  • A heartbreaking defeat by San Juan to Caloocan in the JR MPBL DLeague. Earl Sapasap missed two crucial FTs. I think Jahmir Eligado will be a serviceable 4 in college. He plays similarly and physically like that of Joshua Guiab (JRU) and Mav Vinuya (AU).

    Last weekend the Pasig Servants lost to the 6-man Zamboanga Sikat (coached by Britt Reroma). Although Pasig had avenged that loss last night, their team have Seven Gagate (UP), Adrian Sollano (SBU), George Diamante (Letran) and SJ Moore (CSB).

    • Mahmood is suit for NCAA anyway, a bulky undersized guy who plays as center at 6'7.

            Similar but better. He was not just utilize by Pido. A typical traditional center but has decent handle and shooting. He actually wants to play as 3, but he can't maximize his skill at that position.

              He’s too stiff and has poor laterals to be a 3. Not to mention his handles are not in the level of a 3. Does not have yet a reliable mid-range jumper. Best scenario for him is a 4. But currently his best natural post is the 5. Great instincts around the paint with that heft and muscle. Kinda Rommel Adducul and Justin Arana type big.

              • I dont think Zain is better than Gani.

                Gani wouldnt be getting mins or even be in the lineup of UP. Gani was the backup 5. He could be better as hes much younger but that remains to be seen. A lot up and dlsu players are held back by playing behind a stacked team

                • Allegedly, Zain has work ethic issues. Isn't it surprising that he didn't end up in UP/DLSU/ADMU if he really was all that?

                    I thought he is only 6'5.

                      Maybe he was offered more $/playing time at UST?

                        Gani in high school was all about football (hoops for cross-training). He's late into basketball and is just scratching the beginning of his hoops potential.

                        Mahmood was all basketball in high school and theoretically should have been more ready.

                          In a preseason exhibition tournament last year Zain was a disappointment when UST faced SBU (UST won). I was expecting more and he looked liked a project in that game.

                          Gani Stevens is fundamentally better. You can see from his footwork. And it explains his background from american football where you have to be disciplined in the line of scrimmage to never be flagged for either a false start, neutral zone infraction or offsides. (I’m assuming he was an offensive linemen or pass rusher).

                          But Gani’s older and has more games under his belt in the PH.

                            He played tight end and defensive end his senior year. He's mobile.

                            Fast hands and quick feet for a heavy guy. When he first arrived (18) he was already ready for the physical game.

                            Having long-arms and being a lefty is also an advantage. Lack of skills limits him to being a big, but upside is higher than most local bigs.
