Topic: Smart Gilas-FIBA Asia: FINAL 12 roster for YOU ?

[dragonking57]

SMART-Gilas Pilipinas national coach Chot Reyes has named his lineup that will go to battle in the FIBA Asia Championship in August.

Joining naturalized center Marcus Douthit on the team are Jayson Castro, Jimmy Alapag, Larry Fonacier, Ranidel De Ocampo, Ryan Reyes, Jared Dillinger, and Kelly Williams of three-time Philippine Cup champion Talk ‘N Text; Jeff Chan and Gabe Norwood of Rain or Shine; Gary David and Japeth Aguilar of GlobalPort; Marc Pingris of San Mig Coffee; Sonny Thoss of Alaska; LA Tenorio of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel; and rookie June Mar Fajardo of Petron.

Also named to the team is 7-foot NLEX center Greg Slaughter.

Answering questions about why certain players were not in the 17-man pool, Reyes echoed the statement of PBA chairman Robert Non who was quoted as saying “let's just focus on those who made it, lets not worry anymore about those who didn’t make it.”

Reyes: CUTTING HIS 17-MAN POOL TO 12 IS THE HARD PART.

Guys,lets help him.Your FINAL-12??

For me he should remove fonacier,chan,alapag (think hes old na), fajardo or slaughter. Complete line up na, gusto ko sana tangalin si pingris, kaso walang big man

[raberdaki]

get kelly out... di na siya gaanong nakakashoot sa mga mid range jumper niya pati free throw pct. niya di rin ganon ka impressive.... si arwind santos nalang sana kinuha ni chot pero mukhang malabo magpahiram ng players ang SMC sa MVP controlled na team

Fajardo based on his PBA play will be too slow at C in FIBA besides Slaughter got the lock on backup center need an athletic PF that can bang and get rebounds and putback he gotta be at 6'7 or taller.
