Ngl it makes you think if Tim Cone lead the World Cup and won at least 2 games, meron cguro tau chances in making to the NBA. It was the perfect time sana and before the world cup they had an time to prepare, ung situation nga ntn today, we have limited time but our players still manages to deliver. Anyways, i see it happening nmn because we are headed to the right direction, cguro there are things lng na we had to fix sa mga basketball leagues ntn dito to make the process faster
He thrives even off-ball, which is something our players have to do better once the ball leaves their hands. He can actually hang with players five or six inches taller than him on defense, and he can adjust to the quicker speed of the game. Of course his profile got a boost because of international play. Once the Memphis roster gets back to full health, he will see more time in the G-League.
Also his great performance during the Paris Olympics, caught the eye of NBA scouts. Back then during the olypmics he was quick and had good offense despite his height..
I think one other reason B.League can do two imports is because they have **56 teams** from B.1 to B.3. There's many spots to give their locals a chance, and some extra to have world imports. Meanwhile PBA only has 12 teams. Slots are much more limited, with limited slots for Fil-foreigners as well. So for me, PBA should expand to at least 16, increase slots for Fil-foreigners (from 6 to maybe 10 or even do away with it), and then maybe do what they did before, an optional Asian import. That way, Filipinos can get to showcase themselves more here in the PBA and maybe the PBA can become a stepping stone for all Asians to the NBA.
Main reason I think why Chinese and Japanese players are getting breaks earlier than Filipinos is economics. China and Japan are bigger markets and their companies offer juicier opportunities for the NBA and for the businesses of the owners. The CBA is the most lucrative league outside of the NBA and the B.League is almost as lucrative. Their players are getting scouted more. Second reason is more playing exposure. There are high-stakes basketball games in Japan even in high school, and even though basketball is not their primary sport, it gets national coverage for the fans that do watch. Rui Hachimura was a back-to-back Inter-High champion before being invited to play in the US NCAA. As you correctly pointed out, Kawamura was invited to play pro in Japan at a young age because they have a club system similar to Europe. I agree with you that grassroots development is important, because we have an over-reliance on Fil-foreigns and naturalized players to do well in international competitions. We have too much reverence for NBA basketball. As for early development of players, the collusion between the UAAP/NCAA and the PBA must be broken. Better minds have racked their brains for solutions, but the resistance really comes from the sponsors.
I think the PBA must do what B.League and Euroleague is doing which is having youth teams in every PBA Team. May mga u17 u19 u21 na divisions each every PBA Team so young kids will have a chance to develop their skills. Just make sure lang na susuportahan ng kanilang mother team ang education nila through scholarship if these kids are still willing to finish their education. Technically, student athletes parin sila but instead playing for a HS/college team, sa PBA "Youth teams" na sila. If we have that, mas malakas ang chance na makakadevelop tayo ng talented players na pwedeng pang NBA in the future. So sa PBA na nakasalalay kung gusto nilang gawin or not ang suggestion ko hehe. Just my suggestion lang.
If you saw him play last 2017 U16 asia cup, alam mo possible talaga sya maging mainstay sa national team nila and pwede talaga mapansin ng NBA or Euro teams. I mean bukod sa laro laban sa gilas natin, ang ganda ng nilaro buong tournament. If hindi lang natin sila na RC Calimag nun, sila yung papasok sa U17 FIBA World cup and possible mas marami sana sa kanya nakapansin na US scout ng mas maaga. All the hype was focused on kai sotto & sa teammate niya na si tanaka but si yuki talaga yung matured na laro nun. Maliit lang talaga kaya siguro si tanaka at tominaga lang naka pag US NCAA.
Ung tanaka parang kobe paras version ng Japan walang nangyari sa career. Si tominaga naman kung dun sana sya sa highschool ni kawamura pumasok baka umayos pa depensa nya at baka nakapag nba din siya. Defensive minded coach ni kawamura nung highschool.
Malaking bagay to sa Asian homegrown players. Yuki played pro during 1st year college, pinili niya maglaro agad sa pro/Bleague. Sa PH buro sa collegiate ball ayaw paalisin, "utang na loob culture", at laro nang laro sa mga ligang labas *cough* KQ.
Grassroots talaga yan sa mga past u16 u18 anlakas na ng Japan kahit nung tinalo natin sila nung u16 sila pa favorites dun. Kaya ko nasasabing basura grassroots natin dahil asa lang naman tayo sa fil am na product ng ibang bansa like dwight, alapag, norwood, edu list goes on. Paano pag wala sila kangkungan pupulutin ang gilas. Uaap din sumisira sa devdlopment ng players natin ung ibang may offers sa d1 ncaa napupunta pa ng uaap. Sa Japan 8 ang d1 ncaa players nila ang target talaga nila lagi d1 para sa mga highschool prospects nila. Sa bleague 18 years old mga pro na like ung kakampi ni dwight ramos ngaun naglaro lang un sa fiba u18 this september. 18 years old highschool palang un sa atin.
Bata palang kasi kinukuha na sa national team nila kaya na eexpose sa international media. Kaya satin dapat pagnakitaan na ng potential ipasok na sa gilas para maexpose internationally tulad ni Gemao dapat kunin na ng Gilas.
Di rin naman kukunin yan kung di nag perform sa olympics at world cup. Di talaga gagamitin yan loaded na sila ng guards and 2 way contract lang sya. Gleague bagsak nya but still an nba player. Fact is kung nagperform si kai nung world cup bibigyan din yan ng exhibit 10 then probably 2 way contract.
@@kawaiipotatoes7888 if ikaw gm sino kukunin mo ung carlik jones o si kawamura? or kahit yung ibang players na mas nag perform nung olympics o world cup na wala pa sa nba?
😳NBA nanaman ang Japan! Wow ang galing ang galing ng Japan. Olympic na may mga NBA pa🤣di pa basketball sports sa Japan ha🤭Sobra galing may mga NBA JAPan, China, Iran Korea Wow talaga! Asan naman ang Pinoys nba?🤭puro usapang Pinoys UA-cam lang🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh puro ingay lang sa UA-cam Pinoys🤭😂😂😂kala ko ba nba draft na si KSotto sa ingay ng Pinoys UA-cam🤭Asan naman ang Pinoys NBA🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
What do you guys think is the main reason why Yuki is in the NBA?

Ano tingin mo chance ni RJ Abarrientos s NBA??
Also his great performance during the Paris Olympics, caught the eye of NBA scouts. Back then during the olypmics he was quick and had good offense despite his height..
Also he was never intimidated despite they were facing super teams
Yes!!

PBA teams need to start to treat their teams first as a club which is a subsidiary instead of marketing expense
Thanks FranLu as always bro!

Ah good point here! Nice history lesson as well! Daaaaang almost forgot about RC Calimag!

Hopefully things can change for the PH!
Yep. Minimal contribution KQ nung olympics, nangrecruit lang hahaha. Playing longer in the UAAP won't increase his ceiling much.
Yuki can play yun lang yun kita naman sa olympics... Kelangan saten magpapanalo sa international stage consistently para mapansin tayo ng husto....
Tama Jerome!

True!
Bigger deal talaga si kawamura para sa mga asians dahil normal asian height lang siya. Di tulad nila yao ming, hachimura even jeremy lin.
True! Mas nakakarelate tayo dito eh
marketing and pr, japan is a potential market and has the purchasing power, kanina nga dnp against Utah

@@AcesofFire23madaming magaling ang wala sa nba at pinipili na lang ang euroleague so sablay ang point na yan. Example mirotic, mike james etc.
Yuki is epitome of lack of height? Max other stats. IQ, passing, shooting, speed...
Yep sinabi ko yan... Watch the whole thing first haha
@@NicoRocha yesyesyes sir. Dev fundamentals at young age. Ginagawa kasi blueprint ang NBA players(na may naturally gifted genes)
I think Jimmy Alapag could have matched kawamura
