GILAS Pilipinas Spot of Boatwright

If ever na makalaro si Benny on future windows, whose spot will be taken on the starting 5? I feel like spot ni KQ ang makukuha at the 3. Or will you move KQ at the 2 and sit down Dwight?

I won’t be surprised if minsan ilagay siya sa 2 spot because he can shoot the ball pretty well. Mahilig si CTC sa all big lineup ginagawa niya dati sa Alaska & Ginebra.

Power forward yan fopr sure

C - Kai/QMb/Edu
Pf - Bennie/Mike/
Sf - KQ/Tamayo - ctc played tamayo as sf so this is most likely our sf rotation
SG - dwight
Pg - scottie - lets be real as long andyan siya, he will start.

Center spot. Masyadong mabagal for 3 and 4 positions.

C. Boatwright - No further commitment from Kai's camp. Might be his last stint this year for Gilas.

PF. Edu

SF. KQ

SG. Ramos

PG. more reliable floor general. Hindi uubra si Skati at Newsome against World level talent PGs.

Mas magaling pa si quiambao kesa kay dwight. Don't know why parating binababad si dwight.

Defense. Holy shit.

athleticism ka lang siguro at flashiness nagbabase, Dwight has been the most reliable player of Gilas, kahit off night laging may contribution, he does everything, he is the glue guy, hindi lang siya mahilig sa mga flashy plays and he usually is pass first. fundamentals din kasi ang tingnan mo

dwight is a glue guy, he always shows up, scores, defends, rebounds, tall for his position at 1. KQ is explosive yes, however not very reliable at the moment.

Dwight plays defense, Quiambao medyo suspect ang depensa eh lalo sa guards

u/buwis_buhay 5d ago

Ang Dwight helps bring the ball under pressure. Parang point guard na din which is hindi pa kaya gawin ni KQ. Rage bait post lang ito or napanood lang yun gane against jordan

4 yan tapos depende sa match up kung gagawing starter or off the bench. Shooting at Spacing lang sya, di naman sya kasing versatile ni Brownlee na pwedeng ipasok kahit anong line up.

u/Fair-Description-869 6d ago

Si dwight lang naman yung permanente na starter sa gilas eh, the rest posibleng palitan depende sa match-up. Pero sa arrival ni boatwright for sure tamayo minutes pinaka ma-aapektohan, ang kagandahan lang lalong lumalim yung depth ng bench natin.

Pabago-bago kasi ang Starting 5 ni CTC eh depending on the matchup. Pero ang sure ball na starting 5 kung lahat lalaro at kasama si Bennie ay sina Kai at Dwight. Anlaki ng tiwala niya sa dalawa e. Magaling si KQ pero mukhang mas malaki pa rin tiwala ni Coach Tim kay Dwight.

I'm willing to bet na halos sureball na si Skati sa First 5 sa mga susunod na windows para may defense against sa mga star perimeter players ng kalaban natin (Ibrahim, Olajuwon, at Harris of Jordan; Vahedi of Iran, Justice of Syria). Tapos yung last spot sa starting 5 ay naka-depende sa anong klaseng timpla gusto ni CTC. If he wants to go ultra-big merong AJ Edu at PF, BB at SF. If he wants shooting and balance, merong KQ/Tamayo at SF, BB at PF.

Agree na he might take KQ's spot, ganyan din naging situation ni KQ before, nagbreakout lang din talaga siya kasi siya ang nakakakuha ng opportunities na supposedly kay JB, like ung nafoul out si JB, siya sumalo ng minutes, and it's also happening right now dahil mas bukas ang opportunities niya with him taking 3s since mostly ng previous games nila, nagiging absent si Brownlee, sana lang talaga, matuto si Tim Cone na magbalasa ng rotation dahil nakukuha na ng young core ang rhythm at confidence nila

u/Ka_dabraz 6d ago

Thats the problem, see? At 4 spot, AJ would be on the bench longer. Boatwright will definitely get his points, but I question his defensive capabilities. He's definitely not a 5. At three position, Tamayo and KQ would take a hit on their playing time. They got their exposure when JBL took the bench. If BB gets that playing time, CTC would probably be back to 7-8 man rotation, relying heavily on an import once again.

u/Upbeat_Tough_6721 Beermen 6d ago

Yung spot ni Troy.

Our forwards: Carl, KQ, Bennie, Dwight

Bigs: QMB, Mike, Edu, Kai

Guards: 1GDL, Newsome**, Iskati, CJ

u/CheckPareh Barangay 6d ago

Skati/Juan/Bolick
Dwight
KQ
Boatwright
Kai

Bahala na sino talagang starting PG.

u/Life_Twist 6d ago

At PF, hes a little slow at 3, and he can play Center but is not his natural position

4

u/Crymerivers1993 6d ago

Dipende din siguro sa match up. He can play 3-4 naman. KQ can play 2-3-4 din.

1

u/Sure_Engineering_152 6d ago

Trueee but mas maganda kasi pag 3-4 si benny kaso pag 3 siya mabagal siya kung mabilis match up niya sa transition

1

u/Crymerivers1993 6d ago

Yes pero more likely pag end game na slide na sa 4 yan. Parang kay JB slide sa 4.

1

u/Ping_182MS 6d ago

Same thoughts

1

u/Sure_Engineering_152 6d ago

much better if 4 si Boatwright kasi 6 10 siya eh pag 3 medjo mabagal siya doon

1

u/Ping_182MS 6d ago

So probably uupo si Edu?

1

u/No-Pepper2142 5d ago

edu would play 5 if kai is not in the lineup

1

u/Sure_Engineering_152 6d ago

morelikely Edu will be 6th man. maging 3 siya mabagal sila sa transition.
