    This is the line-up that we need if we want to advance in FIBA tournaments. What we need are players with heart, length and speed. Players who are not scared and are aggressive in driving to the hoop despite big opponents and also shooters that will compliment the quick guards. We need guards that have a quick first step and break down any defense(remember JJ Barea of Dallas?). I hope all owners will lend their players since it is for the flag. We’re so sick and tired of the RP team not making it in big tournaments. TNX!

      KUNG C JAPETH AGUILAR MATURUAN MAG SG MAGING SURE BALL SA SA 3
      SURE KUKUNIN SA NBA YAN 6.10 MABILIS MATAAS TUMALON SHOOTING MERON NAMAN BINANGKO LANG HINDI SYA PWEDENG PF PAYAT SYA

        agree ako sa FF: Douthit, Aguilar (kaya nababangko kung napansin nyo natataranta pa pag powerhouse ang kalaban medyo nawawala sa ikot ng systema ni Torroman), Williams sa depensa at rebound, De Ocampo napatunayan nya na consistent sya sa International basketball: Jared Dillinger consistent sya nung Yeng Guioa team Pilipinas: Hontiveros pang Inernational ang laro inspiration at malaking sahod lang kailangan nito para magbalik loob sa national team: Ray Parks Height,skills and very coach-able can adapt to any system: Alapag subok na sa International basketball at buo ang loob pero tumatanda na

        yung mga iba hindi ako maka comment kasi hindi pa subok pang FIBA kaya nga suggestion ko sana palitan na ng PBA rules into FIBA rules para magkaalamanan tapos FIBA trained referees ang gamitin hindi yung mga pulpol referees natin sa PBA..
        kay James Yap naman oo aminado ako sobra galing nya sa PBA pero sa mga power house teams sa ASIA sobra sobra kaba nya (was never consistent in International basketball puro useless fouls pa)Si Gabe Norwood naman na sayang ang height at skills noong last PBA backed national team dahil he was never a factor but more of a liability because he probably was not confident and often lost sa coaching system kaya ayun pag closeup sa kanya ng camera natataranta sya na parang si SISA… Sol Mercado’s style is more suited sa pros unless he proves me wrong. kailangan natin ng backup kay douthit at 2 matitinding pure shooters for shooting guard..

        • nardski says:

          meron pa si Kerby Raymundo at Mic Pennisi noong last 2 PBA backed national team sila lang ang lumaban ng buo ang loob when almost everyone was choking and was being manhandled by Jordan, Iran, & company… nagulat nga ako eh nagpapakamatay sa rebound at depensa tapos yung mga ibang superstars na clutch shooters sa PBA hindi man lamang umalog sa ring yung mga tira nung crunch time

      • Duane Bishop says:

        HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Mas mamatay matay sa laro and Smart-Gilas ngayong kesa kay Jawo, mas mabibilis ang practice ng team ngayon. Cone, Guiao, Black were better coaches the Jawo. The reason why PBA didn’t make big improvements because of Jawo. Most basketball fans thought of the PBA was all about Jawo and Ginebra. PITY!!!

        • IDOL says:

    ang lalakas nyo mag-comment, sa playstation lang kasi kayo naglalaro ng basketball

  7. Kagila-gilalas!!! says:

    Ito lineup ko for the next Gilas, pero for sure may mga lalabas pang magagaling ng mga players from different basketball groups sa bansa.

    01. Marcus Douthit
    02. Japeth Aguilar
    03. Jay Washington
    04. Ranidel De Ocampo
    05. Bobby Ray Parks
    06. Greg Slaughter
    07. Marcio Lassiter
    08. Mac Baracael
    09. Arwind Santos
    10. Chris Lutz
    11. Sonny Thoss
    12. Kelly Williams

    Kung gusto talaga nila ng makakuha ng Championship or Gold Medals, dapat mag-invest ang sports commission sa mga players.
    Kumuha din sila ng mga quality players, tamang scouting lang yan at hindi palakasan ng backer at hindi pera-pera.

    Go Gilas.. sa next tournament!
