Gilas Pilipinas Basketball

Bobby Ray Parks and Kiefer Ravena were included in the 24-man Gilas 5.0 Player Pool but both players will be unavailable for the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge this September in Iran.

Kiefer Ravena is currently undergoing specialized training in the US and had the chance to play in the Drew League.

Good work today with @DrewHanlen @RealDealBeal23 @_rayray_4 💯✔️#KiefTrying pic.twitter.com/MfQkPSpwRI

Bobby Ray Parks is set to fly to the US to continue his NBA dream and will join a couple of training camps.

Sending off @ray15parks as he leaves again going to the US to pursue the #NBADream! So encouraged by your faith and perseverance and insatiable desire to always go further and stronger. We're behind you all the way bro! #victorygroup #churchcommunity #spiritualfamily

Also, John Paul Erram of Blackwater who was also part of the Gilas 5.0 24-man Player Pool maybe out of the pool due to a knee injury.

Who do you think should be in the Final 12 for Gilas 5.0 in the FIBA Asia Challenge?

Good luck Kiefer Ravena and Bobby Ray Parks!
