that's a legit world competitive team... that other teams will take as a serious threat. (people know talent when they see it) -
Is prime Ray Parks now on the level of Tai Webster or Corey Webster? Parks being on Gilas means we can now have our go to guy, until we ease Ramos on that transition properlyOriginally posted by DAdmiral View PostComment

Well the only thing you can objectively go by to asses that, is if the player actually has demonstrated that level of play in either FIBA world level or in a major league ( Europe and NBL etc) , in the case of Webster bros that well documented ( Corey is a top 2 scorer in FiBA World cup vs top 15 teams), Tai is a main contributor in Tall blacks and of course in Europe ( major league - div 1 , he's avg over 15 etc). Nebaska div 1 , 14 pts avg etc . NBL - 17 pts avgOriginally posted by DenzelGreat8 View Post
If Parks can have those figures at that level ( Gilas - world , Europe , G- league ) then by all means , he should be at that level, you can't translate and assume avg 22 pts in the PBA will translate. but if we can see that his B-league team is world level ( meaning 2 Open imports over 6' 8 ) and his team is good , and Parks avg 20 pts a game , they yeah.. that's sufficient and i think one can say it translatesLast edited by DAdmiral; 08-26-2021, 03:17 AM.Comment

Bobby Ray Parks Interview with Noli
The interview starts at 54:50. For the specific part about his Gilas commitment, fast forward to 1:30:40.
All that is left for Ray to play for us is to coordinate with SBP and Tab. He was already part of the first pool for the first window.*

No disrespect to Dwight but I don’t think he’s an Alpha. No, it’s not about his skills or capabilities, but his mentality. There’s something about the likes of Alapag, Romeo, Paul Lee etc that’s wired to be take charge guys that just isn’t present on Dwight. He’s a perfect glue guy, though and might be what we need more, esp if come 2023 we have guys like Clarkson, Parks or Perez on board.Originally posted by DenzelGreat8 View PostNever look too far ahead.

Agree. Even coach Tab pointed that out a few months ago when he was talking about Gilas players with leadership qualities. Coach Tab said like Dwight Ramos isn't outspoken & seems a silent type of a person.Originally posted by NOiNU View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

It really strikes me as bit of an irony that Parks has a reputation of being someone who is not easy to get along with, yet if you see him play, he looks like he is the kind of teammate a player likes to have. I mean, despite of Parks offensive skills, he is not the heavy-ball or volume shooter type of a player. In fact, Parks plays more like a facilitator or a playmaker with some semblance with a Matthew Wright.
Usually kasi yung players that usually don't get a long with their teammates are the ball hogs, heavy-ball or volume shooters. I used to play basketball when I was younger & sa lahat ng ayaw kong teammate e yung buwaya.

Having guys like Parks, Dwight, Wright and Tuffin in Gilas uniform will make us versatile. These dudes are like swiss knife.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostAttack

Agree. Wright seems couldn't take the physicality of the FIBA game. He seems soft & easily gets bothered by the size & lenght of the opposition.Originally posted by live_evil View Post
On the other hand, I think Parks can handle the physicality of the FIBA game. One thing about Parks is that since his entry into the PBA, his 3-pt shooting has improved significantly."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.
