execute better, utilize the nuances of the offense better and implement more advanced concepts.

      Cons of introducing a Triangle Offense beginner:
      - Team will go back to rudimentary level of the offense, most likely won't work against a team like New Zealand
      - Team will not be able to utilize the window to implement advanced concepts they can use in the world stage
      - Coaching staff needs to allocate time and resources to get the new guy up to speed in terms of knowledge of the system, habits and reads

      Career is now downhill -- wrong, career is in resurgence as a defensive stopper with the Ginebra ballclub
      Undersized -- as a 4/5 yes, but as a 4/3, 6'6 - 6'7 is perfectly appropriate
      Disappointment in FIBA before -- different offense, but moot point because it doesnt matter. Junmar has been a disappointment in FIBA before. So has Kai, Scottie and Japeth at one point.
      Wrong: Heading was given a call up. Resurgence? How is the performance of Ginebra this conference? Is he the major factor for the victories of Ginebra? A few good games doesn't mean resurgence. It is still going downhill. Junemar was a disappointment because he was not trusted by Chot. Troy was given trust before and failed by Chot and Tab. He can't play 3, doesn't have the mobility and shotmaking of Bahrami. He is an undersized four. Again, the best time to integrate new players is when there is less pressure to win. We are already qualified for the Asia cup.

      • AFAIK, Heading was heavily considered by Coach TC from the start. He was supposedly going to replace Scottie at the OQT. He just turned it down because of personal matters (wedding?).

        • In case FIBA finally declares QMB as eligible to play for Gilas as a local player, I think QMB's addition to the Gilas program would really be significant as he would really improve our pool big men in the team which is an area that have been shallow for Gilas all these years.

          Imagine a pool of Kai, Junmar Fajardo, AJ Edu & QMB as our pool of big men standing at least 6-foot-9. Never in the history of Phi basketball did we have that many 6-foot-9 or taller bigs who are legit national team materials & who can make some impact in Asian basketball.
          "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

            The question is can he do it against Fiba competition?

                That’s what we’re about to find out.

                ​Plus Ange if he gets local exemption.

                  I won't be surprised if Slaughter and Almazan get calls in the future.
                  Almazan turns 36 in August and I don't think he has a good track record with Gilas. How will his recall help the team?

                    Added size.

                    It’s not like we are Lithuania or Latvia where 6’8+ dudes are aplenty.

                    Don’t forget Edu is injury prone, Junmar is 35, Japs is 38, QMB/Ange are not cleared, and Cone is too stubborn to add Baltazar.

                      I think the best solution for us right now with our size issues is a naturalized player, same as sir Rds. That is if QMB, Ange, and Mike aren't cleared by FIBA.

                      Now, as for added size, there's another big in Kemark Carino, who turns 27 next month. Offensive liability, though, and I saw him commit fouls when blown by. If we have no guarantee on performance in FIBA, I'd rather bet on the younger guy. At least the younger guy has more room to improve.

Instead, there's really politics behind the non-inclusion of players like Heading, & Balti. We all know that Heading & Balti are playing for Delta which doesn't have a good relationship with SMC.
                        There's politics involved? That is so shockingly surprising!

                        Seriously, are you guys even working already? Name one organization in the Philippines immune to politics. It happens even with MMDA street sweepers. The bigger and higher profile something is, the more politics there will be. It's a fact of life.

                        Even if an individual like CTC doesn't want it, it's something one learns to navigate through. That's why when we say we trust him to know more than us, it means he knows more than us, and that includes navigating through the bull manure that goes with the job. At the end of the day, after all the things one has to deal with, what are his results.

                          Thank U for the sarcasm bro.
                          We all know that politics is everywhere in the Philippines & that there are only few aspects in our everyday lives where politics isn't present. But I think there are few times naman in which politics wasn't present or a factor in the selection of our national team players. I think there wasn't any politics in the selection of players in our Centennial team in 1998 which was coached by no less than Tim Cone himself. Yung mejo controversial lang doon was the non-inclussion of Nelson Asaytono who at that time was easily among the top 5 best players in the PBA. But as coach Tim Cone reasoned out, as great & highly skilled a player Asaytono was, he wasn't a team player. He was just too individualistic a player which won't cut it making it to a team that puts emphasis on teamwork & team play.

                                You just reinforced the point. You have to go back more than a quarter of a century ago. A bygone era without the 2 PBA empires, not a lot of Filfors, no overseas league renegades, etc. And even if you take away all the brouhaha, that era just had a few players in serious contention for international play so not a lot of deserving guys left out. And still there was an Asaytono issue.

                                And bingo...CTC was already an NT coach then. And guys still think they know more than him.
