UAAP season 87

[Tuck]

Back to basketball, I am legit surprised that Tounkara has been the best FSA this season. Momowei is still good but I think he was better last season. Also, suprised that Konateh has been a non-zero factor for FEU. Finally, funny how the two biggest teams has the worst FSAs in Udodo and Agunnane. I'd argue that ADU's Ojarike has even been better than these two clowns lmao

Prescious is slowly getting his groove back. He was getting into foul trouble a lot at the start. He seems like the only FSA / player who can play 40 mins which is really impressive.

Looks like UP's Reyland Torres' claims have a basis after all. Go to the 5:24 mark of the video and watch how Magoo Marjon discusses how Topex uses his spitting skills when he was still an active player

This video was posted 11 years ago and it actually includes prominent basketball personalities or commentators such as coach Charles Tiu, Doug Kramer, Mico Halili, etc. Charles Tiu even said, his Kuya (Chris) plays dirty but he's not gonna spit at someone. This video confirms that Topex was one of Yeng's "Hitters", during his Red Bull days in the 2000s. Apparently, Topex specialized in projectile hitting coming from his mouth. lol

Interesting to see on who Coach Chambers will field come season 88 as their FSA with Shelton undergoing residency

I will still take Momowei over Tounkara.

As for Agunanne, he is not being used properly by DLSU. He needs a JD Cagulangan type PG to feed him the ball. I daresay he will improve next year with Jacob Cortez there. His defense for me is fine (see UP game vs QMB).

Udodo is an unfortunate victim of QMB’s arrival. He was fine in the preseason, he just needs minutes to heat up.

How was Agunanne in CEU? Was he more of a post up back to the basket type player? It seems the quick pace of the UAAP game is not suited for him and more for the faster Momowei. Mismatched sya for what La Salle runs.

And you think you got my point with your first statement? Lol Quit being self righteous and lets go back to discussing uaap basketball here. If you wanna keep posting stuff about spitgate, just make a separate thread.

Oh, what you said is what I've come to expect from a UP fan, don't worry.

But since you need help, allow me to spell out what I said, it's insensitive to ask Lasalle community to just move on especially when, UP fans are still taking to social media to show how much class they have.

If he develops, he develops but I doubt DLSU is counting on him.

He needs to add some muscle. But what he has can't be taught: great size and good mobility. Plus, he can shoot so that's why the coaching staff took him.

From what I understand, the moment this kid popped up on their radar, DLSU snagged him. Mind you, there were several players that tried out from Tumakbo but none of them got a substantial offer

I'll have to disagree here. Henry has butter fingers (he's as bad as Bright) and when he does catch it down low, he's unable to finish consistently. Just watching the last game against UE, would show you that KQ missed out on 4 assists cos he couldn't catch it. He's gotten better but not anywhere near serviceable offensively.

When he was in CEU he was never a traditional low post player. He would catch dump offs and shoot the three and he could get away with just his tools and when the competition rose, he couldn't keep up the productivity. At least not yet.

Underrated part yesterday even as an dlsu alumnus . The refs were babying them . lol 50/50 calls always go their way.

Why are you even generalizing that im up fan. Im a benildean, we sing the same hymn with dlsu lol. Its not insentitive, its actually enacting what we believe in, to live jesus in our hearts. Not to prolong worthless arguments just to be right. And whatever those up fans say, the dlsu community dont need to go down to their level. And again let me ask you, if topex himself just wants to move on, you really want to continue to dragging on the issue? You're doing no one any favors.

I remember during the Padrigao issue that Tab was very supportive of him. Did he knew that Ateneo's fate was sealed when Padrigao left? Feels like this was supposed to be his era if he stayed.

I think what really hurt ateneo are the four that left early. Mason to DLSU, Kai Ballungay to the PBA, Gab Gomez and Jared Brown to IDK.

Comparing Philips, Precious and QMB . It seems like by a long shot Philips had the highest offensive ceiling among them but also the worst team defender right now.

He gambles a lot and is always out of position as a result. He gets cooked on the pick and roll for as much times as he gets a steal .Im sure the coaches want him to play more conservative but that energy can rear its head both ways. He just needs to mature because precious/qmb tries to check his man and the rim . Philips has a tendency to check the ball and get out of positon.

Agunnane sucks. DLSU was scammed by CEU.

First of all, there's no reason for us to verify which team you root for. Also, I said presumably a UP fan to which you never denied until now.

Again, paulit ulit tayo. Idk if you have a hard time grasping what I'm trying to say here: I said They (UP fans) shouldn't be the one telling the Lasallian community to move on given the gravity of the situation. If you still don't get that, I may not be equipped to help you.

Agunnane sucks. DLSU was scammed by CEU.

Raven Gonzales is more skilled but Henry was the one that played vs UP due to the matchup. Cant teach height and Henry is the better athlete.
