    Needs more time to mature/improve them. Hope UP gives them more opportunities as well. They can follow Kentucky and Calipari's blueprint for recruiting & developing prospects for pro leagues

      The day that happens (and also when they accept FSAs and abolish Fil-foreign height limit policy) is also the day that MPBL becomes a genuine professional developmental league. Hard to tell how the comparison of competition levels between MPBL and UAAP now are, but the sure thing about it is that the top young ballers would be immersed in an environment where one would need on-ball skills and court smarts, more than just size and athletic prowess to dominate, and they play as many as 30 games in a year against seasoned vets. 2 seasons of MPBL immersion (at least 20 games/season) could do wonders and prep our young guys for FIBA, PBA, and other Asian league play, I think. There may be downsides such as bad habits that they might pick-up, or being played out of position, and what-have-you, but it's still better than not having much of PT in official collegiate games.

        If those highschool graduates play in the MPBL then matic they are ineligible to play in the UAAP right?
        Or do u need to be in the UAAP lineup first to be covered under that rule?

          True. Both are the same 6'7 and have good touch outside including the three. Amos though is a better passer and seems to have a higher BB IQ while Tamayo is stronger inside and plays with grit.

            It might get more complicated if the junior player prefers to play for a different senior team.

              If we gonna based it on his wiki page and Tamayo himself said he's already 6'8 and I believed his Bleague team also listed him as such.Tamayo given the green light starts his offense beyond the arc and he improved so much that he can actually just stop there and pop a 3,or do his barrell drive,pop a mid,pass or take it all the way.He's more unpredictable if he's allowed to freelance within the system.If Amos can have better handles and get a tad quicker,he can play a big 2 in short increments,I would like them 2 at the same time Carl at 3.

                        More like a 6-foot-5 small forward. Perhaps a poor man Danny Seigle offensively.

                          Amos is deadweight on defense though. He needs to really improve in this aspect. Offense wise, he is really good, especially his 3-pt shooting & he's not one-dimensional in offense. He's a natural scorer who can score inside, has a good mid-range game & of course, drain those 3's.

                          Amos needs to shed off some weight to get quicker, more mobile & improve his leap.

                          • Ateneo fans were all high and mighty after beating UP last Sunday, only to get their hearts broken by LJ freaking Gonzales just two days later. With the way Ateneo is playing right now, they might now even make it to the Final 4.

                              Yeah, I mean with a 4-4 record and with just 6 games left. Not sure what's impressive about Ateneo at this point.
