While there is historical reason why we should temper expectation of fil-foreigners. especially with a number of failures like Lutz and Ellis, there is also good basis to make projections on the worst and best case scenarios of prospects like Martin and AJ. To not make those projections because of previous bust isn't what scouts are paid to do. they're paid to find and identify prospects they feel will be game changers. And to me while obviously I can be wrong , i'm willing to make my bet on Remy Martin and AJ Edu that they will be the future of Philippine basketball. Yes I know i stand the chance of getting it wrong , but I'd rather put my eggs with them if I had to make a choice rather than the other prospects. I've seen enough to take that gamble regardless of their age.

Originally posted by NOiNU View PostDefinitely, there's a chance. He's a 4 star, along with Hepa. To put that into perspective, Kobe Paras is a 3 star. Martin is on ESPN's Top 100 (at the 55th-70th range perhaps). Hepa i think made it inside the top 50 before committing to the Texas Longhorns. This shows Remy Martin is in good company.The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.

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

Meanwhile, the PBA...."Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone..." - Timo Cruz (Coach Carter)
