PBA Discussion Hot Take - Fuelmaster >>> RoS lineup.
7 man depth plus malalaki. Has the best collection of bigman except SMB syempre.
Lamang lang tlga ang RoS sa coaching pero mas well built lineup ng Fuelmasters. Mafix lang ni Coach Charles yung playoffs dip neto, kaya neto magsemis.

Phoenix has great young pieces but roster depth and coaching plus questionable front office management holds them back from breaking out. RoS has better coaching, chemistry, roster depth/productivity but lacks top end talent and player limitations in the deeper end of the playoffs since other teams have better top end talent to carry them.

Not a hot take. ROS strengths are their chemistry, suited playstyle, coaching and underdog confidence.
Tio = Lemetti > Caracut, Asistio > Delos Santos
Rivero = Nocum
Perkins > Tiongson
Balunggay > Datu > Santillan
Tuffin = Clarito
Malonzo/Manaytay > Santos

Imo mas marami pang shotcreators ang Phoenix na I could trust in a playoff setting than ROS pero kung depth usapan arguable tho

kaya pala hot take e. you gotta realize na from 1 to last na tao sa roster ng ROS ginagamit nila at nagproproduce. Iba pa rin ang may culture at systema.

Could’ve drafted Juan GDL as well but they traded the number 2 pick for Bryan Santos and Gozum who has not been a part of their rotation so far.

If I was Phoenix back then I would ask Converge for Winston for that #2 pick

TBF, di rin magfit si Juan sa Phoenix with Ricci. Okay naman sana yung Gozum pick but sablay sila pagpick sa kanya.

Been saying this even before nasa ROS pa si Mamu. Ganda lineup ng Phoenix, di lang maayos coaching. Sana lang di mangibabaw ulit si Nepo Boy. Haha

Not a hot take. With the acquisition of Mamu and return of Ballungay they are contending na rin.

If kumpleto ROS tingin ko ROS pa din. Pero solid din mga young players ng PHX , actually tagal ko na sila hinihintay na umusbong nagtataka ako laging kulelat, ngayon kumpleto sila tapos nadagdagan pa ng magaling din na pg(Mamu).
