They are too small sized. I've watched them play in the FIBA tourney, they will get eaten alive in Europe.

We have a very tall front court. Our players height without shoes fajardo 6'10" (6'11.25" in shoes), Greg Slaughter 6'11 5/8" (7'1" in shoes), Marcus Douhit 6"9.5" (6'11" in shoes), Japeth Aguilar 6'8" (6'9.25" in shoes).
Jayson Castro Williams is 5'10" (5'11.25" in shoes)
I dont even recall seeing farjardo or slaughter play? I remembered the center was Douthit while the PF was Aguilar or Pingris/ De Ocampo (Who are way undersized at 6'5). Their guards are even smaller. They jack up too many threes, they play a run n gun game well but dont see their defense being too good. They can dominate weaker asia competition but Europe no.

Slaughter and Fajardo are the 2 best centers in the PBA right now.

I'm white but i'd wear the shit out of one of those blue jerseys. Flip on flippers.
The big game for them is against Senegal. They have no chance against the other teams but they should be able to beat Senegal if they play well.
Having one victory in the WC is a lot better then going winless.

Should? Should? Should be able to beat Senegal?
Do you EVER STOP?
Senegal has a very athletic team and they play hard, crash the boards, and play tough defense. It would be a colossal upset if they beat Senegal.
Of course it could happen, but to say they SHOULD beat Senegal is just yet another example of how insanely out of control your trolling is.
[B]Senegal would have won the FIBA Americas tournament last summer.[/B]
Stop it. Just freaking STOP IT.

Philippines are a fast team, but their fastbreak offense will be negated by Senegal's athletic ability. The only guy I see with "black athleticism" would be Aguilar and maybe Alapag (a 5'9 guy who can dunk), but he's old.
Still, Senegal are the weakest team and it is the only probable team they have a chance of beating.

You under estimate the Gilas. They should beat Senegal if they play well. You're just lucky they are not in a group with weak a*%$ European teams like Ukraine or Finland who they should have been able to beat too.

There is no height depth
With Slaughter no out of the side there is just 3 players over 6'7''
Aguilar will have to play some mins at the SF spot as Norwood and/or Pingris lack the height at 6'5'' and 6'4'' respectively
Countries with players over 6'7'' in there group:
Puerto Rico - 6, Average Height 6'6''
Argentina - 8, Average Height 6'6''
Croatia - 8, Average Height 6'8''
Greece - 6, Average Height 6'8''
Senegal - 5, Average Height 6'5.5''
