KQ with 17 pts as he led his team Goyang Sono to a victory over Seoul Samsung Thunders. Not really a good 3-pt shooting game for KQ but still he was much of a factor in this game.

He is regressing significantly. I think MPBL’s competition is far superior than to any Indian domestic leagues…Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostSo dalph panopio is playing in India

That game had at least 3 D1 players (including Panopio). Dibiamaka and Chafee both played for both US D1 and NBL (Australia) and I also noticed former DLSU Taane Samuel (6'7 Kiwi national player).Originally posted by FilWelsh View Post
The local talent depth most likely is very shallow, but the "hugots" definitely aren't bad.
It's a U25 league (only formed 2021) and they even sent a team to compete in the New Zealand league. It's clear that development and long-term approach is the goal. It will be interesting how this league, and it's effect on India's quality transpires.
India has money and height. The country's lack of sports interest/culture is a big hindrance though.Comment

I agree that Indians have both Height and Athleticism, They would easily compete with the top Asian Teams. As you said. the culture is not there yet.Originally posted by Metta View PostComment

A possibility I see is them going a bit similar to the Azkals route. Football in the Philippines is abysmal and the team is primarily Filfors and developed elsewhere.Originally posted by zairex View Post
At any given time, there are always a few Indians doing alright in D1. Right now, Stanford's Agarwal (6'6 sg) has been having buzz.
They could form a team of Indian Azkals without contributions from the home country. Ranadive (Indian owner of Sacramento Kings) can contribute a lot in terms of connections and money.
In terms of genetics (height/athleticism), a portion of their population is indistinguishable from neighbor Iran, and they have a ton of hafus.Comment

This India NBL is levels above the MPBL, maybe on par with IBL Indonesia. The problem is that for such a massive country, they only have 6 teams. Watching that game of Panopio, it's clear that he's easily the best guard of that league. It's not that his game has regressed, it's just that he's capable of playing at higher levels but is in a situation where he gets paid and gets to pad his stats playing against the same dudes every week.Comment

Yeah, after several years of riding D1 benches, he probably wants to go eat for a bit and get unli minutes and shots. He gets to have his mojo back and get paid at the same time.Originally posted by paolylo View PostComment

After this tournament, he should take a shot at BLeague 2 and do a better job than JGDL. If he cant make BLeague1, he should just go to the PBA and be a starter for SMC or MVP teams.Originally posted by Metta View PostComment

I feel KBL teams are not interested on him anymore after his Suwon KT stint though. Most of the reports about him there are negatives, another addition is the injury he had leading to him being waived.Originally posted by Metta View Post
I still think that one and done chance he had in UAAP would have given him more opportunities and exposure, basically the QMB route.
QMB would be playing in BLeague already if he is somehow deemed eligible as local already.Comment

That's right, I totally forgot about his Suwon stint.Originally posted by lem0nadi View PostComment

Lee Woo Seok is murdering KQ now. The guy looks like a more natural three than KQ at this level and he's either KQ's man (which KQ can't keep up chasing off screens) or KQ switches to the big on the corner. KQ has got 5 pts 6 rebs 6 assists midway through the 3rd.Comment

KQ looks like he's done for the day with 4 minutes to go in the 4th and Goyang down 29. 10/6/6 on way too many forced threes, mostly because this Goyang team really stinks. Lee Woo Seok and Lee Dae Heon were like a two-headed monster. One guy forcing KQ to chase him around screens, the other guy putting veteran bully ball moves inside... what's funny is that they're both 6'6.Comment

Tamayo's seems limping when he went to his team's bench after getting blocked in a fastbreak late in the 3rd quarter."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.
