Future Big Men Of Philippine Basketball

[IPC]

I'm seeing bigs like Daep, Borja, Palanca, and Solomon having decent enough laterals to play the 4 and maybe guard the perimeter a bit. Hopefully, they can grow on defense.

It seems you're from Pampanga. That region has been producing very tall players some of whom are skilled. It's all about early training.

If conditions in our country was the best, we would have multiple sports available for young kids. In the US for example, most kids start playing soccer or baseball/softball at around 6. They play for fun and for social purposes. At the same time, like you said, it develops muscle memory. Also agility, reflex, etc.

It's like learning a language, the younger you teach a kid the easier. It's because kids' brains are still developing.

It's the same with sports/movement.

Then there are skills that is very important to learn early (pre-10). Skills like dribbling in basketball, hitting in baseball, "touch" in soccer...learning those skills late is difficult. It's best to teach this really early.

i hope all the local young prospects bigs or any position should train under him (jeferson codera). He got USA basketball skills license and skills coach of GSW. he trained Carl Tamayo and Seven Gagate in the past. he's currently training the Mapua cardinals and 15 y/o 6'9 andwill yap.

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.

Yes, I know of Sophia Dignadice from Bishop Montgomery HS (CA). She is spectacular. She is right up there with Naomi Panganiban & Kayla Padilla ( USC ). Future of Gilas women basketball.

Tiffany Reyes the daughter of JR Reyes playing on the NBTC under 19 team and she is only 13 years old and she's doing good against the older players...and heard she is already six feet tall

How old is this kid?

Honestly, she looks more promising than his brother at the moment. Hope she gains a couple of inches more so that we'll have a tall and mobile 3 or 4.

At this early you can tell they need motorskills improvement.

The 11 year old has high upside if he starts training correctly then "plays up."

The older guys are right on track to be prototypical pinoy big men.

Playing any sport early would've made a big difference for them. Imagine them having the running ability of a soccer player, reflexes of a baseball player or physicality of a football player. Even simple dribbling training and layup drills early would've raised their potential much higher.

if memory serves me right, and i have been wrong before, Yap only started playing organized basketball last year. we have no idea what he has been doing before last year but it is evident that it did not help his movement. as always, we can only hope for the best for these kids but we really need to encourage sports at an earlier stage. it doesnt matter if the kids focus change after a year or 2 but atleast the discipline and habit of playing organized sport has already begun before the genes kick in,

It doesn't hurt that this early,they send them to a more advanced camp for big men,it will put them in a much different basketball scenario,preferably against foreign kids,they get to play against guys their size.

Sir Dave,

I hope your good companions may somehow help our Fil-Kiwi kid 6'8 Jireh Tumaneng to hook-up with the likes of coach Jeff Codera.

I think those from that ADU camp are ain't warm and enthusiastic to develop that kid.

being 17 yrs. old(?) I hope puede pang mai habol yung core ng bata na bigla na lang naglaho na parang bula.

thank you.

[BJ_Reloaded]

I had a gut feeling that the parents and the handlers of that big kid Andwil Yap are a regular(?) IBN readers,

they know who are the best personnel to hook-up to develop the lad.

btw, is that CTB in the video doing some one on one drills?

thank you.
