        Okay if we look on his ball background, he only played in syria in 2023..
        To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
        1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

          Because he has Syrian origin… Just like Newsome, Slaughter, Lassiter that is also same half breeds like him… FIBA give them quick pass because like Bahamas, they are developing country in basketball… SBP can apply now the status of Philips bros and Kai Ballungay, since reside here for 3 years or more… but we all know SBP and PBA will not do that because it means they will be eligible to play in the B league as Asian import… PBA doesn’t want to lose more players overseas…

            Did Iran play a bad game or Qatar just played a good game? Iran was impressive in last year's Asian Games. Despite a depleted line up in last year's Asian Games, Iran almost beat Gilas.

            Qatar I think is improving since its a team with so many young players. It has a No. of teenage players & the other players are just in the early & mid-20's.

This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

            • Taiwan just played a high-intensity game against the Kiwis. Gilas can not afford to be over-confident. With our thin front line, a few foul trouble situations can drastically affect the game.

                Qatar is the host for 2027 WC.. they need to be competitive if they want to have a slot as host… their rankings is not enough yet, that is the reason Qatar doing all they can do to be competitive..

                • Iran is in the "back-to-the-drawing-board" situation with their golden generation completely gone (Haddadi, Bahrami, Sahakian, Afagh, Kamrani).

                  I believe that we can add Iran now in the list of teams that we can beat.
                  Attack
                  defend
                  Unite

                    That's the downside of having a long-term solid core team (of mostly vets) without a B team being developed in parallel.

                    Our batch of players in the 20 yrs old and below (plus Kai, Edu, Tamayo and KQ) have a lot of promising players, and looks to have a much higher upside than the current team. I would dare say they can possibly be our golden generation. We shouldn't wait until 2027 before we start developing that team.

                      Still don’t underestimate them… they still competitive even they are rebuilding… record shows in their last 3 games of Iran w/o Haddadi and Bahrami vs Gilas… Iran won twice there… we lost to them both games in Asian WC qualifiers last 2018 (81-73) and (70-78) while we just won a point only last Asian games (82-81) with 2 naturalized players on the floor… this is also the Iranian team that has Korean numbers… remember we are always worried to Korea while Iran easily beats this team, If Korea will choose opponent, they will pick Iran as their last opponent, because they can’t solve Iranian size, while Korea will choose Gilas in their priority opponent because they have answer whatever we bring to them… Their size is still a problem for us… last Asian games, we have problems against them in size especially in wing positions… their wings are not just tall and fast, but also skilled and buff… If not for Brownlee’s shot, we choke to them in that match…

                      • Good to see some FIBA matches in Baghdad and Damascus... Both games are almost sold out, Contrary to the reports, especially by Western media that those cities are not suitable to visit... Don't be surprise in the future that FIBA will also hold games in Pyongyang...

                        • After first 2 days of competitions, The favorites of these qualifiers expectedly won their respective matches... Australia, China, Japan, NZL, Gilas, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan get their expected opening win game... While Saudi, Bahrain, Kazakhstan and Thailand get their first win too... Only Indonesia lost their opening match being a high ranked team.... Korea will recover in next matches, As they will face easy opponent Thailand and Indonesia next window...

                            Yeah. I still count the post-Hamed Haddadi-Samad Bahrami Iran team as a formidable one. I think Iran has promising young players led by 18-year old 6-foot-7 wingman Mohammed Amini & 6-foot-9 forward Parsa Fallah (currently playing in the US NCAA Div. 1 school(these two kids have tons of potential). The current Iran rebuilding team has some promising wingman & fours in its disposal. Its really the center spot left void by the legendary Hamed Haddadi which is now Iran's waterloo. I was actually impressed by Iran's showing in last year's Asian Games as the team still played decently despite not having some key players like Amini, Bechnam Yakchali, Mohammed Jamshidi during the tournament. In fact we were lucky to have survived Iran in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Games. Muntikan na tayo sa Iran.

                              When we blew that big lead against Iran, we had two NP's in Ange and JB. Shows our tendency to relax and also Iran's strength, even without Haddadi. They're still a threat.

                              • I expect coach Tim would give special attention on Taiwan's 6-foot-3 wingman Liu Cheng going into tomorrow's game vs. Chinese Taipei. Cheng is definitely the best player of the current Taiwan national team playing in the 1st window. I think Newsome, Dwight Ramos & Oftana will be alternated to neutralized Liu Cheng's offense.
