Sonny thoss should step up. He always misses easy shots and layups. Buti pa si je
SONNY THOSS should step up. He always misses easy shots and layups. Buti pa si JAYR RETES nalang ang palaruin instead of thoss. Mas maganda ang pinapakita nya kesa kay thoss. At may outside shooting pa.
Si VILLANUEVA naman wala paring improvement. Binabad na sya sa games against uzbekistan at macau, pero wala parin offensively and defensively. Dapat na talaga syang tanggalin sa lineup ng gilas at palitan ng ibang player. For sure, papalitan na sya ni KELLY WILLIAMS sa next tournament.
Si GANUELAS naman maganda ang pinapakita. He proved na worth it sya sa lineup ng gilas. He’s a good back up point guard. He knows when to pass and when to shoot. Good rebounder pa.a
Overall, okay ang performance ng team pilipinas. Pero may dapat lang tayong iimprove para maging perfect ang team.
Need to improve:
BACK UP OF DOUTHIT- kailangan ni douthit ng solid back up. Someone should replace thoss to back up douthit. PF nga laro ni thoss minsan pag sabay sila ni douthit pinasok. Hindi sya center type. SANA makuha ng gilas si SLAUGHTER or FAJARDO. Kahit isa lang sakanila. Atleast may isa pa tayong tall defender kapag naka upo sa bench si douthit.
REPLACE VILLANUEVA- walang pinapakitang maganda si enrico. Kahit sa offensive end or defensive, wala. Kahit malapad sya, wala syang height to defend taller frontliners of other team. Sana palitan na sya ni KELLY WILLIAMS. Pwede rin si JAPETH AGUILAR, kung babalik na sya sa pinas.
HIT THE OPEN SHOTS- maraming open looks at open 3s na hindi natin napapasok. Lalo na sa game against lebanon at china. Sana sureball na next round. We have good shooters. We just need to deliver.
MAKE FREE THROWS- ang dami nating misses sa free throw line. Kahit mga good free throw shooters, nagmimiss. Prob din natin yan sa jones cup. Hanggang ngayon. Sana mag improve na free throw shooting natin.
Yan lang mga kailangan nating iimprove. Kapag na-improve natin yan, for sure champions na tayo, marami pang oras para mag improve, next year pa naman ang fiba asia championship eh. Dapat icontinue lang natin ang GOOD DEFENSE natin. Thumbs up ako dyan sa defense natin. Thats all.
ikaw kaya ang maglaro doon….!!!!
you cant back a 7 footer with a 6’7 power forward, toss thosss and enrico, put in slaughter, williams and arwin santos. we also need a back up for LA, alapag should be it given his experience in international competition.
Replace Thoss hinde mka talon sa rebound & Villanueva wala ginawa kundi manakit ng batang players sa FIBA. Maliit ang 6’7 & 6’5 as center. Get Aguilar n Fajardo.Sa China kahit bano yung two 7ft naka help sa rebound and block shots. impressive si Dilinger at 6’5 galing mag point guard ang bilis.
Bat ba gustong gusto nio si Slaughter and Aguilar? si Slaughter malakas lng un kasi UAAP lng nag lalaro.. siya lng matangakad dun.. si Aguilar nmn feeling NBA Aspirant si loko.. sa PBA nga di umubra..
Si Jared Dillinger grabeng addition sa line up.. All-in-one package.. mapasok lng sa line-up si Arwind or Kelly, great boost sa defensive line up nila..
