Castro can perform and he will, but if they want to win the championship and dominate the league, others have to fight their mental ability to chance to perform very well.. choking is not an option for them this season...

Is it a coincidence? It is happenning in the PAST 10 years.
SMC and MVP.
They use the logic that the more teams they have in the playoffs, the better chance to win the chip. They always make sure that thei each 3 teams will enter the playoffs.
If Ginebra beat Magnolia, and TNT beat Nlex, Magnolia and Nlex will be both eliminated

Originally posted by sajubeads View PostDi tayo nagkakaintindihan bro... You are thinking about their PBA teams, Im thinking about Gilas...We cant just compare a rookie who has not played in the PBA like Nieto to vets like Khobs and Racal, we dont have stats to base for that.. Wait once he enter in the PBA.. Did i mention that Mike is better than Khobs and Racal now, but I dare say he might be better than Racal or Khobuntin come 2023... But that 6-7 age gap will matter, after his Gilas stint, Mike will be in his upward trajectory while Khobs and Racal will be downward alreasy due to age and perhaps injury in case if Racal... MIKE would be better than Khobs and Racal both in the PBA and international wise come 2023 or once he enter the PBA, sayang naman training nia inyernationally and with Tab if he cany be better than Khobs and Racal who are not having All Star caliber level career naman...Pero with Baltazar, i think he is better now, more upside than Caperal and Sangalang and come 2023 will be better than both... For one Baltazar is taller at least 6-7 barefoot, longer, better defender both insise and in PNR ( Sangalang is just 6-5 1/2, Caperal 6-6 pre draft measurement.) .. MAKES me wonder why Caperal and Sangalang were not considered last Feb window while Balatazar is in the pool...Comparing an incoming rookie vs Vets is comparing Projection /Potential vs reputation, its all speculative at this stage.. Malalaman natin yan who will be the better player after their career or they reach equal number of seasons in the PBA.
For Balti naman of course I’d probably take him by 2023. Pero NOW?? He’d be the 6th best big man in the PBA??? Over Caperal, Sangalang, Tautuaa, Tratter, Belga, Quinahan???
Also Im talking about PBA. So stop bringing up FIBA/International.

I feel like there is either a hype train going on for Mike or a hate train going for Khobuntin. The better HS player is no doubt Mike. Slam Rising Star, UAAP Jrs MVP, Jrs Champion, Mythical 5, Batang Gilas U16/U17, U17 Silver Medalist, U17 World Cup, U18 3x3 World Cup. Khobuntin on the other hand was just somebody else on Letran. I think Khobuntin is a better College player than Mike. Mike was cut his first season because he was overweight. Mike did help win 3 Championship but he was behind 8 other players. On the other hand Khobuntin won a championship when Parks left since he had the ball in his hands most of the time. Alolino was a pass first PG and Rosario was only crashing offensive rebounds back then. Aroga was the only other play that would ask for the ball. Khobuntin averaged more in all stats than Mike. Khobuntin also won 2 gold medals after that season. Khobuntin had a short stint at cadets because he applied for the draft straight away. He did play good in 3x3 world cup. Mike is only starting his cadets career but he was already cut vs Indonesia.
As of now there is no way to say if Mike will be better than Khobuntin prime for prime. But as of now its not even close. I agree with qwerty Mike would be struggling playing with RoS. This is a reminder of what Khobuntin could do back in 3x3 world cup.

Originally posted by thatweirdguy View PostKhobunting was a monster at HS and was Jarellan Tampus' Robin. He was an undersized bigman too like Mike but I'd rate him higher because of his built coming out of hs unlike Mike who was overweight. Mike's advantages is probably that he went to a better program. He wasn't as big in college but he played for a winning program in a smaller role than Khobunting. To be honest both aren't starter quality probably but I'd take Glen because of his body strength
Also thank you for correcting me about Khobuntin’s HS career. I only know Mike achieved/accomplished more than Khobuntin in HS.

Originally posted by curtaincall View PostAgree. They are good but not that good of players to be having a debate over. The only advantage I see Mike having is that he is a better shooter and better system player. Khobuntin tends to use his strength even against bigger europeans and likes to go iso and shoot the ball. Thats why I dont get this argument. They have completely different roles and playing style. Mike can play without the ball. Khobuntin is more dangerous with the ball and is also a better defender.

Yeah Khobuntin was a pretty big recruit for NU back then. Remember NU was just starting to really spend at that time. This was before they got Parks, Alolino etc. If I remember it right he had some flu or fever during the juinor Finals and he was still a handful for our bigs . Jeron Teng is probably the closest player I could compare him to. Mike didn't received the same hype coming out of hs partly because of hes an undersized and out of shape and probably cause he's a lock for ADMU along with his twin.

This is my whole point. We cant just say a college player is better than a PBA player right now. Depende nalang kung Magat, Yutien or Raymond Aguilar. To say that Balti will be the 6th best big man right now is just absurd. It might be true but lets not forget about these players who are serviceable at a higher level. Im not saying Balti will not be good in the PBA right now. He’ll probably gain a rotation for any team right now. Kai has a strong case as well as Edu since they are playing at a high level. For Khobuntin and Mike naman. I honestly dont think there should even be a debate. Mike is yet to play in the PBA. Heck he hasnt even faced MPBL level competition.
PBA usapan. Not FIBA or Gilas or International.Last edited by qwertyz; 10-29-2020, 10:59 PM.

Originally posted by Tuck View PostHow do you think they rig this?Originally posted by qwertyz View PostBro stop talking about Gilas. Balti is yet to attend a practice since U18 to Cadets to Seniors. This is the PBA Philippine Cup thread. If you take Belga out of RoS and put Baltazar instead would he have the same impact of Belga? I actually think he will be a great PBA player. Im not taking Balti over Caperal who is probably one of the best stretch bigs in the PBA right now as well as Sangalang who is averaging 12/8 for a winning team. Id pick Balti over any Blackwater/Terrafirma centers. But I wouldn’t put him in the top 10 right away. Again no basis. He has 1 more year in the UAAP. Because if everything was fine (no injury Fajardo/signed Slaughter). My top bigs in the PBA would be Fajardo, Slaughter, Erram, Cstand, Mo, Belga, Japeth, Chua, Sangalang, Tratter. The NLEX bigs may have a case.
