just being honest… that kid Paras, together with Passumal and /vosoros, is better left at home to further hone their craft. Paras in particular looked always lost, committing stupid passing errors after stupid passing errors — and looking like he really do not belong in this Gilas Team. Let him mature. Let him learn. Let him…..Do not be a SORE EYES IN THE TEAM!
