Next Smart Gilas Team?
Marcus Douthit
After the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship in Wuhan, China which will be held in September 15-25, 2011 (2012 London Olympics Qualifier), the core of the Smart Gilas National Basketball Team will have a revamp since most players have applied for the PBA Rookie Draft and will surely be top picks.
The Smart Gilas program has been extended until the 2013 FIBA-Asia Championship which the top three teams will qualify for the 2014 FIBA World Championship.
Marcus Douthit and Chris Tiu will lead the new Smart Gilas Team along with Greg Slaughter and Aldrech Ramos. Other names have popped up on the list of Smart Gilas players like Kiefer Ravena, Bobby Ray Parks and more collegiate players.
Who do you think should be included in the next Smart Gilas Team?

i want smart gilas roster to be like this…
marcus douthit (c)6’10
greg slaughter (c)7’0
junmar fajardo (pf)6’10
japeth aguilar (pf)6’10
kelly williams (sf)6’7
sonny thoss (sf)6’7
cliff hodge (sf)6’6
chris ellis (sg)6’4
bobby parks jr.(sg)6’4
marcio lassiter(sg)6’4
chris tiu (pg)5’11
jv casio (pg)5’11
starter
marcus douthit(c)
japeth aguilar(pf)
kelly williams(sf)
chris ellis (sg)
jv casio (pg)
a great roster height is not problem anymore with this roster
BTW
I’ve watch Junmar Fajardo and Bobby Parks Jr. Fajardo may substitute Slaugther as he got better lateral movements. These guys are good too. Ravena is short and is not a natural point guard.
Cyrus Baguio, Miller, Alapag, Caguiao, Norwood, Williams and Raymundo has shown their skills even in international competetion. Plus they are reliable shooters. Unlike Yap, Lee, Devance and de Ocampo who’re a bit slow for FIBA. Caguiao and Seigle may be old but their experience will give stability to the team. While new breeds like Lutz, David Mercado and Washington are the most consistent player in the PBA. So with this line up and with good coaching staff plus proper training and conditioning 2013 Smart Gilas will go a long way. Good luck to you guys!!
