Not many saw Robert Bolick making the final 12 roster of Gilas Pilipinas for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China.

But due to circumstances beyond the national team’s control, like injuries to two of the country’s finest sharpshooters in Marcio Lassiter and Matthew Wright, Bolick was given passage to the final line-up.
