Mason showing great vision and read of the game. I would list him at 6'7, he's already 16

How do U envision Mason Amos, a 3 or a 4? Or a combo forward?
If he ends up standing at least as a legit 6-foot-8, he could be the best forward in his batch to play for Gilas.

Calvin Oftana - 6-foot-5 playing as a "four" with San Beda but has qualities of a natural 3.
BTW, if I'm not mistaken Troy Rosario's PBA measurement is only around 6-foot-5 & 1/2.

That's somewhat too much to ask for bro at this moment.
Maybe some 7 to 10 years from now, we'll see some prospects like that looming on the horizon.

Can Mason Amos be our Modern or Better Version of Danny Seigle???
I think he can play like Prime Danny S.
We needed a player like that for our national team
That's what I also have in mind.
But I'm thinking of a Danny Seigle version with decent defense.

Danny Seigle has decent bounce already when he was in high school.I saw one of his games and he could really jump already, although Mason is still very young, he should work on a bit of his vertical jump. the only comparison that is very obvious is that they are around the same height ,they are both playing the power forward position and they both could shoot on the perimeter. It's too early to tell what Mason could do, he will still develop his body and improve a lot. I just hope he'll play D1 College in the US.He could be the next Danny Seigle or the next Bojan Bogdanovic.

I’m impressed with Mason Amos. Always good to have fundamentally sound players with high motor. He’s not quick nor slow, but his activity is always a plus to have on the floor. Slower Sean Anthony.
Never look too far ahead. You might stumble on a block right in front of you.

Well, the thing is, Mason Amos is athletic & I think he's athletic enough to get the job done. I don't think Mason really needs to match Seigle's leaping ability & bounce in order to be really effective for gilas. What Mason needs the most in my opinion is match (or perhaps come close to) Seigle's shooting & ball handling. It would even be better if Mason turns himself into a better wing defender than Seigle.
Honestly I'm not really that sold out on athleticism(not to say it isn't important). Skills & work ethic weigh more for me.
