I think team philippines should start hiring scouts or something to keep an eye on filipino americans they can bring over before they get too old (because of that stupid new fiba rule). Hiring Spoelstra would be the goods but something tells me that if they could've recruited him to coach or run a program over there they would've by now?

An active NBA head coach isn't going to take over a national team program for the long-term.

Two tough losses for the PI....Can anyone point me in the direction on where I can grab some of that PI FIBA gear??? I know there was a website based in the Philippines, but I can't find it and I'm also wondering if there are any other places????

We need Drayday, Javale, and any other tall athletic centers to impregnate as many filipino women so in 18 years the PI squad will look formidable with a decent coach

When they came here to play those exhibitions during the lockout, reports were they also had a chance to tour the city and visit boracay, etc. My friends and I all joked that there's gonna be a bunch of 6' 9" ballers around in 2028

It's gotta be a well rounded group..need height and taller PGs. Keep having the exhibitions and hosted after parties.

Very underrated passer. I can see that. I really can't remember Miller in regards to rim protection though. I know he was solid in post defense, but he was a good rim protector?

I definitely see a bit of Miller in Dieng.Senegalese Brad Miller.

He did work against the Kings, twice towards the end of the season. Had a very unique set of big man skills plus the shot blocking/disruption ability.

i see Dieng as a much better rim protector and rebounder than Miller ever was. Also more athltetic. And Miller a better passer with a better shot. For now at least.

Yep this eligibility Rule is just recent. Like 2011 I think. Other countries were so rampant in acquiring Africans to become their citizen that alarmed FIBA. Now, the Half-Foreign Half-Local guys must be discovered at a very young age so they can acquire a passport for their choice country before 16. Other foreigners with local bloods who were able to suit up in a major FIBA event before this rule was made were exempted. (eg. Alapag, Lassiter, Lutz, Slaughter, etc.) I'm not only speaking for the Philippines though.
