Future Big Men Of Philippine Basketball

I doubt he will reach his projected height of 6-7 to 6-8. If he's 6-5 with shoes & 17 years of age right now, then he must be barely 6-4 w/o shoes. I would be satisfied if he ends up as a legit 6-foot-6. Hope he can be a 6-foot-6 Mark Pingris with some decent 18-foot jump shot.

i agree maybe he'll grow up to 6'6 max, i hope he does a LiAngelo Ball physical change minus the injuries. LiAngelo may not be an NBA prospect but he could be a very decent player outside the US. Imagine a 6'5 and a half shooting guard/small forward and a very quick shooter although I think like Liangelo he needs to trim down.

This pic of enzo schatzel from mpbl? He cant be more than 6'5 by 21. He is around 18 by now. It is not this guy then?

No. It is not schatzel.

The note said that 6-8 years from now. We will have a 7'0-7'4 TEENAGER player. So he is maybe only 9 or 10 yrs old by now

OT Question: We all know Kai patterned his game after olajuwon, duncan and porzingis. If you are Kobe Demisana, who would you pattern your game after?

Jayson Tatum or Kyle Kuzma.

Mahirap pero wish ko lang. lol

I think guys like Torculas and Lopez would be interested in this kind of workout.Those guys love dunk videos and I think that would be a pretty good start.Like what I've said before they need not only to jump higher but to be more explosive as well, run faster and jump faster than most people.I think it's not too late to introduce them to athletics training (high jump,long jump, sprint).

I think a bit more achievable is be like a better version of Aleksandr Zhigulin of Kazakhstan, that 6'9 guy who hit i think 6 threes against Gilas, I think he's pretty agile for a power forward and better than most our local forwards or Danilo Gallinari, a 6'10 guy that could do basically almost everything, create his own shot, dribble the ball, run the floor, block shots, score in the post,pass the ball, cut to the basket, shoot threes etc.

Pascal had to go thru g league and became and MVP there. we wont complain if Kai had to go through that process. I think the Spurs is also a good fit for Kai since LMA and Rudy Gay are aging already and parang di nag iimprove si poetl.

Spurs always put their draftees in G league first.

Zain Mahmood said to be 15 year old and 6'6 player from Canada...MPBL facebook page says he is projected to grow up to 6'10-6'11 (i think if he is already 6'8-6'9 now, maybe)

Sir enzo fojo already in talks with him

Sir enzo fojo already in talks with him

Have anyone in SBP contacted this man?

[TheRodster21]

Great podcast overall but some parts I thought were interesting

38:25 talk about basketball players wanting to jump higher and how important the weight room can be to improve them as athletes since basketball players generally don’t lift

43:20 Ben Simons(Olympic bobsleder) talks about one of his teammates (3rd fastest Briton ever)and they discuss genetic potential

Does anyone know, or have vids to show, how ethan kirkness is doing in his up training? He looked strong several months ago, though not primed for passing plays.

He can develop good handles though, as this requires just a ball-control friend and long personal time for complex dribbling and dribbling attack practices. With his size and physical strength, good ball control can easily net him 10 points on simple sariling sikap fast attacks.

He can also compensate for bad team awareness, or bad pass-first reflexes, by having the coach ensure that he passes to known player positions, eg knowing where a nearby paras will launch vicious drives, or a 3point shooter is guaranteed to be located.

He, like all the other young bigs, should be encouraged to post his daily training videos in this forum. There are lots of guys here who can help them check out their areas of self-help improvement.

There may be no dramatic skills improvement. But added superior athleticism and ball control abilities can at least turn him into a useful fajardo. This guy has very limited international competitiveness but has 6 pba mvps just for having knowledge on how to abuse midget centers.

For sure potential 1st overall pick in the PBA in 2025-26.. SMC and MVP teams will try their move to get Ethan.. big man is rare commodity in the PBA nowadays..

If Ethan will play in Pba. Hehe.

He could go overseas too.

Right now, he is training in Australia.

I like the explanation given for each lift

Another Carl Tamayo?
