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.

Dont know if Tautua is eligible to play,but certainly he would up ceiling and power in the 4 spot if he is, Pringles is a perfect fit for a combo guard, but i am sure he’s not eligible as well.. I hope the entire Gilas Organization would think about investing talent in the future by adding young prospects like Kobe Paras and some amateur standouts.
