    But they will clog the shaded lane. Hence, it will always difficult for most Pinoy players to either post up or penetrate to the basket. They need to develop their perimeter shooting to counter the bigger FSA.

      Give me a team in UAAP that a local Center doesn't have a decent perimeter. For example of my argument. UST has Concepcion and Ando both have good to very good perimeter shot.

          I think Concepcion can actually be developed as a 2/3. He somewhat plays like a perimeter player. Ando naman, actually I think he can play 4 as well, given that he can space the floor for a bigger but non-shooting or more inside-operating teammate. Like you said, both are good perimeter shooters.

          Ayo's system in UST can be positionless on offense, e. It had an effect on the two players mentioned.

            To be fair naman, it's true, our homegrown NCAA/UAAP bigs have been developing a jumper, whether midrange or 3-point line, just to help space the floor. That kinda helps them complement (or counter) the FSA, depending on the lineup and matchup.

            Those local bigs will still need to play the PF, though, instead of just backing up the center. They'll get used to guarding the perimeter a little more, but they can still play like bigs at that spot, especially the good ones who can play the post really well. If someone like Isaac Go can play as a big PF, these 6'6"-6'8" collegiate bigs can play the 4 as well.

              I remember during Sudan's and Ekwe's time they would post insane block numbers because the locals haven't adjusted to their length and athleticism. Nowadays you won't see such stats anymore because everyone is used to playing with them.

                sorry but I don't get your question and I don't even get your point. I just answer your reply that the FSA's have no perimeter shooting. for the majority, I agree with you - that these FSA's are no good shooters, maybe except Kouame, Chabi Yo and Mbala. However, why they have to if they just clog the lane in offense? They are physically taller, bigger and stronger.

                  And now, ayun. Can't get used to length and height of foreigners if there's none. And the PBA is also somewhat doing that, although with a 6'6" height limit instead of a total ban on imports. Our 6'6"-6'8" bigs can't play 4 next to a shorter import, or without an import.

                    6'6 wings forced to play big against our 6'7 and above players. Even FSAs in college are taller than that. Ola and co aren't really that busy nowadays. Why can't they just sign them?

                      LOL but the fact is these players you mentioned had other people footing their bill in the us, its no secret that danding footed the bill of kobe. they didn't pay for their expenses out of their own pocket. hence the more accurate statement is "you need a backer to even sniff the nba by playing HS ball in the US".

                        LOL even then all of them are second generation. Kai had a property to live in the US and still had to spend his own money. Can’t really say more but agencies don’t actually shoulder everything. That’s probably why Lopez or Tamayo didn’t go through EWP, they needed to spend themselves (or have backing). But I feel if your dad was a former player and had ties to these people it’s easier to get sponsorship.

                        News that Lopez joined

                          Another Discovery

                          A 6’8” 17-year-old boy received his first dose of Covid-19 vaccine last November 12 at Cotabato City Central Pilot School.

                          The national government recently included the vaccination of pediatric age groups 12 to 17 years old to give them "extra layer of protection" against the virus.

                          Some more info on this kid:


                          The mother says that the kid is 6'10" in shoes. The coach says that he's a good defender and has long arms, and can also shoot well, at least from midrange. Heck, the video also shows him doing stepbacks. His mechanics look good, just need a little tweaking. He just needs to work on conditioning, since his stamina's a weak point.

                          Hope this kid can play both 4 and 5. Could be useful for him, especially considering that he wants to play for Batang Gilas.

                            AND NOW, HE WILL GO TO SAN BEDA. LOL

                            Looks like He is from Cotabato

                            "Brix Verzosa, 17, is 6-foot-8, wears size 20 shoes, and is committed to play for San Beda once high school basketball returns #vaxxed #teenprodigy"

                            "Si Brix, hilig niya talaga 'yan maglaro ng basketball. Simula bata siya, dito lang sa lugar namin, sumasali 'yan sa mga liga-liga, ganon pa lang," Janet Soriano, Brix's mother, tells SPIN Life."

                            "Mahilig maglaro pero sobrang mahiyain, kahit lumabas ng bahay, nahihiya. Minsan, tuwing lalabas kami, sasabihin sa akin, 'Ma, ang daming nakatingin sakin,' sasabihin ko naman na 'ganon talaga, matangkad ka,'," she shared.

                            "Bata pa lang siya, angat na talaga 'yung height niya. Wala naman akong ginawang pagpapalaking iba kundi pagkain nang tama, at hinahayaan ko siya matulog," she said.

                            "May basketball court dito walking distance lang sa amin, every afternoon nagpa-practice sila, nagshu-shooting kasama ng mga pinsan niya. Center ang laro niya," his mom shares."

                            "May nagpakilala sa amin sa coach ng San Beda, si coach Noli Mejos, tapos ayon, binigyan nila ng scholarship si Brix, at nagpadala ng mga gamit at sapatos, ngayon may nagagamit na siya," she said.
                            He'll be a big part of their plans, according to the Beda Red Cubs coach: https://www.spin.ph/basketball/ncaa-...a2437-20211205

                            Coach says he's a project, and he can form a good partnership with Adrian Sollano. Red Cubs might have a nice twin tower combination in their hands.

                              And, wow, looks like Beda also got Sollano. If they did get him, Sollano's in a good program to hone his perimeter skills, seeing as he's a more perimeter-oriented big, based on the videos made on him. If they could make him an oversized wing in the mold of Tamayo and Baltazar, that would be a treat for a bigman prospect.

                                What I got from your statement is that Pinoys bigs should have perimeter game. Which I agree, thats why I asked who are those Centers who have no perimeter shot. A lot of IBNers are saying we need coaches to make 4 and 5 to be perimeter players. Which I always reply that most are already and most schools encourage that skill in our bigs since this decade. Why are we still asking coaches something they already are doing
