such a pity that Lassiter will just go into a worthless and crap team like Powerade
what if charles tiu becomes the Powerade head coach?Originally Posted by yogaflame

he might still change his mind since gilas has up its salary to 250k per month
I personally think maliksi will be drafted in the 1st round, maybe 10th pick. He has all the tools needed to play the 2 and 3,size,athleticism, and scoring prowess. Im high on him, i think he can be this years diamond in the rough.i think he's 25 maybe 26 yo, He reminds me of a young gary david who was with montana, im not sure what team that was.. He has upside, with all the physical tools he has, scoring prowess,great mid range game,underrated slashing game. I think he has a chance to be the next gary david if the all the right pieces fall into place. Well that's only my opinion,
who do you guys think would be this year's diamond in the rough?
But Maliksi needs to up his stamina though? that finals game in D-League in which in game one he was in and out of the playing court because of cramps..
In your last question.. Go for Lutz.. Good shooting stroke and a decent defender... but it really depends on what team will draft him and who's the coach..

True. But maybe there's a star in him and maybe he'll prove that he can be more than a role player (which is what he is with Gilas) so career-wise it could be a good thing.
Then again, i expect him to pull out of the draft. Further discussions on the draft prospect should be nipped for the moment as we don't know who's in or who's out
IF THERE IS NO BASKETBALL IN HEAVEN, I AM NOT GOING.

nah, if ever lassiter goes to powerade he'll get traded to one of the san miguel or mvp clubs in a couple years or conferences anyway. that's how it goes in the pba...powerade, air 21 and red bull are the farm systems of the upper echelon.
Maybe.
If you're right, he's more than welcome at Petron

Agree. Lassiter is a welcome addition to the Petron team. After trading Hontiveros, the 2 guard position of Petron is questionable. Yeo is a disappointment and Duncil is a bit grounded but a good defensive player. Lassiter, Petron wants you to be on the team.Maybe.

I think Maliksi is turning 23 yrs.old this year. Alaska might draft him in the 2nd round because he played under Coach Luigi Trillo in the PBA D-League.

@ lebron23 i think it adds up to maliksi's upside if he's 23yo, i thought he and ababou are about the same age. I don't want him to be drafted by alaska, imo alaska doesn't utilize it's young players, maybe air 21, meralco, petron or redbull, he could blossom. I think he's 6'4 or 6'3.. He could be good
@ potz
lol, maybe that's why maliksi always wear high socks to add heat to his calf muscles,even with cebu in smc liga, he suffers from cramps.
I'll go with lassiter over lutz cause i think lassiter was more of a complete player than lutz imo.
Will junmar be joining this years draft? Abueva?and hodge?
More Gilas members in draft
August 10, 2011, 4:48pm
MANILA, Philippines — Three stalwarts of Smart-Gilas Pilipinas and two
amateur standouts were the latest personalities who made themselves available for the coming PBA Annual Draft at the Robinsons Place Manila.
The names of Andy Mark Barroca, Mac Baracael, and Jason Ballesteros had been included in the list of 20 names so far comprising the selection for the Aug. 28 event – the first official activity of the league for the 2011-12 season.
Barroca and Baracael, former teammates with Far Eastern University, and Ballesteros are currently in New Taipei City as part of the Smart Gilas squad seeing action in the William Jones Cup basketball tournament.
Also adding luster to the Draft are Eric Salamat, a key player in Ateneo’s three straight UAAP championships, and former University of the East star James Martinez.
Prospective rookie applicants – both homegrown and foreign-bred players – have until Aug 18 to submit their respective application and other requirements.
Powerade owns the privilege of selecting first in the Draft after winning the lottery over Air21 and Meralco last Sunday.
Two other members of the national team bound for Wuhan, China next month for the FIBA-Asia Olympic qualifier for the 2012 London Games already submitted their applications earlier, namely, Marcio Lassiter and Chris Lutz.
For this year, only Fil-foreign players who donned the national colors and are over the PBA D-League age limit of 26 years old are allowed to join the Draft.
Application and papers of all applicants will still be scrutinized before the Commissioner’s Office comes out with the final list of candidates eligible to attend the Rookie Camp set August 23 to 26.
Other fresh applicants include San Sebastian teammates Gilbert Bulawan and John Raymundo, the University of the Visayas pair of Mark Ababon and Ariel Mepana, and Santo Tomas’ Allein Maliksi.
Completing the Draft list are Nino Nabong, Christopher Pestano, Raymond Montaniel, Marc Cagoco, Alvyn Cabonce, Christopher Concepcion, Felimon Fernandez and Marvin Graebel.
After Powerade, Rain or Shine owns the no. 2 pick, followed by Air21, Powerade, and Shopinas – the former Barako Bull franchise now owned by the Lina Group of Companies.

la tenorio often get cramps during his ateneo days, i don't see him getting cramps in alaska...
I was banned the second time for no apparent reason at all....power tripper!
If you cannot amaze people with your intelligence, confuse them with your stupidity.
re: the mock draft. who's going to get who? any idea?
I remember Magoo said that Jason Ballesteros would be a first round pick (high)
from the looks of it, he might land as #2, I am assuming he'll be acquired by Rain or Shine. (just my wild guess)
It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.
A weird feeling that either Lassiter or Lutz goign to RoS.. What a waste.

they're abandoning the ship before it sinksA weird feeling that either Lassiter or Lutz goign to RoS.. What a waste.
to be traded later onA weird feeling that either Lassiter or Lutz goign to RoS.. What a waste.
