Guiao: Rain or Shine weighing Pacquiao option | Inquirer Sports

maganda makita kapag drinaft ng ros si cong manny, kung masisigawan at curse out din siya ni cong yeng

baka magka-buhok si guiao sa sakit ng ulo na dadalhin ni pacman sa offensive at defensive sets niya kapag 'di makasunod :rofl01:

[ZENMasterTYL]

pano kaya yun pag di natuloy trade sa kia, coach ng kia si packy tapos player sya ng ros?

pag timeout, nasa sideline ng kia si packy, tapos pag ipapasok sya ni yeng, suot naman nya yung ros uniform nya

mali kasi PBA.. dapat pinayagan nila mag direct hire kahit 3 players ang KIA at Blackwater.. para maging competitive naman yung 2 team..

2014 PBA DISPERSAL DRAFT IMPRESSIONS: KIA KAMAO | Philippine Basketball Association

When the 2015 PBA regular season opens later this year, we will see three new teams take to the floor: the NLEX Road Warriors, Blackwater Sports, and Kia Motors.

Of these three, only NLEX has a relatively intact lineup after it bought the existing franchise of the Air21 Express. Blackwater and Kia, on the other hand, had to go through a dispersal draft to fill up its roster spots.

In this second of two parts, I will take a look at the dispersal draft picks of Kia and give my general impression.

First off, however, let’s be realistic. In the absence of the opportunity to directly hire from the PBA D-League, our expectations for both Blackwater and Kia this season are not exactly sky high. Still, there is something to say about choosing the right building blocks for the future.

Kia’s Dispersal Draft Picks:

Reil Cervantes – PF – 6’4 – 28 years old

Mike Burtscher – PF/C – 6’6 – 29 years old

Hans Thiele – PF/C – 6’5 – 30 years old

Alvin Padilla – SF – 6’3 – 26 years old

Jai Reyes – PG – 5’9 – 27 years old

Paul Sanga – G/F – 6’4 – 26 years old

Angelus Raymundo – F – 6’7- 27 years old

Eder Saldua – G – 6’4 – 27 years old

Nic Belasco – F/C – 6’6 – 40 years old

LA Revilla – PG – 5’8 – 24 years old

Joshua Webb – SF – 6’2 – 24 years old

Chad Alonzo – PF – 6’4 – 31 years old

Though there’s hardly any marquee name on this roster, it’s, at the very least, younger compared to what Blackwater put together. As a team looking to build a contender, starting with youth is a generally good move. Having said that, in terms of sheer talent, there isn’t much to rave about here. Cervantes is a feisty hybrid-forward who has a nice midrange game, but he’ll hardy strike fear into his foes. Burtscher and Thiele are barely serviceable bigs whose stats will get padded with additional playing time, but nobody should expect anything stratospheric from either guy. Belasco is an oldie who will teach the young ‘uns while getting ‘em checks. Not a bad deal at all for a 40-year old PBAer.

The backcourt and the wings are where things can potentially shine, though. Reyes and Sanga are potentially dead-eye shooters who can space the floor well while Revilla has the skill-set to be a solid pro playmaker. Hey, if Simon Atkins can put up solid numbers, then I’m sure Revilla can do the same, right?

Oh, and, of course, we all know nobody else is getting Manny Pacquiao or his cousin Rene in the Rookie Draft. Naturally, Kia will pick both guys. I cannot presume to know how either plays, but suffice to say that they will draw in the crowds before the losses pile up and give everyone a reality check.

FYI: Based on PBADraft.net, the projected rookie picks for Kia this year are (aside from the aforementioned Pacquiaos): Frank Golla, Dave Semerad, Philip Paniamogan, and Gab Banal. If we’re being brutally honest (and we should), then the reality is none of these guys really have any All-Star trajectory as of now. Golla can be a solid banger in the post, Paniamogan is streaky, while both Semerad and Banal are hybrid forwards in a league full of bigger-name hybrid forwards. Needless to say, it’ll be tough for these kids.

I don’t want to say Kia tanked in this dispersal draft. I mean, the draft was shallow to begin with, but I also cannot say Kia has built a potential winner because, well, come on, right? Manny will be the main draw here, and the team hasn’t exactly added anybody who can carry this team in an actual basketball game. This team will attract attention due to novelty, but it’ll have to do a lot more to be truly competitive.

Biggest catch siguro yung rene pacquiao. As per packy, he's 6'5", he can shoot 3s, rebound, & quick for his size.

Galing. Isama na sa gilas yan.....

I could be wrong thoug.

[chua_riwap]

Yun nga eh. Bilib si packy sa pinsan nya kahit bangko sa boracay rhum, & eventually left the dleague to play in the smaller visayan leagues.

magiging mavs ng PBA yang Kia. monTA Ellis si packy.

[chookchakchenes]

Very risky para gamitin number 2 pick para kay paki. Paano kung hindi kumagat kia sa trade at mag-antay na lang paki ng 1 year para makasign sa ibang team?

Ang pwede mang-asar eh purefoods kasi malayo na yung pick at malalim na din current lineup nila.

hmm kataka taka tong si Paul Lee.. 3 years maximum contract na ni offer nang RoS.. ayaw pa pumirma.. hmmm that means sa ibang teams may mga under the table pang nakukuha kaya gusto lumipat nito.. dapat pag ganyan na maximum na offer.. hindi na pwede lumipat.. or mag sit out sya nang 1 year kung ayaw nya pumirma..

kunin na lang nang RoS si Banchero.

[chua_riwap]

^ Ayaw nya kay kalbo.

[shadow]

I personally think there's nothing wrong Kung tangapin ni lee yun offer ng ibang teams with under the table, he deserved it. Saka baka Ito na yun last big contract niya. Strike while the iron is hot.

baka naiiklian sa 3 years.. baka gusto 5 years maximum.. he can't accept other teams' offer kasi maximum na nga ni offer nang RoS sa kanya.. what more can the other teams offer? eh bawal ang under the table DAW sa pba..

[_Qwerty_]
