2025 Fiba u16 Asian Championship

[onggok]

Two years from now, Gilas will have Esomchi, Okebata, Gupilan,Teoc, Simple and Regala for our u16 team. I'm excited because these kids are good players and their height right now is between 6'0-6'5

I think the propose SBP Under tournament should come up with an ideal schedule to cater both domestic and possible overseas teams considering kids are involve here.

here in PHI specifically public or government funded schools, the school calendar are now 100 percent(?) back to it's old setup meaning March to May are vacation time

but majority of the school calendar outside PHI, summer break starts on 2nd week of June up to the last week(?) of Aug.

so in order to have that common ground, the stakeholders should come up with a better timeline to avoid possible conflict of schedule on both parties

besides we all know that the objective and the intention of that propose under tournament is to discover talents that they could tap for future U16 and U18 teams.

FEU U16 featuring Prince Carino will compete in Japan B. League’s U16 Tournament, taking place from January 30 to February 3, 2025, in Tokyo

The tournament will feature six teams, including three from Japan, two from Korea, and the lone Philippine representative, FEU. The competition format places the teams in two brackets, with the top two from each group advancing to the Final Four, culminating in a championship showdown.

Nope, new league coming up is different from NGBL. Not sure why but a player I talked to told me that the SBP cup is exclusive to born 2009 and up(U16), just not sure if there is another division for the the U18 Batang Gilas. Also this one is club base. NGBL I think is school based.

Good day Sir Wawa,

is it some sort of a Jr. PBA kind of format or a Jr. MPBL stuff?

or a combination of both?

I think SBP should merge those two alongside the yearly NBTC/Manila Live Games

indeed having the concept of those 3 entities would be a good avenue to those aspiring youngsters out there

who wants to be part of the Batang Gilas program.

Isn't that the purpose of the NGBL in the first place? It is also LA and Long Hair that founded it.

An upcoming league by the SBP is coming next year that will be sort of a tryout/talent identification for local based players. LA and Alfrancis on the move.

It's also time to have more combo guards than just plain pg,make everyone an analytical player,shoot when you have the ball,don't hesitate.I wanna see more Dwight size combo or plain hot shooting SG,a 6'5 athletic SG will be a good matchup in FIBA.

A combo guard measuring 188-193cm (6'2"-6'4") would give us some options as to lineup versatility. We could have a two-PG lineup without sacrificing size.

As for 6'5"+ wings, hope defense and shooting will be the emphasis (basically 3&D) because I feel that those are the most important aspects for non-star wings in FIBA, defense more so.

Tim Cone was on record when he said the NT should be comprised of players tall enough to compete internationally. Which means, 6'5 and above for wings, and 6'9 for the bigs.

If the program director adheres to this plan, which in all indications, he would, he is expected to sync up both Seniors and Youth teams for easier transition.

That is why Tim Cone was keen in getting Baltazar, he has post up, outside shooting, can pass, and is a team player.

balti's most important skills during the tab era were his ability to defend the wing & make open 3s, i wonder if he can still do both consistently

On the wings, hope we can get tall wing defenders as well. I repeatedly say that the 3 is a key defensive position.

Imagine a 3 that is a bigger,taller,better version of Tamayo,well one can dream.

Actually, I like that they are installing a person under Tim Cone. LA understands the triangle alot. Since these youth players will, one day, take spots in the senior's team, might as well learn the system of the team as early as the youth program.

Hopefully, LA will identify taller players since triangle will not be that effective without a legit bigman and a tall wing scorer.
