    Our wing rotation is a bit thin. I just said it. Dwight, JB, Oftana, maybe Quiambao. Dwight and JB are the only reliable defenders at that spot, until I can see Oftana be competent in defense again (he was a competent defender in the August 2022 window; he's getting blown by in the PBA).

    As for AJ, he may be injured and recovering, but this replacement is specifically for Malonzo.

    Sir SK's right, Cone can be stubborn to a fault, like Chot. I'm speaking as a Ginebra fan who watched Ginebra games almost every time they're on.
    Tim definitely is stubborn but probably is being given a past because he's more popular than Chot and hasn't embarassed us yet.

    Well Japeth was getting KD comparisons back in college. Hasn't everyone seen that one picture where he has the same stance and posture?

      Speaking of AJ, he's said to be on schedule to be there for the OQT.

        KD was Japeth's idol back then, but no, i dont think anyone dared to compare Japeth to KD. There were Yi Jian Lian comps tho.

            Well, if this were 2009... Toroman actually played Japeth on the wing (with CJ Giles as the lone big) until Yeng, Chot, and even CTC fckd him up to be a running big. I rarely saw him take outside shots for Gilas since then. He wasn't needed on the wing with Gabe Norwood there. Even then, Toroman was hard on Japeth for biting on pump fakes a lot. Now he's much older, I already feel sorry for him 'coz he will get injured chasing quicker and more physical players.

              It was a joke as some posters back were hopeful he'd be our KD after seeing one picture where he displayed the exact same stance as KD in one of his younger pics. It was a different time lol. We thought the Phenom would be our best future player, Greg and JF our future twin towers etc

                ... which makes Kobe Paras our version of Rodney Stuckey? Lol. The Stuckey hype was real. It baffled me how that Pistons team had a rotation of Stuckey, Hamilton, T-Mac, Ben Gordon, and Will Bynum. I really thought Paras would do well enough in Japan to be useful for Gilas after Tab just had him play stretch four for lack of personnel. Either he became a victim of those stupid PBA eligibility rules or just doesn't wanna play anymore.

                  • OT: Mr. Suzara, where did you find that info that volleyball is the number 1 sport right now in the Philippines? PVL might beat PBA in terms of viewership but as a sport? It’s not easy to replace a sport that is already part of the culture for centuries…

                      This is 2 weeks before the OQT, which starts 12 midnight on July 4.​

                      I hope Newsome and June Mar can rest. We especially need Newsome's defense.

                          The team will first practice together on June 22, 12 days before the OQT. That's enough for that tournament. Hope 3 days of rest are enough for June Mar, CJ, and Newsome.

                              At least the content in Coach Tim's absketball mind from now on is Gilas and not Ginebra..
