    Bay area has myles powell and nicholson who are both former NBA players in comparison to McLaughlin and Clark..

    TNT are mixed between old veterans and young guns.. Oftana is 29, Aurin is 27, BGR is 29, Galinato is 28, Razon is 25... Young by PBA standards...

    Yes. That’s true. Unfortunately with the size and skill of the FSAs and Filfors these homegrowns so far can’t compete. Gagate is still with UP but got injured I think. However, they usually employ mobile SF types as PFs. Gagate despite his height has never been a rim protector so I’m not sure if he’ll be effective as a C.

    Pablo is an example of an HS guy who couldve benefited from FSA competition in senior high. The guy still hasnt developed a perimeter shot.

    Of the 3, Demisana had the best potential as rim protector coming from HS. I heard he had oral surgery or something. Is it possible there was a complication? The last time I saw him he looked slow and uncoordinated. Far from what he showed in HS and in batang Gilas.

    So so far it doesnt look good for their batch of homegrowns.

    Edit: Raven was mobile when he was young. After injuries he doesnt seem to have any outstanding feature other than his height and wingspan. Looks slow and doesnt look skilled.

    Navarro but is more of an SF. The other good young bigs are ineligible. We dont produce enough 6’7 and up guys. I dont think there is a promising a UAAP one. KQ is apparently just 6’4 without shoes only good for SF. I dont think there has been a PF Gilas candidate from college since Tamayo. Well there’s Amos a rare eligible Filfor.

    Unfortunately, Lucero isn't FIBA eligible at least for now.

    Zave Lucero is slowly becoming Magnolia's best local player as a lot of Magnolia's key players are now ageing. Ian Sangalang is now 33, Paul Lee is around 35, Calvin Abueva is 36, & Mark Barroca is already 38. The respective games of these players are on a downhill while that of Lucero are expected to further improve.

    Who are the young eligible pba bigs playing well?

    Baltazar and Arana?

    Carino?
    Arana is not FIBA material, Balti needs to get some reps in Gilas would not expect some major contribution from him at the moment, Carino needs to play in an actual team to get reps, QMB if he applies for the PBA is probably in the conversation, Mike Philipps in the near future.

    Meralco didn't have one of its import in that game. I think it was a 17 pt loss to Ryuku
    San Miguel also did not have two imports in their 2 games ago. Also, it was better benching their two first import
    Meralco have Kwame and 2 imports yet they can dominate

    At least yung Meralco alam mo may determination to win & is really playing for pride, most of its loses were close games. SMB on the other hand, puro talo na nga, most of its loses were tambak.
