Send a younger team, maybe a U25 with a few slightly older players like Dwight, Will Navarro, maybe Ken Tuffin and Bolick. I might have a pool.
Guards: RJ (24 going 25), SJ (25), Bahay (19), Competente (19), Dwight (25 going 26), Bolick (28 going 29), Moore (20)
Wings: Lopez (21), Harris (19), Belmonte (21), Navarro (27), Tuffin (27), Nacua (19 going 20)
Tweeners: Tamayo (23), M. Amos (20), Konov (18 going 19), Pablo (20)
Bigs: Kai (22), AJ (23), Kouame (26 going 27, NP), Gagate (20), Demisana (20)
The PBA has too many older players who might not make as big a difference in this context, save for maybe June Mar. Might as well send the young guys for a learning experience. If Terrence is still dynamic, he should be included for upgrade in the guard spot, just have him supported by a competent defense.
Imagine starting this long-term development plan next year. Playing against world-level (not just asia) at a young age. Then fast forward 5-10 years of continuing this. That team will be cohesive and battle-tested AF.

Interesting when you consider NZ chances, without Adams NZ has beaten every team in last 4 years in Pot 2 to Pot 5 . what it hasn't done recently is beaten a team in Pot 1 , ( Spain , Slovenia , Lithuania , Greece (but was close with Greece in 2019 and 2023) , so while an upset , if Adams plays NZ at least has a chance to upset and qualify

I think Dwight Ramos could replace one of Oftana, Newsome, and CJ. Dwight's still an integral part of Gilas, as shown in the WC.

Ramos for Newsome… oftana is a vital in wing spot… Perez is a good back up pg… but we need longer preparation for this…."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.
