FIBA ASIA Cup Qualifiers

[IPC]

Are Guam citizens covered by the Asian heritage imports in B league? Jericho does not play for the Philippines in Fiba so he cannot use his PH citizenship for B league.

But as we know Jericho Cruz is also eligible for Gilas as a local too… so he’s qualified… as long as you are local player by FIBA then he’s still qualified as Asian import there…We know Cruz is playing for Guam, but he has Filipino passport and true blooded Pinoy…

The B.League requirement is that you have to have actually played for the NT as a local. I don't think Japan has an Asian Quota req for countries other than China, Philippines, or SoKor.

I will like to add..

Indonesia have advantage vs Thailand due to good quality system, they continue what Toroman system planted… that is why they already breaking mid tier Asian team barrier for ASEAN teams in basketball, while Thailand didn’t yet, they not yet won against higher rank teams such as Syria, Kazakhstan and KSA, those teams already beat by Indonesia… meanwhile Guam already played New Zealand back in 2020… they have a competitive game there before NZL pull over their strength in the 4th… Guam already played top tier team in NZL as you said that they haven’t yet…

I said an Asian team, not a team from Oceania. I did not put the word "Asian" in all caps for nothing.

But NZL is part of Asian basketball, right? Because technically they playing in Asia even thou originally from Oceania… And NZL is slightly better than Yuta/Rui less Japan, So basically Guam already know playing teams who are better than them… Guam might be competitive in first 3 quarters before they will run out of gas in the 4th… Let’s see… They have the height advantage, the question is they can take that advantage over Japan?

Jericho Cruz is originally here in the Philippines… he could be playing for Gilas as local if we don’t have other options after him.. technically he can play in B league as Asian import… the league has no rules that disallowing Players who played for other countries outside those countries you mentioned, especially if he’s technically eligible in his original country as a local player… And Cruz is still a Filipino, playing in the PBA as local player and a passport holder too… the only time that he will be disallowed if he change his nationality already…

But I am not talking about a team from Oceania, but from Asia. How is it hard for you to comprehend that?

Sometimes, the urge of someone to engage in a debate will make him more $+*p!d.

but B-league is looking on fiba eligibility so cruz is ineligible to play for B-league..

Or maybe CTC and SBP invite him but Ateneo disallowed him to join…

Cruz is originally Filipino FIBA local eligible, he’s eligible to play for Philippines as local in FIBA sanctioned tournaments… he was born in Pasig… he just only playing for Guam technically because no other options and besides he’s more Filipino than being a Guamanian…

Agree. This is common sense actually. There is a reason why Roosevelt Adams had to prove his FIBA eligibity and there is also a reason why CS to B.League did not materialize.

There is a rule about having played for a different NT IRC. I dont think he is eligible for Gilas unless I guess we request for an exemption. If he gets an exemption he qualifies for B league. But that is moot because we have too many guards to request for him. The PBA doesnt matter. We have a lot of ineligibles who played college here and in the PBA.

nah..

Bro… NZL and Australia are already part of Asian basketball since 2017… papalusot kalang because first in hand you think Guam didn’t faced any stronger teams yet… But they already played NZL back in 2020… minsan pwede tayo mag sorry if we have mistakes… I have mistakes too and I admit it… there is no issue there, NZL and Australia (and even Guam) are now part of FIBA Asia family… we knew they are not technically Asians but that is the rules handled by FIBA when they merge Oceania and Asian competition to upgrade the level of Asian basketball…

The requirement for a Fil-foreigner (homegrown or foreign-based) is to have played for Gilas as a local. The rule is actually playing for the national team, not ability to play for said NT, and not playing for your home country's league. Roosevelt Adams, Greg, and Wright could go to Japan because they've played for Gilas as a local.

Guys like Schonny Winston and Ken Tuffin can't play in the B.League because they haven't played for Gilas yet, even if they are FIBA-eligible.
