The way I see it about 2 years ago, Edu is the more skilled player than Kouame. But I think kouame has made significant improvement in his game in the last 2 years, specially ever since he joined the Gilas program some months ago. Edu on the other hand have been idle for almost 2 years now becoz of the ACL injury he sustained while playing for Batang Gilas.

      now assuming he becomes a respectable 4/5 big. then yes u can use him either as a center or PF, but as you wil notice when Kai and Kouame are avaialble there is zero minutes left at center. and if AJ turns out into a decent talent , it would be waste if he cannot get any PT . so it forces you to use him at the 4 spot ( and hopefully he develops a decent 4 game by then to be valuable

      Basically it is smarter for AJ to try to get playing time in lieu of Baltazar, rather than try to competed vs Kai and Ange for minutes
      Kai Sotto and AJ Edu for the 5 position then 6’6” Ron Harper jr.(naturalized slot) for the wing position alongside Dwight Ramos.

      (Kouame is equal to AJ Edu plus may Ron Harper Jr. pa)

Baltazar and Tamayo could play the 3 due to the presence of Kouame, Go, Chiu, and later Kai. Another is, utilizing that environment. May big foreign center ka na, backup pa rin ang 6'6"-6'8" big mo. So much for 'height is might.' We can only apply it to the 5, not the 4.

          Unless Magsmall Ball/Minion Ball. Which I am not really much of a fan of.

          NCAA did it backwards when they banned imports.

          Uaap atleast have imports and some Big Filams. The reason Quiambao can/will play the 3 with DLSU is because they are loaded with Bigs Bigger than Quiambao

          Personnel Matters also.

          I can underatand if your local player is as tall (maybe 6'10 above, but not generational like Kai) as your Import.

          But if your tallest local player is 6-5-6'8 with Mobility, he should play WITH the Big import.
          Here's my thought about the import issue, especially in the collegiate and HS ranks.

          Look, I believe that our bigs are the key ingredients for us to stand a chance against the Asian powers. However, most of our bigs need to be able play as forwards (kahit PF man lang), like Baltazar and Tamayo are doing right now (and both have even shown the ability to play the 3-spot), because our tallest bigs are 6'6"-6'8".

          An equitable solution is needed. I think there should be a system that allows for our import, but allows our local 6'6"-6'8" bigs to grow mainly from the PF position. Siguro, let the imports play (get 1 or 2), but give a minutes restriction ala CBA. Plus, if you have a talented squad especially offensively, you only need a foreigner that will help in garbage work (defense and rebounds). Try to lessen the dependence on imports for scoring.

          Well, at least other collegiate leagues still use imports. I only hope that coaches will play their 6'6"-6'8" bigs as PFs, para mas may future sa PBA, and even internationally. Height is might, well, might as well apply it to the PF position as well.

              If only we are living in a perfect world or perhaps a near perfect world. Philippine basketball however is very very far from the "near perfect world" that we are imagining. Pero sana makalapit-lapit naman tayo doon ng kunti.

                Problem with Phi basketball is that the stakeholders are not on the same page. Far from that. Kung si Tab Baldwin & his Gilas program are on page 90, yung PBA nasa page 47 pa lang while the NCAA is on page 39.

                Yung problema pa eh, PBA & NCAA aren't willing to catch-up.

                I think the only institutions that are some sort of being on the same page with coach Tab & the Gilas program are Ateneo, UP & perhaps FEU.

                  Hoop highlights' thoughts on Balti's transition to wing so far. One interesting point is that local training programs box tall kids in a position. As a result the skills that they learn are limited. Their potential is stunted.
                  Yeah, exactly. The skills our tall kids learn are just limited to those of the center position. I think they should learn the PF also, as it gives them more freedom and makes them move around more, and extend to the perimeter.

                  I think our tallest kids (6'6"-6'8") who ideally fit Gilas either can play both forward positions in the best-case scenario (ala Seigle), or are tweeners (ala Tamayo and Baltazar) or can play the PF spot at the very least.

                  Here's to hoping that the highlighted kids are able to play PF:

                  Hopefully, 6'6"-6'8" kids here in the Philippines that are at least able to play PF will be the general rule in Philippine basketball.

                    Outside shooting should be a must on offense. In defense, switching PnR defense. They should be able to scramble on the perimeter.

                      Yeah, I think we can see that now. Even in the NBA, modern bigs (or more accurately, small-ball 5s) can be eaten alive by big post players who can score consistently inside. We saw that with the Clippers-Suns series. DeAndre Ayton was crucial in eating up the small Clippers frontline with his rebounds and alley-oops. Good thing that in our case, we have Kai and Kouame to man the post for years to come.

                      Still, as I have said time and again, I believe that most of our bigs have to be trained to man the PF position, not just the 5.

                      • post play is definitely not dead. kobe was making the most of his late stage career with his post plays. the reason why a lot of traditional big men are not getting minutes in the NBA is because most of them cannot defend guards on switches. if kai can be quick/smart enough to guard the perimeter on the defensive end while relying mostly on post plays on the offensive end he can have a long nba career

                          I think the modern day post play is different from the post play during the 80's & 90's era. Yung 80's & 90's post play was more of a main designed play in which the big man posting up is usually in an isolation play & the post player takes his time to maneuver inside. Modern post play is usually a quick seal made by the big man in which he seals deep inside, then as he gets the ball, he'll make quick maneuver to the basket or go for a turnaround fadeaway shot or a semi-hook shot. I think modern day post play is more like a "nakaw" play.

                          • I think in Asian basketball level, the post play would still be very relevant in the years to come. If an asian team has a Hadadi, or a Wang Zhizhi, or a Mengke Bateer, or a Seo Jang Hoon, pweding gawing palabigasan ang post play specially if it can find a mismatch.
