Kung napansin nyo bakit parang may awkward cuts in the middle of the video, it’s because of copyright. FIBA is very strict when it comes to those so I had to trim out the videos in order to not get copyrighted guys 😅

[@WilfredoLalata-fk1ji]

SOTTO C 7'2 FAJARDO C 6'10 EDU PF 6'10 TAMAYO PF 6'7 MALONZO SF 6'6 BROWNLEE SF 6'6 (NP) QUIAMBAO 6'5 SF OFTANA 6'5 SF RAMOS 6'4 SG ABANDO 6'2 SG PEREZ 6'2 PG THOMPSON 6'2 PG STARTING FIVE: SOTTO EDU JB RAMOS THOMPSON 2ND UNIT: FAJARDO MALONZO QUIAMBAO OFTANA PEREZ RESERVE ABANDO TAMAYO Si KQ kaya nman nya mag PG. Syempre Mas better kng gagawin ni coach tim na 16 man pool, instead mag stick sa 12 man roster nya. Wala sa original roster si Abando. So kng 12 players na yan, Add pa sina Newsome Heading Abarrientos Amos or Baltazar Kahit papano papalag tayo sa Georgia tska sa Brazil or Cameroon. 50/50 sa Montenegro, Slim chance sa Latvia if maglaro si Porzingis. Tapos heto coaching staff ng gilas: Head coach: Tim Cone Assistant coaches: Coach jong Coach gallent Coach Del Rosario Player Development coach: Jimmy Alapag

[@raynobarte8364]

I'll still pick the initial 12 by coach Tim Cone. Guards: Scottie - for the hustle and the familiarity of the system. He did well last game as the floor general against Chinese Taipei with 9 ast. Newsome - this guy is the best defender the PH team can get. He got that Norwood type of defense and he is also can be the backup PG. Perez - CJ will be the that instant offense off the bench Ramos - the most versatile guard in Gilas, he is the most consistent player with his defense, playmaking and scoring Wings: Oftana - we need his shooting and size as a wing Malonzo - we need his athleticism that can matchup some athletic wings of the opponents KQ - can be the X factor of this team like what he did in Team SGA. Can shoot, has the energy and a great passer. Tamayo - stretch 4 with amazing footwork at the post Brownlee - the NP, can do a little bit of everything Bigs: Sotto - I think this is the time we will witness Kai's game as he becomes one of the main man in the triangle offense Edu - the defense and rebounding this guy brings is so vital for this team in order to win Fajardo - we need JMF to have some minutes to dominate inside and bang bodies for the bigs of the opponent. Reserved: Heading - if ever we need some shooting he is the perfect guy Abando - if he recovers from the injury he is the best replacement if anything happens for the guards and wings Baltazar - the best replacement for our bigs, can shoot and can play inside

[@markalicante3309]

Same tayo ng dream lineup bro stck muna sa ngayon para sa chemistry at hndi stressed sa ibang ex. Ng 25players sa dami iilan lng nmn makakalaro apektado tlga yung players kasi mag eexpect yung nasa choices makakalaro sila

[@NicoRocha]

Solid bro!

[@villetriosa8]

Mason Amos- Youngest in the team. consistent outside scoring, can shoot almost everywhere! he's a young RDO, a definition of a modern bigman, he was also coached by Chot and Tim cone, he was part of the team with Brownlee last fiba world cup asian qualifiers, and was a part of sea games gilas lineup last year. so the chemistry with the current lineup of gilas will not be an issue. 18 yrs old Mason Amos is BETTER than 18 yrs old Tamayo, Quiambao, and Sotto.

[@irldeancobias3196]

what do you think of Ray Parks Jr. in place of Tamayo? I really like his shooting, versatility and length. he is also a better defender IMO against athletic wings in the OQT. he can be a POA defender and a point forward if need be. plus he has more experience.

[@NicoRocha]

Nice selections but I think Gilas still needs Junmar, specially for Georgia who likes post play underneath. Kailangan natin ng muscles sa ilalim. Maganda kung kayang maconsider ng SBP si Balti pangdagdag din sa size na may shooting outside. From Coach Tim line-up siguro si CJ nalang ang puedeng alisin.

Sakaling sasali sa nba ang team latvia e tiyak na marami din silang matatalo dun, basehan ko ay nung tinalo ng lithuania ang usa na all nba team at magagaling na coach ang pwersa nila sa world cup 2023, pero yung lithuania na tumalo sa usa ay tinambakan lng naman ng latvia ito. Kaya laking pagkakataon na natapat sila satin para siguradong mas malaking experience na makukuha ng gilas.

@@jeypeemacapinig1093I dont know Jeypee. That's a really tough question. As of now kasi, he's considered a naturalized player diba. The SBP will have to go through a really long process once again with the FIBA Committee to have Ange reclassified as a local. It would take a lot of time and resources to have that done that's why I feel like that's not a main priority of theirs as of the moment.

@@giosantos752Ohhh that's a lot of guys that you proposed. What I can tell you is that CTC will not be able to manage that many guys before the OQT. He wants to keep his pool as small as possible. Although, since this is a 4 year plan, we might be able to see some of those players in the coming years!

[@4yearsago343]

Tight defense ang dapat na gawin ng gilas players diyan sa Latvia players katulad ng ginawa nila sa Hong Kong para hindi rin mka-initiate ng mga pasa nila at maagaw ang bola

[@NicoRocha]

Yep! Dapat consistent close outs rin sa mga shooters ng Latvia :)

[@sadbuttrue3311]

Switch defense

[@efrenrendon4467]

Sa palagay ko mahihirapan sila sa European team,,,, Kasi bukod sa mabibilis sila, malalaki pa? Samantalang satin mga kampag gumalaw at sa meron Silang winning mentality kaya mahirap tayong manalo sa kanila,,,, maliban nga lng Kung sasabihing bilog Ang bola mentality!!!😅😅😅

Si CJ lang palitan, ball hog eh. Add Tolentino or Bolick. Surprised wala si Newsome sa proposed line up mo, and sya yung defensive stopper natin. Flashy lang si Abando, pero kulang sa height, di ko sya kukunin. Balti? Laro muna sya sa PBA. Kouame or Philipps na lang ako.

[@kunarmakun793]

ill pick JMF over balti, balti can be JMFs back up if hes not available .. you got it the other around, KAI & EDU both are young! but i think JMF is still the best iso post player in the philippines! he wasnt given the chance, the respect, the confidence in the past .. ISO POST JMF can dominate even at the european level! and it has been proven in the previous world cup where he was one of the top scorers of gilas .. i believe with CTCs system! JMF can flourish & can finally show, and prove the world that he is, JMF! arguably the GOAT OF PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL .. balti over JMF😅

[@johnnycanz-hv1hu]

I believe JMF in the post Pero sa shot blocker hindi cya kagalingan as shot blocker KC medyo mabagal at maiksi LNG tumalon. Yes matibay sa ilalim KC malaki katawan.

[@johnmicheal7087]

Much better Balti and Junmar on the same line up dahil matatangkad yung makakalaban ng Gilas sa OQT

[@FallenPriest11]

Mas magaling pa si newsome na defender kesa kay abando.

[@NicoRocha]

Debatable for sure but if kinuha ni CTC si Newsome for OQT, then no problem at all 💪🏽

[@athenstar10]

What do both of these teams lack? Speed. -Sabi nga minimize yung time for preparation. Kahit gusto ko si Abando, kaso sino tatanggalin mo? -We still need a hefty guy look Fajardo sa loob sa loob. Sadly, wala na yung Ethan Kirkness na pwede sana. -With Malonzo's issue, baka maging questionable ang pagsali niya sa OQT. It may open one more spot. I think the other obvious option is Japeth ulit,lol (kamot ulo nanaman nyan si japeth)😅 If we can't replace anyone sa guards, we increase the height of SF. Malabo si Balti jan, ayaw ni CTC ng pakipot. Kai, Fajardo, Japeth can be interchanged as 4 and 5. In this way, pwede natin gamitin si AJ as 3 and 4 like Tamayo at Japeth ulit. AJ started out as a wing kaya comportable sya dun. Ang sakin lang eh, yan ang pinaka plausible.

[@louiejayortego8078]

Fajardo over baltazar
