PBA na ulit... (continued)

[baludoy]

Maganda din dapat benefits at contrata sa national team para maka attract ng top talents. Lalaro pa rin naman sa PBA conference at international tourneys yung national team kaya di problema marketing at kitaan. Pero ewan ko wishful thinking talaga ganitong setup at malabo mangyari, haha

Iyan nga iyong model na ginamit sa 1st gilas batch nila chris tiu, andy barroca, jvee casio ,et al kaya nga ok lang sa kanila pumasok ng pba draft several years later than their batch mates.

The idea then was to get primo, fresh-from-college players and quarter & mold these kids under the wings of the great rajko toroman for several years. But bright minds were saying pros should be included in the nat'l team so that the country will be given a fighting chance in int'l competitions. And so this idea of sticking w/ a permanent youthful team w/ a feeder system from the collegiate ranks was eventually abandoned in favor of sending a bunch of pros w/c their mother teams (smc squads in particular) were always reluctant to release.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do
