Because they don’t have lack of depth of the bench… Spain is very loaded in every position…

[Giannis34GOD]

Kai and Dwight in Euroleague will set the bar high for our young players. It's a much more sustainable career than the NBA. This is the importance of winning. Now European teams can see the skill and athletic superiority of Filipinos over their locals.

I’m not against B league or KBL but both are low level leagues compare to Europe… Having our players playing in Europe is like we have already borderline NBA players… many big name Europeans who are already settling continue playing in Europe rather than being a bench player in the NBA…

This has to be the olympics with the.most no of teams coming from the americas since they allowed pros to play..

Puerto Rico is back. Just solidifies how we should be emulating Latin teams.

Not with his brand of small ball with three guards (except if the 3 is Gabe), an undersized wing, and still keeping a two-big lineup (except if guys like Dwight are the 4). The basis of small ball for me is just 4 and 5. Having a natural PF at 4 and a center at 5 is not small ball, no matter how small your 1-2-3 is.

Just small in size, not a lot of positional versatility. Cone and Tab have that with Gilas.

Will we see Juan GDL eventually play for Cone wearing a Gilas uniform? He's the only Pinoy player with Euro experience albeit in a limited stint.

1GDL. Man... All he needs is opportunity. He's better than all the point guards we've ever had. You heard me right. Better than the Jason Castros, Jimmy Alapags and Terrence Romeos. Imagine him and Schonny manning the point. CJ and Newsome can mentor them on their way out.

Back to 1GDL, that guy is tough. A rare breed. He has that NBA aura that hasn't necessarily translated yet into his game in the pros but put him in Tim's system and you'll see the plethora of options we have with him at 1. I can see him bullying European guards and outsmarting Latino guards. And downright toying with Asian guards.

Him, Robert Bolick and Schonny are bonafide POINTS GUARD. They're Terrence Romeos in 6'1-6'3 frame. Once they're hot, they're hot. And no they're not limited to teardrops and jump stop threes. All of them can shoot off the dribble and drive at will. Let's move Dwight again to 2 and JC at 3, and have these 3 mentioned PGs run the offense.

Argentina needs to climb their way back.

Argentina needs to climb their way back.

It's Canada's time now.

3/4 of the host countries won the OQT. Only one faltered, and that was the team PHL beat, Latvia

[reamily]

Not to take away the fact the americas team Puerti Rico and Brazil beat some good euro teams in Italy, Lithuania and Latvia

[deku_midoriya]

Latvia was damaged goods after the PHI loss. They doubted themselves and their system. After they unconvincing win against Cameroon, I thought Brazil will take them out and they did.

[ja.he]

Argentina could take the place of Venezuela. The Venezuelans have been underwhelming since 2016. With Argentina, you could expect them to give a fight back against Europeans.

If we hosted the OQT do you think it's 4/4? Imagine the crowd and the emotions in MOA/Araneta if we made the Olympics. It will top JC's onslaught vs China, win vs Korea. Also sure statue of JB and Tim outside MOA/Araneta if that happened.
