"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

Originally posted by ja.he View PostFor me, I like the idea of sending Go, Carino and Balti in this window. These games are valuable experience for them. Atleast they know what it feels like against a veteran FIBA campaigner.
IMO, i will still send these against 2nd Indonesia match add one from Japeth, CS or if naturalized, Kouame.
Korean matches should be reserved to Kouame, Japeth, with Balty and Carino in.
Gilas has about 10-13 bigs that can be put into our pool while Thailand only has Teerawat, Patiphan and Jakrawan as decent bigs. The rest are either short or unskilled.
The concept of forming a cadet team is to try out the young players & find out if who's got the right stuff & who doesn't. Now some of these players will not show anything in their first stint but the thing is, they're still young & developing. For instance, Dave Ildefonso was far from impressive in this window, but the kid is only 20 years old. Things would be different if a 23-year old plays in this level of game."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.

Originally posted by IPC View PostYeah, we need guys like Japeth, Standhardinger, and Kouame to push Baltazar, Go, and Cariño to the 4-spot. We need these young bigs to be playable when called upon. Hope in the future, they can be part of the 2023 roster."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.

Originally posted by IshmaelM View PostBaltazar at 4 was the key defensively to this team. There is no doubt he can guard perimeter players. Kobe might have better laterals but Balti is not way off and has more length.
Take note this is the first time Balti played internationally. Kmark played in the U16. His defense is good enough to defend Jakrawan decently but not stop him. Jakrawan is not slow by Asian standards. Balti does not need to. But he needs to make him work more in D. Like improving that 3 of his and being more creative in his post moves.
Give the guy credit. For his first time he was pretty good. He was our most important player defensively.
Well, it should also be noted that he rebounded well too. 17 rebounds in 2 games this window. Not bad.

these players were not prospects same time last year , they are now... that's the best outcome i could think of
6'7 SF, lanky, good defender and quick? That's the guy you want chasing against the Korean shooters. His length will definitely bother them. I got this kid as the main back up of Dwight at SF position.
