2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament

Don't tell me CTC doesnt like a shooter like heading. Every coach would love him..

If CTC likes him then why he’s not on the pool? If you follow his core from the past until now, He’s not type of a coach that just select spot up shooters only.. He wants 2 way players.. That’s why Pessumal is always at the bench because he can’t play D… Heading is not a very good defender… too small in his position…the only known shooter that CTC handles in his coaching career are Roel Gomez, John Arigo and Larry Fonancier only… all those 3 are 2 way players..

Tim Cone getting Pogoy. Hmmmm, onset of Alzheimers? haha

Sayang talaga si Pogoy. For his game, I wish he was 6'6. Instead Cone got a guy claiming to be 6'2 but looks more 6'0. Not sure how he helps Gilas even as a practice player, he doesn't resemble anything like Arturs Zagars... the guy is just 6'3 but can man-handle bigs with his intensity. A shorter Luka Doncic that's way more mobile as a natural FIBA guard should be.

If Cone wants two-way players, why are there only reliable 5 two-way players (as of now, barring future developments) in the pool? Just Scottie, Newsome, Dwight, JB, and AJ. I see Oftana, Carl, and Quiambao as system defenders at best. June Mar and Mason are flat out defensive liabilities at this stage. I just saw CJ Perez get cooked repeatedly by Chris Newsome and Chris Banchero. Kai is not there yet, he needs to work on his timing and rotations, and he needs more than just Scottie, Newsome, and Dwight to help him out in PnR defense.

Tapos to replace JB as the NP, we're eyeing Bennie Boatwright, who's not exactly a top-notch defender despite being a good shooter, but sir lurklurk did say that he can defend in schemes (I just don't know if this pool has the personnel to help him out on defense).

Have you seen his game here in nbl 1? Even from dubai?

I get it why PBA/SBP not getting players overseas, But I noticed that they not getting players outside MVP/SMC players… Is there any conflict between PBA/SBP and independent teams?

Cost cutting measures, they already spent so mucb money getting kai, dwight and the rest of the japan/korea boys. SMC and MPIC players are already paid anyway

Oftana, Quiambao and Tamayo should improve their defense… I know they can defend, but they have to go all of their effort on defense… Sometimes tinatamad eh… I want to see Oftana play more D, the way he did vs China last Asian games.. I think why Oftana not effortlessly play defense in TNT because he is also their number 1 scorer.. it’s hard to play both ends especially if you are main guy on offense.. now in Gilas, Oftana is not the go to guy, so he can now more focus on defense first.. Same with Quiambao since he is go to guy in DLSU, so he has to preserve his energy since La Salle needs him offensively… now with Gilas, he has now to think more defense since like Oftana, he is not their go to guy either… So if those three want to be part of 2027 roster, they have to focus more on defense…

That’s why we might already saw Clarkson’s last games as Gilas uniform… unless JC will play for Gilas atleast for lower price… I hope before JC retires, I want to see him play again for us… he has some unfinished business yet..

Offensively, He's great.. No question about it... But defensively? If Heading atleast 6'5 then for sure CTC will tap him 100%... Like we argue always with Pogoy, Heading is also 6'2 max, His position is SG, Atleast Pogoy is better defender than Heading...

Typical SBP , lols

to be fair SGA is willing to release Abando and Heading for Gilas

"Pogoy is a better defender than Heading."

Did I read that correctly?
