Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostJordan Heading has been puncturing the hoops from 3-pt range for his team in Taiwan. I'm now convinced he's really a natural 3-pt shooter. Heading might end up as a better shooter than Matt Wright in Gilas uniform. Well, hopefully ganoon sana ang mangyayari. Wright has been a big disappointment for Gilas.
But judging it with his ABL and Gilas stint, I think he is really a good shooter, good but not great yet.
When I say great, I mean almost automatic, and consistent every game.(or most games)

Originally posted by ja.he View PostWell, compared to locals in ABL, especially the Malaysians, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Thais and Hong Kongers, locals (Taiwanese players) are way better than the first five I have mentioned.
The locals of SEA countries (with the exception of the Philippines of course) are still inferior to Taiwanese locals. If I'm not mistaken, Thailand's Jakrawan is registering measly stats in the T1 league. So I think the level of competition in the T1 league is good enough."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

Originally posted by mathematicianrcg View PostParks is hitting his prime already. Started in his last pba season where he should be in the mythical 5.
Rayray talents in no joke. As i said multiple times, before the existence of kai. It was Rayray who was the nearest homegrown Filipino to reach Nba.
Now, it. Is a question on how well Rayray will fit in Gilas System now.
Hope he'd like playing for Gilas this time, and he follows through by joining the team.

Originally posted by IPC View PostJakrawan. The same Jakrawan that schooled Go, Cariño, and Baltazar. Man. I hope the three learned from that and improve their post defense. Go and Baltazar are good team defenders already, and Baltazar can switch to the perimeter. Hope they don't get eaten alive by a post player. Post D is crucial when facing China and the MENA teams."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.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostSomehow I understand Jakrawan's not so impressive stats in the T1 league since he's playing behind world imports playing the big men positions. That's the problem if you're an Asian import big man playing in leagues like the B-league or T1, SBL or P-league becoz yung mga world imports na hina hire nila are usually big men. I assume Jakrawan's opportunity to score is limited as it is the world imports who are given the lion share of opportunities.

Originally posted by unitephbasketball View PostI’d love to see Torculas and Ice Hontiveros develop some more PG skills..
Hope that the Gilas coaching staff is thinking of inviting them to the senior team. Good news for Torculas is that he committed to UP, a school that doesn't mind lending players for Gilas.

Originally posted by thatweirdguy View PostThis. IMO the Japan vets of Kiefer, Thirdy, Dwight and Parks should be in the team. Those guys can contribute without needing to score and are perfect for Tab's system.

Originally posted by tomcat View PostMatt Wright was well-advertised here by one poster some years ago for the national team's need for shooter. He even downplayed Ray Parks Jr. and exaggerated Matt Wright. And after Matt's dismal performances for Gilas, he was scratching his head wondering what went wrong with his prediction and analysis..
But during his stint with the Gilas senior national team made up mostly of PBA players, he never came close to living up with my expectation."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.
