Sayang mawawala na karamihan sa kanila papunta sa PBA, sana makapasok na sa nat’l team sina Chris Banchero at Junmar Fajardo
More power Gilas ! Good Luck we BELIEVE ! hope next time we will get 7 foot Greg Slaughter in the line up so we will have twin towers together with douhtit, and the fast Jason Castro at point guard, I wonder what happened to Gabe Norwood he also plays like Kelly williams…
