Philippines might need import replacement. Aussie?
With talks that naturalized player Marcus Douhit(6 foot 11, 233lbs) playing his final year for Philippine national team, a replacement is needed of course.
The Philippines eliminated South Korea last night in which the injured Douhit did not play. With the win, they are guaranteed for trip to Basketball World Cup in Spain next year.
I always thought that getting player from Australia for naturalization is the best option than getting from somewhere else.
Australia is 8 hours flight to Philippines that will favor a player in terms of traveling between home away from home, vice versa. Also Australian players are more suited to team plays than ,say, of Americans, who are more dominant on one-on-one.
Australia has huge talents for big man. Not the best in the world as we often expect them to be like the Dwigth Howards or the Tyson Chandlers. But they can play in the world level.
I still remember Chris Antey's block on Dwight Howard in Beijing Olympics.
