Originally posted by astigram04Well, he's at least taller and quicker. I'm not sure if he shoots better tho. But if he does polishes his shooting, add to that he develops the same timing on the defensive end as his dad, maybe good enough as a last big in the rotation at the asian level.
Anyway, so, he's signed as a local, his team can sign another pinoy baller

I did some research on the B-league, mainly the composition of teams & I could notice the shortage of good quality centers & even "fours" or power forwards among the locals. Wala halos bigs who stand 6-foot-8 & above as well as "fours"/power forwards who stand 6-6/6-7.
I agree with ja.he, when it comes to local players standing 6-7 & above, PBA is better than the B-league.
I only hope (as I say repeatedly) that our 6'7"-6'8" bigs would be able to play the 4-spot, not just center, so as not to be a liability as a big in the international stage (unless you are RDO or Ping, or Japeth special).

Well, that's how it is. We really can't have them all. At least Caelum Harris seem to have make it in time. So we'll have to make do with what we have."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 IV

Man, if TNT wins this All-Filipino, their 3-big rotation might be noticed. Kelly (6'6"), Troy (6'7"), and Erram (6'8") could play both big positions (Erram played 4 when next to Kelly). None of them are post-players, but they bring something to the table. Kelly is a versatile defender, strong enough to guard the post, and agile enough to switch to the perimeter. Troy can is athletic and an energetic rebounder. Erram can protect the rim and defend both big positions. All of them can shoot the ball (Kelly only to an extent) and score close to the basket.
I hope most, if not all, 6'7"-6'8" bigs will have the ability to play both big positions, so they won't be much of a liability playing either spot. Having a post repertoire like Sangalang and Mo is a bonus.

I'm really curious at how Sangalang would fare against the defense of Kelly Williams & Erram. I agree with you, K. Will exhibits versatility in the defense end. He can defend post-up players as well as perimeter players."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.

Originally posted by IPC View PostMan, I hope we get a big like him. The closest we had was 6'5" Ping, who can switch to the perimeter to an extent, to at least contain. Hopefully we can get a 6'7"-6'8" version of Ping and Kelly. Doesn't matter if purely Filipino or has foreign heritage. Basta, he has the abilities of Kelly or Ping, and he's eligible.
A 6'5 Ping was already a monster in the boards. What more a 6'9 with the same ability?GILAS WISHLIST:
6'8 Pingris

I think it's Abueva who's gonna give them a bigger problem. Who are they gonna put on him? He's too strong and athletic for Pogoy and too quick for the bigger guys. They really should have kept one of Semerad or Trollano..

Officially date stamp engagement with DFA on subject of processing passport. that's the key .. It all adds up to supporting one's case if passport is issued after date of birth. (not saying it's automatic that it will be accepted, but it definitely helps)
