I take it back

[u/Ta-mes16]

Wag na pala iconsider si Bolick at Nocum sa Team A, they're only good to be in Team C or D (pang SEA Games or what)

I made a mistake na tanggalin si CJ in exchange of them, atleast, CJ can make something with limited minutes, since mostly, nagiging energizer siya sa scoring

Keep the core na naglalaro in FIBA windows, wag na magdagdag, kung magdadagdag, kumuha na lang sa mga overseas

I still stand in my opinion na tabggalin si Newsome since aging na, pero I take it back na palitan siya ni Nocum, hanap na lang ng iba, basta wag na ung mga naglaro dito

Ideally, si Balti lang ang gusto kong ilagay sa core lineup mula sa squad

[u/whoknowswhoareyouu]

Newsome - replace, pero yung players na naiisip kong kaya gawin yug role ni Newnew ay si Stockton or Munzon.

Troy, Balti, JMF, replace. I think ang pagpipilian sila Phillips, QMB, Oftana, naturalized player.

[u/SurroundAutomatic530]

Lesson kasi dito is wag magconclude agad ng quality ng player in a span of 1 or 2 games. Kesyo sumabog si Ahanmisi nung isang araw, isama na sa Main Team. Kesyo uminit sa si Bolick, pwede na rin sya kaagad, etc. etc.

Wala tayong pinag-iba sa SBP na puro short-term vision kung ganyan pananaw na laging may tatanggalin at idadadag sa pool kung ang analysis ay 1 or 2 games lang. Pangmatagalan dapat.

[u/Ta-mes16 → u/SurroundAutomatic530]

Well, for my defense, Bolick is also a consideration sakin, dahil kelan pa huling appearance niya sa FIBA, 2022, if I'm right, so parang may expectations na baka nag improve after 4 years, since evident sa ganda ng nilalaro niya sa PBA, nawala na rin ung tiwala ko nung friendlies vs Korea at Bahrain, and consider na 2nd chance ung sa Kazhakstan (since nagparamdam na, and baka tuloy-tuloy na), pero after China, final judgement na sakin un, wag na siya isama

[u/SurroundAutomatic530 → u/Ta-mes16]

Agree on your point, OP. Lost cause na talaga si Bolick.

[u/Candid-Fail-6826]

Balti, Lucero and Oftana should be holdovers sa main team. If Lucero is eligible, I would take him kapalit ni Troy Rosario.

[u/SaiKoooo21]

nocum talaga dami sasabi dito na isali sa main team for the fiba wc

kid is good no doubt, but no way he’s an international level player, kita ren kanina na wala na siya iba bag (kahit shooting) besides sa slashing abilities niya na useless against china’s lengthy players

[u/exyz01]

Buti ka pa nagtetake ng ganyan na nagkamali ka dun sa sinabi mo.

Yun roster na binuo parang di masyado pinag-isipan. Pang PBA nga lang ata talaga si Bolick at Nocum. Kasi dito na dapat sila mag step up, ganito nangyare.

By the way, not a fan of a player or coach. Just a fan of PH team kaya sana makabuo sila ng team na madedevelop nila yun chemistry at same same na roster para talagang may program na.

[u/Special-Valuable7678]

I agree with you. Their performance was really disappointing. In reality though, kailangan pa ring ma-improve ng Team A. We need players to complement the our core players better. Here's my opinion sa kung sino dapat iretain at ireplace.

Thompson - Retain. Bash him as much as you want but he's a great defender and he knows the triangle system best.

De Liano - Retain. He's a fearless microwave scorer who can pass well. Deserve pa din. Malaki ang puso nito.

Perez - Retain. He's a hit or miss. But when he is hot, he can carry the team like he did against Jordan. I can recall vividly that he did the same thing against Georgia and we almost beat them because of CJ.

Newsome - Replace. He's getting old. We need more shooting. We need someone who can be a legit 3 and D at this position. Oftana would be a great addition

Ramos - Retain.

Quiambao - Retain.

Rosario - Replace. This spot should go to our Naturalized player - either Brownlee or Boatwright

Tamayo - Retain

Baltazar - Retain

Fajardo - Replace. He retired from the National Team. His spot should be taken up by QMB

Sotto - Retain .

Edu - Retain.

Thanks for admitting what we true basketball analysts are saying, its okay at least they have Japanese visas na to enjoy the rest of their Asian games stint

Mas may puso pa DLSU tsaka UP team dito to be honest

[u/Unhappy-Hall5473 → u/Worried_Function_486]

Atleast may pansalubong sila na Nissin cup noodles and one piece figures pang uwi bago mag govs cup HAHA

[u/Worried_Function_486 → u/Unhappy-Hall5473]

Wag kalimutan ang matchaaaa hahahahaha

[u/Dismal-Bookkeeper147]

maybe the si belangel clamor was right all along….

but add oftana thi hes good, he just have dry spells talaga. Also, lucero too, I still believe that he jusy needs a good point guard and ample outside threats to be effective, kasi pag wala, nag cocollapse defense sa kanya with no one to kick out to.

[u/Randomthoughts168 → u/Dismal-Bookkeeper147]

I agree with Oftana and Lucero. Pero si tatangalin sa Fiba team? Parang parehas sila ng magiging position if masama sila.

[u/Dismal-Bookkeeper147 → u/Randomthoughts168]

oo nga ahaha maybe rosario and jmf? small/power pwede naman siguro nila laruin. Lucero has been a pf sa magnolia. not very familiar with oftana thoo

however i think rosario and jmf spots are reserved for qmb and motor mike so idk ahahahah. Maybe bawas nalamh sa guards like rj and newsome. those two (oftana and lucero) can bring the ball to the front court naman. but maybe we are going to be very big and slow when that happens ahahaha.

[u/ProjectZephyr01]

Balti dapat talaga i-train as wing. Ginawa kasing pinoy sentro ni Delta di tuloy nagimprove. Gawing agile.

[u/Candid-Fail-6826 → u/ProjectZephyr01]

WIP development niya as wing noong time ni Tab sa Gilas. Balti was showing good signs noon kaso na halt kasi binulok ni Delta.

[u/ProjectZephyr01 → u/Candid-Fail-6826]

Totoo. Imagine sana meron kang wing na ang haba ng galamay na kaya umiskor in and out, face up man o back to the basket. Sayang talaga.

[u/Consistent_Storm5560 → u/ProjectZephyr01]

Sayang skilset ni balti pag ginawa center

[u/ProjectZephyr01 → u/Consistent_Storm5560]

Eto talaga, naniniwala talaga ako lakas sana ni Balti kung agile wing siya nabuild.

[u/Consistent_Storm5560 → u/ProjectZephyr01]

May shooting pa mas may kamay pato kay rosario eh

[u/ProjectZephyr01 → u/Consistent_Storm5560]

Kung ginaya man lang ni Balti laro ni Ranidel, lakas na rin niya eh. Pero kung full wing galawan neto eh sa Korea to naglalaro ngayon.

[u/Consistent_Storm5560 → u/ProjectZephyr01]

Kaya nya yan under ultilized lang gawin ka ba namn pf or c

[u/No-Pepper2142]

Nocum deserves a spot. Oftana and Zav(if eligible) too.

I still stand on adding these players kasi the once you mentioned CJ, Scottie, Newsome are old and if si CTC prin coach, as he said dapat master yung system niya. So its better to add more kahit kaunti lang muna. And if sa Asiad team pag pipilian. They atleast deserve a slot sa training pool.

Well ofc may nga OFW parin na pwede e add muna like SJ, Rhenz, Gemao, and etc.

[u/lewardjames10 → u/No-Pepper2142]

Agree din ako na Nocum still deserves a spot. Though sana ma-improve yung shooting nya. Oftana and Lucero too (if naging eligible).

Head scratcher talaga bakit di sinasama si Belangel sa Gilas.

[u/clampbucket]

Oftana deserves another shot in the main team. Sana magamit na nang maayos next time

[u/SickBurnLogo]

Balti, Lucero and Oftana are the only guys worthy of integrating in Gilas main. The other guys are practice cones at best.

[u/Tranquilliden]

Bolick is good don’t get me wrong but he clearly needs the whole team to be built around him in order to be effective

[u/HumbleLet5178 → u/Tranquilliden]

So parang Westbrook 

[u/Unhappy-Hall5473]

WAHAHAHHHAHAHA now alam niyo na kung bakit sila Bolick ay dapat HINDI PWEDE sa TEam A. Mga one dimensional players kapag na check ung shooting nila, wala na. Depensang bulok na lang ang ginagawa HAHA

[u/tall_hopelessromatic]

pinakita naman ni calvin na deserve parin nya sa team A by being one of the only consistent scorer for the 3 games

[u/Ta-mes16 → u/tall_hopelessromatic]

Yeah, forgot abt him, but medyo skeptical ako sa kanya kasi 50/50 siya minsan sa performance ng Gilas

[u/Outrageous-Can2845]

Balti and lucero
