I hope I am wrong on this.. that ros getting another center is a vote of no confidence for ange to be the main 5 of this team..as yeng wouldve have get a tall 3 or 4 to pair up with him

If Ange gets injured, they will not have a player tall enough to be a rim protector. Hence the additional of Evans

Yeah, most probably, Ange and Evans will take turns at the center spot.

The EASL champs Anyang team didnt ahve a shot blocker as big, while go for a exclusive five if you can go on have a versatile 4 and fully optimize angge

The Joens Cup will be Evans tryout as ROS import this coming season, though Yeng has apprehensions of him passing the height limit

Should the Illinois native perform well enough, the champion mentor said that the team may consider him for the 2023 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

“Hopefully itong import na ‘to, kung maayos lalaruin, baka siya na rin ‘yung gamitin namin for the next conference in October,” he told the weekly Forum presented by San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, MILO, Philippine Olympic Committee, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

“Pero, of course, subject to his performance siguro dito sa Jones Cup, and ‘di rin namin alam kung papasa siya sa height limit kasi listed ‘to na 6’10, 6’9″ lang ‘yung limit ng next conference natin for PBA imports.”

That height limit rule. Lols

Thats why the height limit of 6'10 is not an issue for me as most EASL participants imports are below it. Tnt and SMB have taller imports than other teams. Weird right

Spellman is still 6'9 and atheltic. In our region its good as a rim protector. Compare that to Beau Belga.

I think at this point it is just SMCs greed. It used to be 6’10 IRC. Josh Smith was slightly above 6’9 IRC. But with GSM sticking with Brownlee, a bigger import height limit lowers their chances.

ginebra won it even against 6'10 so where is the it lowers their chances? and brownlee won 2 commissioners cup as the shortest import so your analogy is moot, and like what i said ginebra should use a taller import this conference to build cohesion for easl tournament as there's an established chemistry with brownlee already

The import height limit is 6’9. So ROS Nick guy may not qualify. It baffles the mind why PBA is setting a lower height limit. Was the height limit 6’10 when they won? I dont think they could win against the good 6’10 and under imports, Josh Smith, McCullough, that other NBA guy. To me GSM winning against 6’10 imports with 6’6 JB says the imports could have been better.

Ginebra won in 2018 against SMB with Ronaldo Balkman and a peak Junmar, last year against Bay Area Dragons that has andrew Nicholson and a slew of big men and tall guards and wings, both of those championships the height limit is 6'10

Let talk about good teams with tall imports. Balkman I think is 6’6 without shoes. Imports like Josh Smith, Terence Jones, McCullough. Even a less skilled 6’10 import will give GSM some problems. Why even lessen it to 6’9? Bay Area is an exception and Nicholson is 6’8 but with long arms.

Won’t a 6’10 import help teams compete with BAD?

that was against Ginebra with slowter , with CS and good help defenders like Japeth, Malonzo and Brownlee to some extent even against teams with 6'10 imports they can still handle them, haven't you forget that it was CS who defended Jones well when he was with smb, plus ginebra beat a good and tall team like BAD with a 6'5 import then why single them out being favored by PBA for lowering the height limit by one inch, Ginebra fielding Brownlee in an import laden conference that has a limit of 6'9 or 6'10 has always been on a disadvantage winning 2/4 commisioners cup with Brownlee being the smallest import is not a bad feat, plus TNT will also field a shorter import this conference

Speaking of TNT, Quincy Miller will be RHJ's partner in the EASL
