Nenad is focused more on developing potential players for 2023. Abando and Chiu are starting to make their case. KQuiam is making his case for SEA and Asia levels. It's now Dave's chance. The good thing is Nenads system gives a lot of good looks. Dave will have lots of chances. -
so Kquiam is quiambao's nickname? lol. Anyway this is the beauty of having a foreign coach, they emphasize on player development, unlike when Gilas was handled by local coaches who wants finished products on the team..Originally posted by Rds View PostComment

Development it is, esp on non bearing games. It is very evident on the Korea friendlies. Quiambao had a very erratic stretch and yet he wasn’t subbed out even with the game really tight. Coach Tab displayed the same on the King Abdulla Cup. Meanwhile everyone’s beloved can’t find a minute for Lebron against Indonesia.Originally posted by CoJ View PostNever look too far ahead.

Quiambao and Tamayo's height were both an inch short of their supposed updated height since under 16.Originally posted by ja.he View PostComment

Looks like this lineup is for Nenad to fail so that Choke will have a glorious comeback..Why noy include an NP (ineligible Filfor) and play only with 11 man lineup. Granting its we are giving up against NZ, but India game is not a sure thing, India will be parading the 3 Singhs, Amhjot, Princepal and their shooter Brugavenshi...We knownthat the Singhs has been making our PBA bigs some fits from way back.... INDIA will be coach by a veteran internationalist in Matic...Originally posted by ja.he View PostComment

I couldn't agree with U more bro.Originally posted by sajubeads View Post
While Thirdy's 3-pt shooting isn't really impressive, I think its not that bad naman. I don't think Thirdy should be shooting 3's like a prime Jeff Chan or Dondon Hontiveros to effective with Gilas. No need to be as good as that becoz he is a natural slasher. Yun talaga laro ni Thirdy.
Also, Thirdy is a decent wing defender so I think that's an added value for him on the team. And of course, he has more experience playing FIBA or international basketball than some of the current players in the pool like Abando, Lopez, Dave I."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.

Dave Ildefonso over Thirdy? That sounds very intriguing to me. This to think that Dave has just come from an ankle injury.Originally posted by IPC View Post"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.

Even at 6'2, Thirdy is athletic and strong enough to defend guards and wings 6'7 below. If only his transition to PG in San-en was more productive he could at least replace SJ or RJ as PG for the team.Originally posted by sajubeads View Post
The recent U16 was a prime example of the need to have a capable back-up PG. When Bahay was sitting, Lebron Nieto is doing wonders for the opposing team most of the time.Comment

I agree. Thirdy is an "annoying" defender. Even without shooting buckets, he still contributes a lot in terms of defense.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
I'd rather have someone who still contributes to the team without shooting over someone who has no other asset other than shooting because in a bad (shooting) day, they still contributeComment

Being a very athletic 6-foot-2 wingman, Thirdy won't be mismatched against 6-foot-4 or even 6-foot-5 wings of the opponent.Originally posted by Juancho View Post"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.
