-Japeth Aguilar
-LA Tenorio
-Paul Lee
-Jeff Chan
-Gabe Norwood

The players are allowed to attend practice once a week, every Monday starting November 2015.
And the PBA 3rd Conference will be moved after the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament on July 10, 2016 so that means more practice for Gilas Pilipinas.
Hindi pa yata sigurado makakapaglaro sa gilas sina Jordan Clarkson at Andray Blatche…
Sure na si Andray si Clarkson lang ang hindi sure kung papayagan sya ng LAKERS
Sana yung pagpayag ng PBA is hinde lang valid sa 2015 ha, baka pag dumating ng 2016 kung kelan qualifying malapit na, biglang may tampuhan ulet na magaganap. Please PBA officials, man up. Mahirap naman yung pinaaasa naten ang taong bayan, habang sila ang nagpapaunlad ng industriya ng basketball sa Pilipinas.
Andray “Big Dray” Blatche 6’11 Center/Forward
Japeth Aguilar 6’8 3/4 Power Forward (blocking and spacing)
Kobe Paras (6’6″) needs to hone skills first, so, go for Clarkson (6’5″)
Marcio Lassiter 6’2″ Shooting Guard (best shooter and good defender)
Jayson Castro-William 5’10” Point Guard (quickness and playmaking skills)
Terrence Romeo (5’10 1/2″) or Kevin Alas (6’0″) for Point Guard
Ray Parks Jr 6’3″ Shooting Guard (upgraded version of Abueva)
Gabe Norwood 6’5″ Guard/Forward (best wing defender)
Troy Rosario 6’7″ Power Forward (can run, rebound and shoot outside)
June Mar Fajardo 6’9 1/2″ Center (most dominant local player)
Kevin Ferrer 6’4″ Guard/Forward (young, athletic defender and shooter)
K. Williams 6’4 1/2 (toughness, he’s bulkier), or I. Sangalang 6’6 3/4″
Reserves:
Intal 6’4″ or Guevarra 6’2 1/2 (role players can run, cut and shoot 3s)
Moala Tautuaa 6’7″ Power Forward (in case Blatche gets injured)
– list contains the actual height of each players
– no Lee-Dalistan because he’s a bit slow and has no defense
– no Pingris or Abueva, we need to practice playing with more height
– Greg Slaughter is not eligible to play in FIBA as a Pinoy local
Ryan Reyes, Chris Lutz and Beau Belga should also be considered 🙂

Laban Pilipinas!
you cant make blatche as center when you can have JM fajardo or greg slaughter. the best way is to make blatche as PF with a combination of another tall guy like JM fajardo inside. that makes to utilize the hiegth and power
Bakit hindi kasama si dondon? Kailangan ko ng tamang sagot..respect
dapat pasuk si don don than lasiter
Alam naman nating lahat ang malaking contributions ng bata…defense at offense mayroon naman sya.
Blatche,fajardo,slaughter,castro,pingris,deOcampo,Norwood,aguilar,abueva,hontiveros,paras and clarkson…
Tenorio should replace by Cabagnot
My Gilas Dream team Blatche, Fajardo, Slaugter, Aguilar, Sangalang,Norwood, Clarkson, Lassiter, Abueva, De Ocampo, Castro,Lee…………Go to Rio 2016………
