Allein Maliksi In, Paul Lee out of Gilas Pool
Allein Maliksi will replace Paul Lee, who currently has a knee injury in the Gilas Pilipinas Player Pool as representative of Star Hotshots as announced by Coach Chot Reyes in the 1st day of the 3-day training camp of Gilas for the 2017 SEABA Championship this May.
The decision to replace Paul Lee was just decided in the morning of March 14 and Allein Maliksi is expected to join the team in Tagaytay late afternoon.
Paul Lee also missed his chance in playing for Gilas in 2015 due to an injury while still playing for Rain or Shine.
Allein Maliksi averaged 14.2 points and 39.34% shooting from the three-point line in the recent PBA Philippine Cup for Star Hotshots.
What are your thoughts on the inclusion of Allein Maliksi in the Gilas pool?
Better. Lee is no longer needed at the point with Romeo and Castro there. Allen will have the chance to play 2 spot together with Belo and Wright. Suggested composition of the team will be Center=2, Power Forward=2 Shooting Forward=3, Off Guard = 2, point guard=2 plus another who can play 5 and 4 spot. That makes it…. Blatche, Fajardo; Rosario,Almazan;Belo,Wright, Castro, Romeo and Aguilar. The 3 other spots is up for grab
