Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[ja.he]

PBA All-Stars: Perez, June Mar, Romeo, Japeth, Pringle/CStand, Scottie, LA, Pogoy, Troy/Erram, Kiefer, Lee, Abueva

Can the guys overseas beat this lineup?

Using FIBA rules and with Kouame, the Pinoy imports can beat PBA players. the versatility of Pinoy imports will surely come into play, especially at the wings and bigman positions.

The 11 players abroad can form a pretty good national team pool.

Edit: 10, sorry I miscounted.

The more Pinoy FIBA eligible players playing in overseas leagues, the better for Philippine basketball. No need to elaborate, everybody here understands where I'm coming from.

I hope next year at least 5 more Pinoy players would decide to play in overseas leagues.

My starting 5 - Kai, Baltazar, Dwight, Parks, and Belangel.

Yes, even if you infuse the PBA team with ineligibles, as long as they're coached by a PBA coach, I think our guys from the foreign leagues can outdo the PBA guys if they're handled by either tab or nenad.

If including non-SMC/MVP teams, I might replace LA with Bolick and Lee or Abueva with Wright.

Coach Tab/Nenad/Goldwin

I noticed that the coaching pool for the Filipino imports is mostly defensive. Tab and Nenad are known for their defense, and Goldwin has a mix of defensive coverages too, especially pressing and PnR blitzes?

How would Lee, Perez, Scottie, and Terrence react to a blitz defense with Ange, Balti, Navarro, and maybe Cariño being the trapper?

the main issue with PBA guards when they play under FIBA rule is that they are turnover prone as they tend to dribble too much and pass at the last second. while they look good on court, they can become an easy target because of their predictability. so you have a pba guard with an all-star attitude because he's used to buzz by the inferior defense of players with short wingspans, and then you put him in a situation where international-sized players who are just as quick can suddenly harass/double team him, of course the outcome won't be good, imo.

Also note that aside from Coach Chito, both Tim Cone and Chot are not known defensive coaches. Tim Cone will even let the three-point arc wide open.

Just asking why its ok if Miami Heat does this strategy of letting teams hit 3pt than attack the basket. And still be called defensive team and Spo as defensive coach.

actually, i don't consider it as a wise move, especially if you are against a good three-point shooting team like the Golden State Warriors.

do this against Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, Gilas is lucky if they lose by 20 points.

[DAdmiral]

@Peezones, just a reminder if u still will deposit money as you mentioned if Kai remains in draft past the withdrawal deadline. Just PM me and will give u bank details..
I think that was with Kaiju...

I think Boston does this also with GS. Leaving Green, Wiggins or Payton open or wont close out hard as they are players with lower tham 30% 3pt shooting. Ithink this can be done as not all players of Korea or ANZ are 35% 3pt shooters

It is good that you post this message. I am also confused about how to go about it. That Kaiju hasn't been found for several weeks. I will still push through with it. You could take the bet if you want instead of Kaiju. I know your group knows that troll from Adelaide. You could PM your bank credentials and please clarify if you will be the one to take the bet. I don't want to deal with that troll. Also, I would prefer a PH bank account.

From the write up of Miguel Flores of NBA Philippines - "June 13 is the pivotal date for Kai. It’s the deadline for players to pull out of the NBA Draft and explore other options."

I don't know how reliable is Mr. Flores as a writer in NBA Philippines as per D Admiral told us Kai doesn't need to withdraw since he is automatically eligible.

even Tab did not let everyone from South Korea to shoot 3's because even Ricardo Ratliffe can hit one or two.

You would be naive to think Kai's agent Bell wasn't aware of the rules, and of course he knew Kai didn't declare officially via the early entry process .

C'mon let's say it as it is "straight talk ". Bell was blatantly lieing. Portraying a narrative that Kai decided to declare entry given interest from team's and followed by suggesting he has decided to not withdraw but stay in the draft, cause of the interest.
Contrary to the real situation which is there absolutely was no decision required to be made , Kai was automatically entered and could not withdraw..
This was one of the most blatant make belief stories made and the thing is the media and public actually believed it.
