    I Think Stanley Pringle will be a good addition to the Gila Pool.
    He is agile, big and a good defender.
    My 12 man pool will be:
    PG – Castro, Romeo/Pringle
    SG – Clarkson, Abueva (can be 2 or 3)
    SF – Norwood, MGR
    PF – RDO, Kelly Williams or Pingris
    C – Blatche, Fajardo/Taulava

    worth mentioning:
    Thoss – best perimeter shooting center (as of now, in my opinion)
    Slaughter – we need a big man close enough to match haddadi’s size
    Peter Jun Simon – because of Field Goal Percentage, good defender too
    Ryan Reyes – Good defender, should be in the roster…
    Marcio Lassiter – Defender, Shooter
    Hugnatan – … ewan hehehe, parang pingris ang laro… pero more of a center ang galaw 😛
    Hodge – Hard worker like Norwood but prefers to be in the shaded lane to defend
    Tautuaa – Energy Player, Athletic, Defender. but needs to limit fouls…

    C – BLATCHE / FAJARDO / THOSS

    G – CLARKSON / HONTIVEROS / LASSITER
    PG – ROMEO / CASTRO /

    1st 5
    Jason Castro – Best PG in Asia nuff said
    Jordan Clarkson – NBA Veteran
    Gabe Norwood – Defense plus Athleticism
    Andray Blatche – NBA Veteran, Stretch 4
    Junmar Fajardo – Size, Rebounds

    2nd 5
    Terrence Romeo-Scoring Machine.
    Dondon Hontiveros-Defense/Outside Markers
    Calvin Abueva-Hustle/Rebounds/Energy
    Ranidel de Ocampo-Stretch 4
    Asi Taulava-Energy/Size/Leadership

    Wildcards
    Sonny Thoss – We need an additional big.. I pick thoss over Ping because Thoss can stretch the floor more plus better post moves than Ping
    Jimmy Alapag – This might be his last hoorah.. And those daggers in the FIBA world will still be needed by Gilas.

    PS
    Ganuelas-Rosser will get Clarkson’s spot if the latter is not eligible because of his length and athleticism
    Pingris will get Fajardo’s spot if he cannot recover in time from his injury for FIBA and that will make Asi our starting Center
    Tautuaa is not eligible to play because like Andray he is only a naturalized player as of FIBA rules
    Ray Parks should focus on his NBA dream and he can join Gilas with Kobe Paras in the near future 🙂

    1. Romeo very good in crucial isolation play i think
    2. Castro steady consistent guard.(alapag will give his place to castro)
    3. Abueva all around position off the beach spark
    4. Noorwod Proven internationally, One dunk on Hedadi pls.
    5. Hontiveros Not so super shooter now but can be use on cruicial ending.
    6. Pingris We need Heart
    7. Ranidel Reliable scorer on the team. Inside and outside.
    8. MGR Good defender, he might be the missing piece.
    9. Taulava Worth a filipino
    10. Fajardo Can our government force this man join the team?
    11. Blache I think he’ll be in a good condition once tournament starts
    12. Toss Good outside shooter. We need more heights

    Researve: Intal

    Rosario isnt ready yet he needs to make those 15 foot jumpshoot consistently. As for Ramos, He is a nice young man, He is not ready for this no offense. Alapag will give his place to other guard. He is a realistic man, thats whats nice about him aside from being a good shooter. David is not so young anymore. We need more defender like MGR.

    CLARKSON will play in the olympics for sure. (we will win the fiba asia)

    PG – Castro/Romeo
    SG – Clarkson/Hontiveros (1st Five if Clarkson will not play)
    SF – Norwood/Abueva
    PF – Ping/RDO
    C – Blatche/Taulava
    reserves – Intal/Thoss
    if clarkson cant play… MGR (utility player with height) will replace him.
    *M. tautuaa cant play together with Andray since he can only have the naturalized player spot.
    *this roster is the more realistic one. Fajardo will not definitely play and other ex-Gilas members (LA, Lee, Chan, Lassiter, Aguilar)
    *Slaughter have some issues about his eligibility too (not sure on this), so i cant add him.
    *PArks & Paras are the future of Phil. basketball together with Clarkson.
