Teka, other posters in other threads said that Pablo could switch onto guards, and I believed them. So, how is Pablo slow? Is he slow, period, or is the seniors' game too quick for him?

Originally posted by gospursgo View PostWatched them as Greenies even then they didn't have the quickness to keep up with wings and guards defensively so they should exclusively guard bigs. Offensively tho, pablo can drive it in, while gagate is more of your prototypical big in the post.

It’s just unfortunate that Pablo had little playing time in a loaded UP frontline. He has to play behind the ultra athletic Lopez and veteran Torcullas. Sometimes Pablo gets pushed behind the long and versatile Mark Belmonte, who is also older than Pablo. If Lopez doesn’t turn pro, another year of suffering for Pablo. He is lucky because the guys ahead and himself can slide to 3 and that frees up playing time for him.
More than Pablo, I think Gagate will be even buried deeper. Next year he has to play behind the new, taller and athletic FSA. Then he has to fight against the older Gani Stevens. And there’s Sean Alter as well. Mas mabuburo si Gagate compared to Pablo.

But as usual, knee-jerk casuals will expect a barely 19 year old rookie to be a completely developed and consistent player. Newsflash for them: we have 20 year old players in 11th grade.
The exciting thing about him and Tamayo is the mental part. It seems they get better when the moment is pressure packed. Those players are special.

i haven't watched the juniors, only the the fiba u18 asian qualifiers. both pablo & gagate were very mobile and able to switch on defense in those games.

That's why I think the cut-off for seniors should now be age instead of college year. I think anyone over 19 should be included in the seniors team. Juniors should be limited to those 19 and under, but players within that age group can be promoted to seniors early.
Local ecosystem is partly to blame, always prefers the "hinog" players at all levels even if there is limited upside.

That's what a lot of casuals do not understand. Always neglecting the age factor. They see a guy in his mid-twenties outplay a teenager and immediately makes conclusions. No concept of development/potential and looking at the wrong aspects of a player.
