Good news? Bad news?
James Yap is out, together with Pingris, Cabagnot, Arwind Santos and Lassiter.
And the new addition to the roster: Jeff Chan, Sol Mercado, Casio, Dilinger and Baracael IN.
What can I say?
Bad News: I trully hope San Mig Corp will let Pingris play for the National team. I can let go of James Yap, Cabagnot, Santos and Lassiter, but not a defensive specialist as Pingris.
Good News: Athletic and Versatile player Dillinger was added to the roster. Watching him play at the PBA today, he has surely develop his shooting touch and hi is one of the few big guys who can dribble and penetrate. He is taller and much quicker than James Yap and is a dependable defensive player as well.
Another good addition is Sol Mercado. I will choose Sol over Cabagnot because of the height and built descrepancy. Sol is a good finisher can defend better with big guards from the opponent.
For the wing spot, I have to choose jeff Chan over Lassiter. This streak shooting guard will help the team spread the floor as he is a gunner for the three point area, complimenting the likes of larry Fonancier.
With young Casio and Baracael, no offense but they still are not for International Calliber (yet).
Arwind Santos can be replace by perimeter player like Jay Washington and since Pingris is out of the roster, I will choose Raymundo. Raymundo may not be playing the same as his last FIBA stint, but I believe, this trully blooded Filipino has a heart of a champion.
If Raymundo is not available, we can have Hatfield or Peek or even Taulava who can give bodies inside the paint.
Just my two cents
