Future Big Men Of Philippine Basketball

[Metta]

Yeah, he should play with & against players a few years older than him. Maybe when he reaches 14 years old, he can already play for Batang Gilas U-16 team. Maybe when he's 15 or 16, he can already play for Batang Gilas U-18 team.

Like I said in the women's thread, Sophia Dignadice who just secured a D1 offer as a sophomore in high school always played up. At least 3 or more against girls and with boys who were also older. She was even scrimmaging with boys who were 3 years older like Ashton Hardaway (son of Penny) who is also headed D1.

Aside from the skill you are forced to develop, it gives you tremendous confidence that when you face competition your age you dominate.

Locally, Gemao has always been doing this and the results show.

In few years time UE's former FSA Charles Mammie's Filipino kid will be included on this thread..that 8 yr. old kiddo has a lot of potential as well.

Yes, he does. I've called dibs already with his guardian.

Btw, Charles has spread his genes around. I think he has around 5 first born children to different women.

Whew!! Can’t blame those from the opposite sex because once your inside the deepest part of the premises of the British Broadcasting Company it’s a lifetime dream for them, indeed once you pop you can’t stop.

Well the important thing is people like you Sir needs a pat in the back for doing some noble things due to our motivation "because we love the game", sometimes we don't agree on some issues esp. on politics same with Sir Dave, well that's part of the so-called healthy conversation.

Brandon Bates

The possibility that he came over at around 2016 to 2017 to fill up the residency requirements played for several off-season tournaments before his actual debut on Season 81 up to 83. In fact in the official FIBA website his profile > Nationality is already tagged as Filipino being able to represent the country in a FIBA sanctioned tournament.

Therefore, the Fil-Aus bigman has a chance to play as a local in the FIBA 5x5 in the immediate future considering he already established his strong domestic connection in the same breath as Jason Perkins.

Chapter 1: ELIGIBILITY, NATIONAL STATUS AND AVAILABILITY OF PLAYERS

Players With Two or More Nationalities
Article 17. Amy player who has played (i.e appeared on the final team delegation roster) in a main official competition of FIBA (including a FIBA 3x3 Competition) for a National team for which the player is eligible is considered as having chosen the national team of that country.
As for the local eligibility of Keith Datu, Luis Villegas and BGR well it always depends on the discretion of the Sec Gen and his committee of evaluators on how many years and merits needed to satisfy one’s requirements because the wisdom of FIBA’s Internal Regulation is all about strong domestic connection, representation and involvement we’ve seen how the likes of Brandon Jawato of INA, Moises Morgan, Tyler Lamb and Fred Lish of THA, Eric Gordon of BAS and eventually(?) Klay Thompson got their local exemption as our benchmark/reference for future endorsement.

[hmbopbaduwap]

Their mothers are natural born Filipinas?

Yes they are, and if we are to believe the rumors, Mammie has atleast 3 or 4 more from different pinays hahaha

[Joe Yabuki]

More reason to treat FSAs / naturalized players as locals in the PBA

[JAMSKIE]

I think GMA should start the initiative on improving the ncaa. They generate money so they hold sway.

They are an important stakeholder and is doing a lot to raise the popularity of the league. Players even do guesting in their other TV shows, this shows how much invested they are in its success. They should realize that trying to market it as is in its current form is not as good as improving it as a product first and then market the heck out of it.

Sir Mets,

Sorry but I need to post this, my momentum is getting there.

GMA is ONLY known for their showbiz stuff, low-level telenovela/k-drama and news programming that's there bread n butter but as far as promoting sporting events and programming forget they are horrible. in fact even during interview on athletes they tend to ask questions about lovelife and other low level things like what is your favorite color, foods and motto in life..what the @@#$% seriously??? parang slum book lang ang peg..I used to do this during my elementary and HS days when many of my girls classmates and from the other sections gave me there scented and colorful notebooks just to answer something inside those spiral notebooks of them
