Pba draft 2024

[thatweirdguy]

Feels like he’s an undersized 2, his bball iq/ decision making is susceptible. But he’s a athletic freak

Not even the best PG on his team .. I'll take RJ, Jerom, Evan over him. Anyone else I'm missing?

[thatweirdguy]

Balti the perfect example of how dangerous Utang na Loob is.

When boss Delta says you're a bigman , you're a bigman

[zairex]

And in Converge he’ll probably play the traditional big man role along with Arana

He has a outside shot so he will be more of stretch 4 like their other bigs like Concepcion. Beside, who are PF that has no outside side in the PBA.

[Rds]

Is this legit? If so, I don't know anymore what is special about Balti for him to be the no.1 pick without putting the Converge-Pampanga ties. Kai Balunggay should be the No.1 pick if we are talking about skill, talent potential, and age. All this time I know that Balti is 6'9 lol.

In the biometrics record I saw it’s 6’6.75. Slightly taller than Ballungay. Slightly longer wingspan. But Ballungay has slightly higher standing reach. Ronan Santos actually has 0.5 longer wingspan than Balti. But if you watch MPBL Balti’s defensive presence is way above the others.

In Fiba he has shown to be a good secondary rim protector. None of our PFs have shown that, Carl or KQ. I have always thought he was slighlyy shorter than 6’7. But that doesnt change how good his rim protection has been. He is no Japeth. But for a 4 who has some outside shooting and some handles I dont think there is any better eligible 4 for Fiba. Excluding injury prone Edu.

I do feel Cansino is versatile enough to be a PG in the PBA, but I think he's gonna be the second coming of everyone's favorite undersized wing RR Pogoy. As for Nonoy, I really don't get why it's been proven time and time again that freak athletes under 6 feet don't last long or are nothing more than Joey Mente's at this level and still get drafted... at best Justin Melton where they get a good 4-year stretch after their rookie deal until they get injured and fade into those farm teams. If he can be a Bal David-type who stayed in the league long enough because he can shoot, maybe he doesn't end up like an Encho Serrano taking an MPBL deal. RJ and Jerom can shoot ergo they'll make it as pros... as for Evan? There's just way too many players like him already in the league so it'll depend on who takes him and their depth.

Case of height-padding or simply inaccurate guestimation. Now that it's official Balti is 6'6 1/2, it's safe to say he's 6'8 with shoes. Kai B. is 6'6 1/4 so should also be around 6'8 on sneakers.

In the NBA, Superstar perimeter players such as KG and KD dont want to be labelled as 7 footer or even close to be seven feet. because of the perception that 7 footers are boxed in to be just centers.

Case in point: We all know KD is taller than his preferred height of 6'9 , but look:

So basically Balti is an undersize Center? But imagine having KB as our SF for Gilas though. That exception from FIBA gonna be lit.

That’s the thing with exemptions. They are practically fantasy. The ones that got exempted only received it in their 30s. Being a PF who could shoot a bit from outside, dribble a bit and switch a bit in the perimeter is not a center. The guy is a 4. Has been decent in Fiba and is eligible. We can fantasize all we want about the ineligible Filfor bigs but that won’t change anything.

wasnt able to follow him in the MPBL, was he allowed to take outside shots?

AD is probably 6'9 to 6'10,

KD is similar to KG, listed at 6'11 but probably 7'1 to 7'2, both didn't want to be pigeonholed as Centers.

KD is trolling. He's not 6'9. Back in 2016 when he played for GSW, he indeed stated that NBA officially measured him and his official measurement is 6'10 3/4 or essentially seven feet in shoes.

From CSN Bay Area's transcript of Durant's interview on KNBR.
Speaking to Bob Fitzgerald on KNBR, Durant put fact over fiction when answering the age-old question of how tall he really is.

"Since I love you guys so much, I was recorded at 6'10" and three-quarters with no shoes, so with my shoes on I'm 7-feet," Durant finally revealed.

So, why has Durant been listed at 6-foot-9 for so long? "I just like messin' with people. They just ask me so much... yeah, I just like messin' with people."

Guiao just mentioned that theyre looking for potential talent, also says Balti, barefield and balunggay will be picks 1-3 guess those 3 are an open secret

I feel that if you're looking for a PG this is the draft. Heck even Dave can be converted to a PG. As for Nonoy I remember the debacle here when he wasn't included in our youth team. Damn a lot of people were so high on him before even comparing him to a young Castro because of his quickness. Kid still has a lot of untapped potential left. Hope he goes to a good team

Yea he was. But his 3 FG is not high and he is so dominant on the offensive boards that he doesnt shoot 3s a lot. Probably less than 2 a game. I think his 3pt arch is a bit flat. Something he needs to work on.

I was definitely pushing hard for him, plenty of potential, can shoot, super athletic. If he can honestly just work on his passing he could still be good, I just think La salle didn’t fit his style of play
