Without an outside shot, Thirdy is below than Newsome. I am still afraid of Newsome's dribbling skills as he turns the ball over if pressured. But with a similar build and defensive capabilities, Newsome is a much better player now than Thirdy to handle the 1 or 2 spot for the team.Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostComment

Gilas has firmly established itself as a solid 2nd in FIBA Asia, surpassing Japan and New Zealand. While Japan may have individual standouts like Watanabe and Rui, their only positional edge is likely at the SF spot. Guards like Yuki exploit defenders who lack commitment on defense but would struggle against a disciplined backcourt duo like Skati and NewNew.
New Zealand would need capable and defensive minded bigs. Kai’s dominance over bigs like Wetzell and Loe is well-documented, with the NZ Breakers often serving as Kai’s favorite opponents for breakout performances. Sam Menenga, while promising, lacks the size and experience to contain Kai effectively. The only NZ defender against Kai was Tyler Harrison—unless they summon "Aquaman" from the ocean depths to help out.lol
Tofu is slow and small against Kai. Flavell will opt to play small against Gilas instead of playing two bigs like last time.
Flavell did his best and he should have a way better judgement on things than analyze comments.haha
Gilas would be a different animal once Aj will be playing. Eventually, Kai will be paired with bigs that are way better defender than JMF(QMB, ANJ,AJ).

Jordan is doing things much worse than Japan. How could you let Palestine drain your 31 point lead in the 4th quarter?Attack

Newsome’s handles and 3 pt shooting are not ideal but from what I remember are still much better than Thirdys. He is also a better defender IMO. Newsome is actually our best guard/ small wing defender.Originally posted by zairex View PostComment

Two things in the Qatar-Iran game:Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View Post
First, Iran is no longer the same strong team as during the Haddadi-Bahrami era.
Second, Qatar has sugnificantly improved mainly becoz of the presence of 2 world imports.
Current Iran team is on rebuilding stage so we can't expect much from it as of now. But it has a No. of promising young players so in 2 to 3 years we can expect the team to significantly improve. But I don't think Iran will be among the top 5 teams in Asia-Oceania in 2 to 3 years time.
For Qatar, I think the team looks good with 2 world imports in tow, but I don't think Qatar will make it to the top 8 teams in Asia-Oceania in the next 4 years."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

They don't necessarily have the advantage. While 85% of Qatar are migrant workers, it's way more impossible to be a citizen there and integrate unless they need you for your talent and grant you citizenship. They are not like the US, Australia, NZ, etc where you can migrate and integrate.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
And from what I have heard, Qatar's naturalization is conditional and they can strip you off citizenship when they don't need you anymore
If Qatar is really that open, they would have tapped into the Filipino diaspora over there.Comment

I disagree. A local should be described through residential and social factors to a place. Putting emphasis on "ethnic roots" is like saying only Ibalois should be considered the "locals" in Baguio. Nevermind the Ilocanos, Cantonese, Tagalogs who have been in the city for 3 generations.Originally posted by empyreanmaze View Post
Who do we also consider as "local ManileComment
