note: posted below is my friend aying's thoughts on the smart gilas team. we had this conversation three weeks ago after the thrashing of the powerade team.
i believe that the smart gilas team has tremendous potential. It has the right coach and system. It has a strong core, solid twin tower combo in giles and japeth, playmaking and leadership by chris tiu, solid point guards in barroca and casio, and versatile role players in barracael and ababou. rabeh and two guys from cebu, 6’9 junmar fajardo and 6’11 george slaughter are also now part of the team. 6’4 fil-am chris lutz, one of the top us ncaa three pointers will join the team eventually. japeth can even play sf given the bigs we have, especially if former atenean gian chiu decide to play. chiu is now a us ncaa division 3 6’11 center. we have two more years before the Olympic qualifier. the big test next year to gauge our strength is the asian games.
(i hope yeng guiao won’t come up with lame excuses why smart gilas clinically dismantled a talent-laden powerade team. i can’t wait to watch smart gilas shine in the pba.)
