Sakto ka walay problema pero kung nakita sa mga scout sa NBA ang potential nya why not dili iapil sa PG, it means mas dako ni sya ug potential kay kung kana ato point guard pang NBA caliber pana cguro daghan na mioffer ana nila sa NBA. Kung makita nato sa PBA kana mga import nga dominant kaayo modula mga bench na uban sa NBA.

Unsaon man pag kita if wa mo try out?hehehe, kutob ra na sa potential bro. Ang ila gipangita karon kay bigman so kung manguha sila ug PG naay daghan sa Pinas. Bisag di pana makuha sa NBA D League sure ko mgpa Draft sa PBA kung maayo jud na siya....

Rosales is continuing to prepare himself for the NBA's Developmental League draft, which takes place later this year. Now with his shooting hand fully healed, he will be participating in a pro summer basketball league in Los Angeles this month, which has produced many NBA stars.

Mao na iya gibuhat run brod. So paabot lang ta unsay result ani kay invited man sya. I hope dili parehas ni Japeth Aguilar ang result. I think maabot na sa PBA if dili sya successful sa NBA, dream sa mga basketball players nga maabot sa NBA.

Douthit is expected to be replaced by another naturalized BIG man. So it's likely not the same team will compete in the world championship in Spain.

'Same Gilas team to Spain' - Chot

kung point guard lang di ma left behind ang pinas. We need a durable and consistent big man that can both defend and have offense.

[psychologic]

ahhmmm ipa train nalang atong big man like jun mar n greg slaughter,.

[Rakizta]

i hope douthit will still be the one in spain . getting another one right now would only disrupt the teams chemistry

Because the FIBA-Asia Championships will not be linked to the Olympics or World Cup, the motivation for teams to win the crown is prestige or bragging rights as in the case of the Asian Games. So lahi na ang qualifying tournament.

More on Gilas in a new Fiba Asia

CHINESE Taipei boots out mainland Goliath China from the championship round. South Korea humbles two-time third placer Qatar. On the wings of a boisterous crowd inspired by fun and country, the Philippines surges into the finals against Iran.
Welcome to the Fiba Asia universe, where the planets are realigning at the speed of light.
The Chinese and the Iranians, alternating champions in recent years, were expected once more to duel for control of the Fiba Asia galaxy during the tournament’s 27th staging at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City recently.
Brave new worlds, however, emerged, making orbits tougher to travel. With the international federation planning to add Oceania megastars Australia and New Zealand to the zonals via a revised calendar, expect Fiba Asia’s cosmos to be in total disarray come 2019.
The Fiba (French acronym for International Basketball Federation) plans to move the next World Cup from 2018 to 2019 after the 2014 Spain edition next year, to avoid being gobbled up by football’s own World Cup.
Since qualifying into the 2019 championship would be highly improbable, the Filipinos, by virtue of their runner-up finish to the Iranians this year, would more than relish playing at the Worlds come 2014.
PH, riding on the starship Gilas Pilipinas, with its penchant for long bombs and a gift of speed, will go to Madrid after an absence of 35 years at a world championship.
Victory would have been sweeter had we outsmarted mighty Iran for the gold medal.
But it is always tough chasing history.
Champion last in 1985, PH tried and gallantly failed to nail its sixth Asian title in what could have been a throwback to our glory years, when the tourney was still called the Asian Basketball Confederation championship.
A hopeful, basketball-crazed nation followed the team’s fantastic journey. Gilas PH and its exploits proved more than enough to keep the national psyche almost worry-free for 11 days that went by in a flash.
Even President P-Noy and Veep Jojo Binay sought relief from executive stress, coming to the title game and joining the home crowd and its rollicking chants, banging drums and waving flags.
Gilas gave the Hoopster-in-Chief, his deputy and fans of all stripes nonstop thrill, until Iran’s behemoths led by NBA veteran Hamed Hadadi breathed flesh and blood to a truism.
In basketball, the good big men will always beat the good little men.
Pacing the sidelines or gesturing with displeasure over dubious oncourt whistles, Gilas coach Chot Reyes at times buried his head in his hands.
With his slotman Marcus Douthit in street clothes due to injury, Reyes kept on wheeling and dealing with alternate and makeshift centers to no avail.
Into the highlands of his mind Reyes went, perhaps imploring the basketball gods to bring him men to match Iran’s mountains.
