I think he’s a forward for now. In the mpbl jr game he dribbled mainly right handed and pretty much had one move which was that spin to his left. Also didn’t shoot much but his shooting wasn’t good but that video shows he seems to be improving and expanding his repertoire a bit. FEU seems great at development in the high school level

Probably will have a ceiling height of 6'9 and that's a tall forward and the impressive thing about that highligt was his motorskills.

I don't know whether to put this in the big men or wing men thread, 6'6 14yo
He should assume that he will already top out at 6'6 and develop skills needed by guys that height (internationally). If he happens to grow more, then that's what will make him truly special.
That was the disadvantage with how Hepa grew. He grew fast to 6'8 at 14 and that was it. Guys who where smaller at a young age developed better skills and eventually caught up to his height.
There will be coaches/teams that will push him to play as a big (and get stronger/heavier physically) always close to the basket to win games, that's not what's best for him in the long run. Concentrate on developing speed and skills, strength is easier to acquire later on.

I hope this kid has still some growth left in him. A taller version of Tamayo will be good for Gilas.
A normal Filipino stops growing at 15 to 16,but since he has the tall genes,I'm guessing he will grow until 17,so we're looking at possible 6'8-6'9,even Kai stopped growing at 17,he remained at his real measured height of 7'218.

Yeah he has nice balance looking like a ballerina sometimes on that pivot foot, his spin looks very smooth and quick."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

I remember when Rayray Parks was around 14 yrs old, he was already said to be 6-foot-3, which means he hardly grew since then."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.

For his age (he''s 14 I think in the video clips), exhibiting such moves is already impressive. I think this kid's basketball skills are innate. Kumbaga eh, such skills just come in handy. He doesn't have to really work hard for it. Well, what more if he works hard for it.

It’s a good thing he only 14 already getting exposure to imports. I’ve noticed imports in the uaap high school level which I think will be interesting for development going forward."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.

For an undersized big (6'7"-6'9") to be able to play center, he'll need to have a good combination of length and athleticism to compensate, ala Mike Phillips.

I think he looks like Tamayo physically with the body type, even the way he runs is similar to Tamayo also both very much below the rim athletes."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.
