Just curious. No one is talking about Paolo Banchero. i think he should have Filipino blood with Chris being his uncle. right?

Baltazar looks like he's gonna play the 3 or small-ball 4 a lot. He's found a shooting touch against MENA teams.Originally posted by IPC View Post
Tamayo looks more like a big who combines the skills of a traditional big (pounding the ball inside, post game) and those of a perimeter player (handle, shooting). He just needs some room to grow. Among our current Gilas players, he has one of the highest upsides on the team. Hope he fulfills it and goes to some overseas league.Comment

Well, looks like the Heat are hellbent on keeping Bam at C so far. They kept Dedmon while getting Lowry and Tucker.Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

Damn my best case scenario for Baltazar is to develop into our Duncan Robinson, https://youtu.be/qLlwI0Mg29o
I hink he's better off transitioning into a fully perimeter oriented player since he seems weak and undersized when playing against international 4s and centers. I just hope he develops well enough to keep playing as a 3, the percentage isn't there yet, coming into 2023 hopefully he wont have anymore 2/10 shooting nights. He seems like he could be the perfect second option on offense.Comment

Baltazar's transition from a traditional big man into a small ball-4 is remarkable considering that he started the transition only this year. Makes me think how much better Baltazar would be right now playing as a small ball-4 if he started the transition 2 years ago. Baltazar is now 24 yrs old.Originally posted by IPC View Post
With that, I'm already thinking at how much improvement a 20-year old Carl Tamayo would gain in 2 to 3 yrs time being involved in the Gilas program at such as an early age.
That is why I'm thinking that it would be very very beneficial for Phi basketball that our young big men at the amateur ranks like Lantaya, Lepalam, Salvoro, Demisana, Perciano, Quiambao, etc., would be enlisted into the Gilas program as early as possible. Huwag na nilang hintayin umabot pa sila ng 24 or 25 yrs old before they join the Gilas program. Who knows some of these aforementioned young bigs would be another Justin Baltazar or Ranidel Deocampo being small ball-4's. Or maybe some would be small ball-5 like South Korean local center Kim Jongkyu.
Sadly, some of these promising young bigs are handled by groups or people who aren't friendly with SBP. For as long as involved pa rin sa basketball si Poblador, este si "Long Hair", meron talagang malaking bueset sa Philippine basketball."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

I don't know if the plan by Salvoro to play high school basketball for the Ateneo de Cebu/Sacred Heart School panned out. Well, I hope so. And I hope he ends up playing college basketball with Ateneo De Manila University. Huwag lang sya mapunta sa mga berde or sa Letran ni Long Hair. Heaven forbid.
Salvoro looks promising. Imagine a 6-foot-11 version of Kim Jongkyu or a 6-10 version of Justin Baltazar."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.

What's Salvoro's wingspan? seems like his arms are almost at knee level, looks like the perfect ape index for basketball freaks. This kid's potential would be far beyond local leagues if developed right.Comment

He really looks like he has ridiculous wingspan, which of course is a significant upside. And as early as when he was 15 yrs old, medyo maganda na dribbling skills nya na parang natural lang sa kanya. I'm always impress with good size or tall players who exhibit decent handles at a young age. Usually kasi pag ang big man ay may desenting dribbling at a young age, its almost certain na he would end up having decent ball handling for his entire basketball career.Originally posted by empyreanmaze View Post
BTW, for those in the know, how was Justin Baltazar when he was 17 or 18? Did he exhibit some promise at that time?"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.

A promising bigman at 18. He displayed his low post moves and perimeter shooting during a UAAP jr finals between NU and Adamson. But what intrigued me more was the 6'5 15yo Carl Tamayo who stood his ground against Baltazar.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Only chance they develop is overseas, there are smart minds in the country but the $ will always stifle them.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

I hope that kid had a passport before 16, looks like a perfect size for the 4 spot. Hopefully not another Kai Balungay situation.Originally posted by yobabs715ph View PostIs this kid already featured here? He is is an interesting prospect SBP might take a look at.
