Who do you think should be included in the Gilas 3.0 Player Pool?
Gilas Pilipinas Coach Tab Baldwin and his coaching staff (currently only Jimmy Alapag has been named as Assistant Coach) has a tough task of forming the new Gilas Pilipinas Team (called Gilas 3.0).
Tab Baldwin said that he will stick to the dribble-drive offense used by Chot Reyes but with additional plays from his experience. With this, who do you think are the PBA players who will thrive in the dribble-drive offense?
Updates: According to SBP, the composition of the Gilas Pilipinas player pool will be announced on Monday, August 3, after the 2015 FIBA 3×3 World Tour Manila which will be held on August 1 and 2.

Moala Tautua
All (including reserves), except Junmar, Slaughter, and Japeth Aguilar (and maybe Tautua), are good outside shooters, perimeter shooters and ball-handlers, which are a-must in international games. Despite that, Junmar, Slaughter, and Japeth Aguilar still have their power rebounding and perimeter shooting, much more if they can practice it including their outside shooting, becoming well-rounded players.
Talent-wise, this is the best that I can recommend.
