Smart Gilas coach Rajko Toroman confirmed that Smart Gilas Pilipinas will not play in the upcoming PBA Governors Cup starting June 2011. Smart Gilas will join the Jones Cup in August.

Its a very good line up of smart gilas if Wiliams, Taulaba, Hontiveros, and Alapag is included in the line up because as I see, the team still needs shooter: catch and shoot like hontiveros and wiliams for rebounder. Alapag is also a deadly shooter from the outside can be alternate with Casio. Baroca is still good especially in the defense. So far its good show up in the PBA, I know that if the goal is for championship pwedi magawa ng smart gilas kaya lang this is not their ultimate goal.
I hope Kelly is 100% come Fiba-Asia Championships,I would like to see washington finally playing for the RP team but I doubt that greedy San Miguel would release him to the national team.We need more forwards to help Douthit get the rebounds and defend the paint. Goodluck to the national team!!!

Jimmy Alapag and Greg Slaughter
line-up has remarkable size, defense, and potent 3 pt. shooting
Hindi pwede ang pa all star play ni James Yap, that’s it. Jay Washington is not a good candidate kasi my attitude and yan ang nkakasira ng chemistry.pwede c ryan reyes pero loaded n tau s guards nandyn n c chris tiu, prioritize ntn offense ksi we all know ok ang depensa ntn kht noon pa..
C’mon guys, it’s frustrating to see you lose without putting a valiant stand against these guys, all of you are better than them. The game against Iran is an ok loss because you put up a good fight but against qatar. Mac Baracael, Lassiter when you know your shots are not falling outside go inside with jumpers at the paint, it’s acceptable to see you miss in close range jumpers than miss all througout the game with 3 pointers. Marcio what happened with your slashing moves we badly need that since participating in PBA and an altercation with Caguioa happened your game was nowhere.Coach Toroman is looking for a go-to-guy like Kobe or Lebron, He will not find it here in the Philippines for some time, We need a guy who plays like Gabe Freeman who can shoot it at mid range and can go hard to the basket that’s it, The similarity of Professional and FIBA game is that when it’s crunch time you need players that can take charge.We’re lacking at Small forward, a guy who plays the mid range and can drive to the basket at times and most of all with a lot of heart. Go back to basics basic form of shooting like the days of Caidic. Baracael shots are not falling from outside bcoz He shoots it like at the mid range which should’nt be (releasing at the top of jump), 3 point should be shot more like continual jump and quick release like Alapag’s. Poor shooting hurts us a lot, Even when you have good plays if you cannot shoot it, it’s useless.
Mark Caguioa is a good candidate. Even though He did not deliver the last time with powerade, We need his style of play mid range shooting and drive to the basket shots. Maybe he’ll get some “luck” at the asian games. Caution to Toroman if He’ll use Caguioa, substitute Him whenevr He gets 2 to 3 turnovers at given period, Don’t make the mistake that Chot Reyes did when He used Him given the fact that He was wasting to much posessions.
