Next Smart Gilas Team?
Marcus Douthit
After the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship in Wuhan, China which will be held in September 15-25, 2011 (2012 London Olympics Qualifier), the core of the Smart Gilas National Basketball Team will have a revamp since most players have applied for the PBA Rookie Draft and will surely be top picks.
The Smart Gilas program has been extended until the 2013 FIBA-Asia Championship which the top three teams will qualify for the 2014 FIBA World Championship.
Marcus Douthit and Chris Tiu will lead the new Smart Gilas Team along with Greg Slaughter and Aldrech Ramos. Other names have popped up on the list of Smart Gilas players like Kiefer Ravena, Bobby Ray Parks and more collegiate players.
Who do you think should be included in the next Smart Gilas Team?
My depth chart
Starters-
Center- Marcus Douthit
Powerforward- Japeth Aguilar
Small Forward- Kelly williams
Shooting guard – Chris Lutz
Point guard – JV casio/ Gabe Norwood
Sixth man – Chris Tiu
Backups-
Center – Greg Slaughter (will improve)
Power Forward – Ranidel Deocampo
Small forward – Mac Baracel
Shooting guard – Marco lassiter
Point guard – Jimmy alapag
I think everyone has forgot about Chris Banchero and Norwood. Banchero has NBA talent and people are sleepin on him bc he was hurt this yr, trust me, he could be focal point for sure. Norwood can play, he’s a force out there. If you get a naturalized player or 2, that could help. There also a BIG time guard who plays at Shoreline College in Washington that is a sleeper as well.
we are only allowed 1 naturalized player, we already have douthit
banchero is filipino-american…
congress should pass a law mandating any player or a school to release their potential players if needed, and failure to do so is punishable by law if chosen to play in any discipline not only for basketball to avoid the case j fajardo of uc
not only fajardo but look at the u-16 team now without babilonia, vito, tongco, tolentino
i want kiefer ravena!!!!
maganda kung mas madaming fil-am or fil-european na players para hindi talo sa height at galing ang pinas
i think the gilas 2.0 will mostly be PBA players since the PBA teams already agreed that they will loaned their players for our NT.
this is the players that i want to be on our NT:
C – Marcus Douthit
Greg Slaughter (he must improved his post-up game)
Sonny Thoss (possible addition at 6’8)
PF – Jay Washington (hope he will be healthy again)
Kelly Williams
SF – Japeth Aguilar
Ranidel de Ocampo
Kerby Raymundo
SG – Ray Parks, Jr.
Alex Nuyles
Chris Lutz
Marcio Lassiter
Aldrech Ramos (he should be train to become an explosive shooting guard. he already had the height(6’6) and the shooting. he only lacks the speed and penetration.)
PG – Chris Tiu
Paul Lee
Sol Mercado
Calvin Abueva
Gabe Norwood
I dont include Keifer Ravena on my list because he is undersized esp in international games. And we all know that he is not a pure PG. he is too short for SG position even at PG position.
