He is a very impressionable young man

Should have been a top 3 pick in 2013. With a team of his own, his career would have turned out different

This development coach for the Kings, Jimmy Alapag, is another guy that comes from my country. He’s the perfect development coach for the Kings. His game back then was very similar to Fox or Mitchell back then. He plays like Ty Lawson back in the days. And the system they run is very similar to the kings with a tweener 5 that creates a lot of mismatch.

2:10 mark. Oof I remember that one. The Sixers were down 12 with 2 minutes left and came back to tie it! Only for Dirk to do that.

Just finished watching the Team USA vs Puerto Rico game. Cam Johnson looks huge. I thought it was Jalen when the announcer referred to him as Johnson.

Watched China with Kyle Anderson. I do think China has a wrong understanding of basketball. They put too much emphasis on height but most of these tall guys aren’t mobile and are just getting blown by on defense. Kyle Anderson is looking redundant because he’s playing will gusy with same size and speed.

Banchero and Ingram at the 4&5 look interesting. I think USA made the right decision to send this group.

Your country? You mean America? Or you mean county?

Now I can see it, but before never had. Always would've loved him to become a Sixer.

By showing that video, I am guessing you think he comes from the Philippines. He might have Filipino heritage, but he doesn’t come from there. He’s a native of Cali.

It depends on your definition.

Whatever it is, thats ok with me. I didnt even call him a Filipino in my OP.

My POV was he spent most of his basketball career in the Philippines playing for the country playing against International competition. And my OP is more about how he is a good fit with the Kings because he plays like Kings’ top players and in a Kings-like system.

He played for your country. Not comes from there. Filipinos/Filipinas love claiming everything remotely connected to their country. Not dissing, as many of my good friends are from there. Spent countless hours drinking fundador light and red horse and eating sisig, while listening to Andrew E songs for karaoke. :lol:

No worries. You definitely can talk basketball with us for days. That our only sport or hobby in here.
