Same thing with TJ Warren, who’s the hottest player in the bubble right now not named Luka. Sabonis’ injury paved the way for him playing more 4, and they’re winning. Teams are pushing the small ball limit right now with the Rockets having Tucker and Covington as bigs.

I don't agree with Pop that this is the way forward but it's not like we have a choice given what we have. Honestly, I don't think it matters if we qualify or not as we're likely gonna get swept by LeBron and the Lakers anyways.
And DeMar needs to hit those fucking open 3s for goodness sakes.
Add another wing with length so on defence we're not undersize, make sure he can shoot as well so not a liability like Gabe on offenseNBTC- Team New Zealand - Camp David: vision "To provide a basketball Pathway for Filipino Kids in NZ while building men of character and leadership.

The issue was inadequate preparations which the Philippine Bulok Association (PBA) is very good at.
This combination can work in the Asia-Oceania level at the very least:
PG - 6'0-6'2
SG - 6'2-6'5
SF - 6'5-6'7 (probably a NP)
PF - 6'7+
C - 6'10+
This is pretty doable given the availability of talent we have now. The challenge is getting the right system and training schedule to properly execute it.GILAS WISHLIST:

Agree on prep, it's not a matter of hugot a NP to play with Clarkson in last minute (if FIBA says yes to JC as a local which is a miracle long shot)
But the blue print in there, Kiefer, CJ, Thirdy, Dwight are all there to grow together, just put JC from 2022
Of course bigs, Troy, AJ and Kai
And just role with it and get better as a unit

Btw I think we should refrain from calling Hachimura and Watanabe tweeners. They are not. They’re genuinely versatile players that could play multiple positions. Tweeners are players that are not ideal for any position like Troy and CBC who are undersized as a 4 but are not quick or skilled enough as a 3."With Clarkson settled at the two position, Guiao said he'll choose either Justine Brownlee or Chris McCullough from the pool of players being mentioned as possible naturalized players for Gilas in the future."

any chance we could steal Jalen Green from US in the senior team? Technically if he'll be released by U.S.A basketball, he could still play for other senior national team right? At 6'5 (some listed him 6'6,i think he's legit 6'5 barefoot as compared to Clarkson who is 6'3 barefoot) and his athleticism,he may be a better small forward than Clarkson who never played forward all his life.
