Dont tell me that Philippine colleges and universisties ean alot thru online betting sites with their gazillion of pre season tournaments

In general, it is a very common practice, but few people talk about it, for example, you can raise money at sports competitions, as well as from online casinos https://topcasinosreviews.in/online-...te-real-money/, and if you do everything right, you can get good amounts. So it's a matter of preference, but it's not reasonable to deny the fact that it's impossible to make a lot of money from betting, because if the same college has a lot of money due to a large number of pre-season tournaments.

good win by FEU atleast they played without Gonzales, Alforque, Bautista and Tempra. Good thing is they can a afford to play a bigger backcourt for some stretches, Sleat and Cholo doing PG role plus his shooting improving in the recent games. 6'4" wing baby tam Luke Felipe is usual to his shooting, Pasaol playing like a veteran. Renzo Competente is arriving this month i think. I think they have a shot atleast the last 4 spot in the UAAP F4. former ateneo/csb assistant coach gabby severino is now with FEU coaching group.

Is coach gabby with feu now? Still saw him in today's csb v lpu game in filoil.

gabe was never a scorer even in college where they made it to the final 4. he scored less than 5 ppg despite playing more than 20 minutes per game

Looking at RealGM, Gabe shoots at 26% and a little bet lower than his PBA stats in 3pts. But he is a low volume not even 1 attempt a game shooter so he will not be consider a reliable shooter in FIBA or PBA.

i just remember him having a penchant for hitting clutch jumpers in FIBA lol

For a guy who was tall, skilled, athletic and had a good shooting motion I could never figure why Gabe didnt try to score more. Its as if he hates scoring. I would say he was the MVP of those competitive ROS teams. He was the leagues best defender for years. He passed, dribbled up the ball and could shoot if he wanted to.

It looked to me like he was consciously limiting his game and was content to be a defender facilitator. This is funny because the other ROS scorers were low FG shooters except maybe for Paul Lee. He was so good he would play a lot of minutes despite barely scoring. I dont think there has been another PBA guard/forward like that.

in fairness to Gabe, i recall him being a much better shooter whenever he donned the Gilas jersey. Then of course his shooting would regress back once in the PBA. lol

Mike P can be a Rodman type of player because of his motor, length and athleticism.

He will be lethal in the pba setting because he can be a Rodman type of player in that league and be effective.

In the Gilas setting though, he would need to have shooting. Shooting is easier to work on (as long as the form is not broken) compared to trying to learn advanced ball-handling when someone is already old. If he develops a consistent shot, he can be our Rodman-lite but with a jumper. Rodman is known for rebounding and defense but was also a really good passer.

Agree with U that shooting is easier to improve than ball handling when a player isn't that young anymore. We've seen PBA players getting significant improvement on their shooting when they were already in their mid to late 20's. The same could not be said about dribbling or ball handling.

I'm confident, with proper trainning & focus, Mike Philipps can develop a respectable medium range jumper & have a decent offense even in FIBA level game.

I look at Mike Philipps as a big man version of a Gabe Norwood. As we saw Norwood in Gilas, he was there as a defensive wing specialist. But his offense had always been a question mark, he didn't have a decent 3-pt. shooting for a wing & he was just too passive in offense (he was not even among the best fastbreak finishers of Gilas). But becoz of Norwood's exceptional defensive skills, he had been very serviceable for Gilas. The thing is, Philippine basketball didn't have anyone who can replicate Norwood's role as a good size wing defender during the late 2000's to the late 2010's era, which made Norwood's value to the national team even greater. I say, Norwood was more valuable than a Jeff Chan, a Japeth Aguilar or even a Junmar Fajardo during the 2013 to 2019 period.

The same might be the case of Mike Philipps. Offense wise, Philipps may never come close to the likes of a Carl Tamayo, Justin Baltazar, Jamie Malonzo or a Mason Amos, but becoz of Philipps' exceptional defensive skills & rebounding prowess, he may be as valuable or even more valuable than any of these players mentioned as far as Gilas is concerned.
