Problem with the current Philippine Team is everybody is hard pressed to win now. Where in if we have the free hand in choosing any Juan De La Cruz to represent the Nation. We can have a bigger chance of dominating ASIA, and atleast be respectable in the worlds...
Target is 3 years from now. Who would be your players to develop? And which player would you like them to model their game?
Here's mine:
The obvious big men-
Slaughter: Toughness, and Perimeter. Heck, I'll go with Chot and have him train his 3's. Mutombo or a poor mans Pau Gasol would be nice.
Fajardo: Quickness. This is tough but a 10-20% increase would be good enough. A 6'10 Danny I.
Japeth: Toughness and Outside shot. A poor mans Garnett.
Van Opstal: Everything. He's still young, loads of stuff to fill his cup. If Pingris is as tall as this kid, PINg can definitely play in the NBA. Ping is Rodman's mini me...
Wings and Back court -
Parks: 3 point shooting and ball handling. I feel he would be our go to guy ala Ginobili of Argentina.
Kobe Paras: Same with AVO. Focus on lateral defense. Pippen'ish would be too much to ask but feasible. A Trevor Ariza would not be bad...
Ganuelas: 3's and more ball handling. Would be nice to have a tall PG. Jay Jay Healtherbrand 2.0.
Kieffer: 3's. Our own version of Nate Robinson.
Now if we can train a shooter like Caidic, and A point guard like Alapag. Together with 3 yrs of being together. Using 1 system and playing international for atleast 8 games a year. Then the future looks bright for RP Basketball.
