Posers using my name like 'PBA insider news' are frauds and fake news propagandists.

NBA champion Fil-Am guard Jordan Clarkson could've played in the Asian Games as a local due to the passport-only rule but his Knicks contract prohibits him from doing so. Due to its lack of ceiling, Gilas will undoubtedly need to play more uptempo especially against bigger teams.

His naturalization bill already lapsing into law and only needing an oath registered with the Bureau of Immigration (which will then issue a Certificate of Naturalization), Bennie Boatwright could've represented Gilas in the Asian Games if the proper agencies acted swiftly.

Aside from previously mentioned players (minus Juan GdL and Tiongson), Ahanmisi, Bates and Trollano are also included in the roster with an open spot for Brownlee in the event he shows up. This will be an all-PBA selection as the B.League and Kbl guys won't be joining the team.

It's unfortunate that Caelan Tiongson will be skipping the Asian Games due to personal reasons. The team will miss his services more than most realize as the 6'5 forward would've been the best defender on other teams' top wing scorers. That aside from being a deadly 3-pt shooter.

Rj Abarrientos, Justins Arana, Baltazar are expectedly shoo-ins for the Asian games squad and reportedly so are Babes Bolick, Sed Barefield, Zav Lucero. Juan GdL will of course be a shoo-in if he's playin with Adrian Nocum, Caelen Tiongson, Brandon Rosser likely to make the team.

During last night's presscon, Kai Sotto made mention of himself, Dwight, Juan, Kq, Tamayo, Edu as, rightfully so, the (present and) future of Gilas. We can safely add bigs Mike Phillips and Qmb to the list. It's vital that tall and athletic wing shooters be added to this core.

Dave Ildefonso is gonna go from taking basketball advice from Jason Kidd to Franco Atienza when he joins Converge next season. For him and the rest of the Fiberxers' sake however, there should already be a new set of assistant coaches when the next PBA season begins. It's unquestionably winning time for Converge when Dave makes the jump and they can't afford to have amateurish coaches on their bench anymore.

Unsurprisingly in the belief that Kai deserves to be in the NBA, Tim Cone vows to get in touch with his NBA contacts to give the 7'3 center a shot. Whether NBA teams share the same sentiment is another thing but nevertheless, one can only wish that Sotto forever plays for Gilas.

Juan (in only 17 minutes) and Dwight led the pack with 16 pts each. Kai (13 pts, 16 rebs) and Edu (8 pts, 8 rebs, 3 blks) were stabilizing forces in the paint. Scottie in 22 minutes - 0 pts (0/4 fts), 3 asts, 3 turnovers. Juan once again showed that he deserves a lot more playing time.
