G'day there,

Who would you select for an Asian All Star Team to take on the rest of the world?

See if you base your selection with multiple nationalities besides trying to create a team based on chemistry.

Centre: Yao Ming (China) - this is a must
Power Forward: Yaseen Ismail Mahmoud (Qatar) - I haven't checked on his progress but I still remember back in 1999 or so he was playing pretty well.
Small Forward: Fadi El Khatib (Lebanon) - this is also a must
Shooting Guard: Wei Liu (China) - any other suggestions
Point Guard: Jimmy Alapag (Philippines) - I know I am very biased to have him here and Tabuse Yuta of Japan should be here instead however, after the FIBA-Asia Championships you might agree with me.

Bench:
Point Guard: Tabuse Yuta (Japan) - we all know him
Power Forward: Asi Taulava (Philippines) - former NCAA Div II, used to play in the US Minor Leagues in the late 90s and was offered to play in the Argentinian Liga Nacional as an import. Currently, the most dominating player in the PBA.
Centre: Mengke Bateer (China) - we all know him
Centre: Joe Vogel (Lebanon) - former 1996 NBA Draft Pick and the inside anchor for the Lebanese NT
Shooting Guard: Kim Seung Hyun (South Korea) - Korea's Player of the Year
Shooting Guard: Michel Maadanli (Syria) - seems like a quality player in a quality league
Point/ Shooting Guard: Elie Mechantaf (Lebanon) - quality player for their national team and we all know that Lebanon is definitely in the top 3 in terms of NT in Asia.

Who would you select?
What do you think of my selection? Feel free to criticise or compliment.

Cheers. :)

G'day Malas,

Mate, there is a small problem with your selection with all due respect :)

Asi Taulava of the Philippines. He's a Centre in the PBA and in the International Game would most likely fit into a Power Forward role.

It's just that this bloke is very VERY BIG: 6-9 and 270lbs (just think of the body of Karl Malone).

Hence, he'll definitely can't catch up with the wing players.

Cheers.

HI guys;

I have 1 concern... Elie Mchantaf is not good as before. I believe there are better players than him

rp's danny seigle and jimmy alapag should be included here...


Saskibaloia
05-05-2005, 05:29 PM

As SuperSinan said Elie Mechantaf (Lebanon) is not good as before it's best to place the best player of the PBA Danny Seigle a former NCAA Div I for Wagner University to back up Fadi.
Cheers.

05-06-2005, 01:36 AM

i see fadi play, and he's good, but for me, i would rather put danny seigle on the starting forward... seigle has really improved a lot as seen in this conference. he's averaging 26 pts a game in an import conference with career highs of 43 pts which he did last month... =)


Saskibaloia
05-06-2005, 04:52 PM

Sorry jrb0yd but Fadi is the second best player in Asia.
Why?
He played in the Training Camp of the Clippers what more can you say.
Also, he is playing as an import in a league that's probably in the top 8 in Asia - Syria.
Averaged 25ppg in the Asian Championships in 2001 & 2003.
Cheers.


jrb0yd
05-07-2005, 07:29 AM

well, yeah i heard about that...he is really a good and explosive player... i have watched him play, but if i will compare him to seigle, i'll still go for danny seigle... i always watch him play in the pba... he's better than the danny seigle i've seen before...after his injury, he now got fresh legs and even improve his high leaping ability... but im pretty sure that in the asian championships, fadi would somehow score better than seigle because the main play of coach chot reyes is ball movement, not necessarily mismathches or isolations as compared to lebanon team, which rely mainly on the explosiveness of fadi el khatib...

kudos!

well, although I can't recognize most of the names listed, I have to point out that Wei Liu from china is a point guard.

Also maybe I am a little biased coz I am from east asia, but haven't china and korea been dominating the asian basketball for 20 years? Korea produce the best shooters. why can't I see them get credits?

Right now, Wang Zhizhi is still the best power forward in asia. Yi Jianliang is coming and getting close. Zhu Fangyu is another young talent, who starts small forward position for chinese national team. And he is expected to enter the NBA draft in 2006, along with Tang Zhengdong (he is a center).


sinobball
05-18-2005, 09:03 AM

Liu Wei does play PG but since he's 6-2, compared to the other Asian PGs (say Kim Seung-Hyun) he's probably 4-5 inches taller.

i agree i believe South Korea players should be credited and included in the asian all-star team... players like moon kyun en, seo jang hoon, kim joo sung, and bang... they are all great players. if u asked me my all star line-up would be

C: Yao Ming (china)
PF: Yi JianLIan (china)
SF: Fadi El khatib (Lebanon)
SG: Moon kyung en(S. KOrea)
PG: Yuta Tabuse (japan)
C:Seo Jang hoon (S. Korea)
PF: Kim Joo Sung (S. Korea)
SF: Danny Seigle ( Philippines)
SG: Zhu Fangyu (China)
PG: Jimmy Alapag ( Philippines)

hahaha sorry but im a little bit biased since im from east asia and if you think about it, east asian basketball national teams rule asian basketball tournaments today.

I have an idea why not make a west asia all-star and an east asia all-star! that would be great!
hahaha

east asia including china's yao ming, Yi jian Lian, Zhu fangyu S. Korea's Moon kyung en, Seo jang hoon, Bang sung yoon, Kim joo sung, Philippines' Danny Seigle, Jimmy Alapag Japan's Yuta tabuse, Maikeru Takahashi and Taiwan's Sean chen, and Tien Lei!

hahah just a suggestion! :D


bristron
05-19-2005, 08:21 AM

That sounds interesting.

My thinking..
East
PG YutaTabuse(Kim SeungHyun, LiuWei)
SG BangSungYoon(Sean Chen, Li Nan)
SF ZhuFangYu(Tien Lei, Michael Takahashi)
PF WangZhiZhi(KimJooSung,Yi Jianlian)
C YaoMing(Seo JangHoon, Menk Bateer)

Moon is too old, I like to play Bang in his spot.
I think Moon born to shoot, like Takehiko Orimo of Japan.
But at Moon's young play, he is not just shooter.
Dunker(he is very famour by his reverse dunk at his univ times) and Blocker..

West ( I put to RP to west. cuz I can only remeber few west asia's players)
PG Racela Olsen (Tony Fahed, Willie Miller)
SG Fadi El Khatib(Doud Doud, Michel Madanli)
SF Danny Seigle(Isakov Yevgeny, Al Maghribi ??)
PF Yaseen Mohmonud (Asi Taulava, Imam Mohammed)
C Josep Vogel (Jaber Darrehsar, Basheer Hashimi)

I put out Elie Mechantaf and put in Ghaleb Rida. cuz Elie is old.. It is hard to me choose starting SF/PF. And I couldn't see Magrabi for a while, I don't know he is still good. I want to put Asi Taulava as starter, but already I give 2 spot to RP.

If that kind of game held, I think, it will be fun.

Bristron's idea is a good one. Instead of forming an Asian All-Star team to fight a local NT, why not divide them into East vs. West ala NBA All-Star Weekend.

But you can't put the Philippines in the West, since technically we are in the Southeast. But since East Asia is already full of great players from China and Korea, we can divide the team into North vs. South instead, in which case the Philippines can join the South together with the Southwest nations.

hey, that was my idea....

anywayz, im not really sure that dividing the all-stars as north and south a good idea. coz i dont think the south can match up the north pretty well.

[jramoyo]

it seems that there is so much hype with Yuta Tabuse, is he really that good? does him appearing in the NBA for a short time prove his skill? i mean i believe that any top point guard from asia (say alapag, liu wei) can best his achievement if they devote their time in training camps in the NBA like Tabuse. im guessing the reason he got to where he's at now is because he was very persistent (important too)--but skill wise?

[sinobball]

I don't doubt that Tabuse is a good player indeed, but I see your points. Like I said in another thread "Best point guard?", who is better really depends on your needs. Tabuse made it to the NBA not entirely due to his marketing value or his persistence. He has one thing-- speed-- that many other PGs, many Asians included, lack. To make it to the NBA you need one "specialty" or "strength" that the GMs look for. Tabuse is very good at changing the tempo and can definitely be used as such. However, his shooting is mediocre at best and the size is always an issue. That's why he doesn't even get to start in the NBA D-league. I don't know about Alapag, but I don't believe Liu Wei would have made the NBA even if he tries as hard. However, as I said before, I don't think Tabuse can start for the Japanese National Team either. It's all about the system.

[jramoyo]

i am more of guessing here actually, i'm not very familiar on how Tabuse plays.

[asapa11]

maybe this would work...

eric menk (philippines

and many more

there could be a 3pt shoot out and slam dunk contest too

and many more

Hahaha just a thought…
Imagine what it would be like :)

[CHINA TEAM]

I DON'T THINK SO!
[MENK BATTER] Has been already going down hill, his strength already was unable to enter the national sports team, already by young YIJIANLIAN and
ZHANG SONG TAO (Beijing team height 2 meters 13 center, now American
ABA plays a ball game) surmounted! ! ! Your news some was obsolete(Smiles~HAHA:D )

[Phantim3dx]

Never got a chance to see him play, Yuta Tabuse that is, although he has come to Tulsa as the rest of my intl Japanese friends went and saw him play there in the NBDL. You guys are right he has one thing for him and that is speed. The system in Japan is all about up tempo fast break type of plays, I am not saying they dont do half court strategies, because I am sure they do. Reason for my statement here is because I play ball with the Japanese Student Association bball team here in ym university, and almost all of them tells me something to this matter, "it's different in Japan we play a faster game, fast break"..now of course this is coming all from former high schools tudents who played basketball, so I can only logically believe then that because they were developed in this way Yuta Tabuse is at his greatest in this type of situation...BUT that is it. Besides things Ive heard from my friends, if I ever get the chance I will upload a portion of my friend's basketball games(high school) to show you all their system to backup my thought on this. The way it looked to me was as soona s the ball was inbounded they took off running to the other end. I personally wish they would slow the pace down a bit more and empliment more half court offense instead of run and gun. Then again if that occured then it would put more competition to my RP natl team pg's and sg's, nad I dont want that happening...these spots are reserved fo the RP Team! ha!

Somewhere in thier I think I shouldve broken it down into at least 2 paragraphs.

Here's my take on starting for Asia(East Asia if you want me to be specific)

Center: Yao
P Fwd: Yi Jianlin/Asi Talueva
SF: Tien Lei (sp?)/Bang Sung Yoon
SG: Ritualo*
sG: Lui Wei*


*I would have 2 sg's on the court isntead of a pg and sg in pure form, these guys imho can dribble and shoot, a combo guard.

As always your thoughts/ suggestion whether they be negative/positive are always a welcome and encouraged. so post away!

[CHINA TEAM]

I THINGK THEY SHOULD BE---
Center: Yao(china)
P Fwd: Yi Jianlin/WANG ZHIZHI(CHINA)
SF: Yaseen Ismail Mahmoud (Qatar)
SG: Fadi El Khatib (Lebanon)
sG: Lui Wei(CHINA)/KIM SANG XUN(KOREA)

[j34dollarz]

i don't know much of the western asians.....
since a team can have 15 players with 3 on the reserve......

Starting 5
C= Yao Ming(chn)
PF= Asi Taulava (phil)
SF= Tien Lei (tai)
SG= Danny Seigle (phil)
PG= Liu Wei (chn)

C: Ha Seung Jin (kor)
PF: Yi Jianlian (chn)
SF: Fadi El-khatib (leb)
SG: Chen Hsin An (tai)
PG: Yuta Tabuse (jap)
C: Jaber Rouzbahani (iran)
PF: Tsun Wen Din (tai)
SF: Yaseem Ismail (qat)
SG: Takehiko Orimo (jap)
PG: Jayjay Helterbrand(phi)

i can't believe danny seigle don't get much respect in the international scene....he's the best player in rp today, better than taulava or alapag....
asi taulava, i put him as the starting pf, bec. he's a power player.....

[CHINA TEAM]

If looked at him in the CBA professional manner and the sluggish
performance, I thought everybody cannot think he can likely pass such to be fierce.......And Now Chinese team's big team members' competed extremely intensely,already do not need him...

[Phantim3dx]

ha seung jin as center. no offense or anything but he is a foul trouble waiting to happen, he'll probably yell out "ill sue! i'll sue!!" if he gets a technical...go ask sino or stuart abotut he "i'm suing" part

[kenx9]

Yao Ming is a must. He is considerably best Asian player in the world and might be the dominant center in the near future.

Wang Zhizhi must be included. He is China's second best, he recently played and he scored 26,25, 21 points for the chinese national team recently. I think Yi Jianlian is overrated, Wang would school him. These past few games show that Wang is better and more effective.

Fadi El-Khatib should be included.

[jramoyo]

depending on his willingness to play internationally, i think seigle should be included. he plays SF quite efficiently--he's big and strong. i'd say he can match-up against Fadi well. But i'd put him only second to Fadi as he is quite slow.

from RP, i think the guards are worth mentioning... also canaleta is improving alot... in about 2 years he can play at this level.

[jrb0yd]

people of asia should give respect to players of philippines especially to danny seigle... seigle is 6'6, can play the number 2 and 3 position and can kill u inside and out... he's having a dynamic season this year and even holds the record in pba for consecutive games with 20 or more pts, currently 17th consecuive games, still counting... i watched him last week when he pumped 23 of his 37pts in 2nd qtr, such a talented player... if compared to khtaib, i would say they both have advantages and disadvantages... but i tell u seigle is athletic than khatib... khatib i can say is more of a silent operator and a leader while seigle is a very explosive player and can kill u with his moves and dunks...

also a player to give credit is mark caguioa... although he's too small for an off guard, he's a proven scoring machine... in this season he scored 42 pts and 46 pts and a couple of 30+pts, so i guess we should give him credit for that... but i know there are a lot of gunners in asia for the number 2 position, players from china, korea etc...

kudos!

[Phantim3dx]

caguia maybe a scoring machine but @ his height he'd get taken to school easily on defense cuz he is a liability @ his height with a defender much taller than he is.

[asapa11]

although im not really a big fan of caguioa i disagree to what u just said. caguioa has proven to be very physical and knows how to play mind games with his opponents. but again im not that sure. although i really am disappointed at caguioa's performance at the asian champions cup here in manila, wherein, several times, he sparked runs for our NT to catch up to our opponents, but then he'll suddenly commit turnovers and not be able to convert his shots which suddently makes us lose our run. I also noticed caguioa having bad days and good days. there will be days when he scores 40++ points, but then there are days wherein he just scores 6 points or less. i also hate when he still continues to force his shots during bad days.

also, i hate caguioa for not attending practices for our nt. it looks like he doesnt have the will to play for our nt.

as for danny seigle, i really like this guy. i bet he really is one of the best. but i still am not sure of how much he will match to fadi el khatib. in terms of athleticism: i dont think seigle is more athletic compared to khatib. khatib has more muscles and weighs more compared to seigle, khatib also has a good upper body strength and could take care of the physical defense applied to him. also, i believe that seigle's elevation or vertical leap is not that high. yes he could dunk the ball, but im not sure if he can really dunk it with authority in the faces of bigger bigmen. i remember him doing a two handed alley-oop dunk from kelly williams in one of our nt exhibition games, but it looked a bit awkard or "medyo pilit". plus, i dont see seigle do follow-up dunks that often.
i believe that seigle really is more of a small forward and shooting guard, bit as for khatib he could be a shooting guard small forward and a power forward.

who is taller btw? i remember watching the ABC allstar here in the Philippines in 2000, seigle looked taller by an inch or two compared to khatib, but they were both listed at 6-6. is seigle really 6-7? or is khatib really 6-5 or 6-4? they both were bald so there were no hair to cheat their heights. anyways if only menk was a bit quicker, maybe he would be the one who could match up against khatib.

in the end, i still believe that these two players still are good and may be evenly matched, but both may have different playing styles which may be the reason why they are hard to compare. seigle being the "finess" type of player while khatib being more of a "high flying, dare-devil" type of player.
btw, i have only seen khatib play during the abc all star 2000 (where he matched-up against seigle) and in asian champions cup 2005. also i have seen photos of him in fibaasia.net. so im still not sure how these two have matched up.

just sharing my thoughts. peace

[Phantim3dx]

asapa, its an all asian Team, right? so it would be logical then that the all star Asian team would compete against other "continental" teams from around the world, caguia(sp?) may have the skill on his good days to be a scoring machine, and in no way am I here to take anything away from the skills asian players have (hey im asian) but against other more bigger/taller/athletic teams from other parts of the world he would be a liability. im not even including the aspect of the mental part of the game which defenders talk and intimidate a player on the court to give themt he bad vibes and make them "force shots" as it seems caguia seems to do on certain days especially his bad days.

[asapa11]

oh yah! you've got a point.

i forgot it is an all asian team we r trying to form to go up against other continents. i was thinking of east asia vs west asia. sorry about that.

in that case, i agree that cagioua would be liability, and that there are many other players in asia who would prove to be more effective in terms of defense and height. cagioua as pg? i dont think so. who needs a scoring pg when you have an all-star team. i also dont believe that cagioua has the maturity, and skills to be a pg.

what about ritualo? i assume he may have the same case as of cagioua's. do you think he could play pg?

[jrb0yd]

Gud day dude!

good observation kabayan... i agree with some of ur thoughts... me too i'm frustrated to caguioa for not attending the practice of nt and also for doing a lot of excuses whenever there's an all star game for which he is always the starting shooting guard... there really must be some problem with his attitude... and caguioa has already proved that he can drive past bigger players, just for example in the Sydney kings series, he was defended by a player who is around 6’7 but still went to top his team with 27pts and even drew praises from that player who guarded him… even though caguioa is small at his position, he’s bulky which allows him to penetrate the basket easily… but of course he cannot do that at all times, that’s why there were times that he got bad games …

as for seigle and khtaib… they are really both different players… seigle being more of a scoring machine (in my opinion), and khatib being more of a do it all player, a team player actually but very effective… another thing that I notice is that when seigle dominates the game, we really witness how he takes over the game, just for example last week, I witnessed how he scored 23pts in 2nd qtr including a dunk towards the end of the half … on the other hand, when khatib scores, I hardly knew it, that’s why I call him a silent operator for u’ll never know that he already scored 20+pts in the game… but ur right, 1 of his advantage is his physique, which he uses effectively against defenders …

by the way, I think danny seigle still got high leaping ability because if you watch him, he got more rebounds now compared to his early years… when his shots are also challenged, you an see how long does he hangtime in the air, “bumibitin sa ere”… by the way, danny seigle just scored 5,000 pts in the pba, becoming the 53rd player to do so, and also his streak to number of consecutive games with 20 or more points are now at 18, still counting…

and i also agree that there are better players in asia at number 2 position...

kudos! Btw, its manny pacquiao’s fight again… so gudluck to him! and also is the us team which will play our nt this Monday already in town? Hopefully abc will cover the game live…

guys ,Vroman is for sure better than Jianlin ,watch the last games between Lebanon and China in Fiba asia...Vroman killed him under the basket ,also he was killing zhizhi .. Vroman is for sure better ,he was unstoppable ...

But vroman is not a lebanese

But vroman is not a lebanese

owned...

Don't be tooo smart man ... every country is allowed with one nutralized player !! and vroman is nutralized lebanese that is playing with the lebanese NT and he is a FIBA Asia player !! all NTs have nutralized players ! and off course vroman deserves to be in asia's all star team.. if not a starter at least between the 12

[leb-basket]

vroman is now lebanese under fiba rules and playing with our national team. So after all he is a part of asia.

I think iran, jordan, lebanon and china should have the biggest part of an asian national team.

from lebanon :

fadi el khatib
jackson vroman
rony fahed

from jordan:

rasheim wright
osama daghlas
zaid abbas

from iran:

samad nikha
hamed haddadi
aidin bahrami

china :
yao ming
yi jianlian
(i dt really know the rest of the players )

such a national team would be very scary!

Who's better, Tanguy Ngombo (33p today) or Samad Nikkah?
