congrats to smart gilas 2 :) will this also be the same line-up they're gonna send for the world championship qualifiers?

any notable players from this us team that they beat?

[Lebron23]

Kelly Williams, Ryan Reyes, Jared Dillinger will be added to the team.

I honestly like Dillinger. I really hope he has a breakout season and also does well in Gilas because I think he could well be the most complete player right now. I think he definitely has the physical attributes, athleticism, and skills to dominate the league.

I heard a rumor that Jared Dillinger will be traded to Air 21 Express.

I haven't watched a lot of PBA lately (before the break) but I honestly think Japeth's not good enough to play in the league AS HE IS NOW. He has some upside, but right now, I don't think he's anything except big.

[Lebron23]

Japeth is very athletic, but he has a low basketball IQ. I wish him luck in the US. Playing in the NBDL will make him a much tougher player. He was benched by Reyes because he has an attitude problem.

Exactly. He seems to me, essentially, a Filipino Javale McGee with a decent jumpshot. And I heard about that too. I heard playing in the States for college kinda blew his head up. :\

I cannot wait to see Calvin Abueva in the PBA.
