GILAS PILIPINAS : "TURIN 14" NAMED, TEAM OFF TO EUROPE FOR TRAINING

The Gilas Pilipinas line up was cut down to 14 players after the team won its Iran tune up game last night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, 81-70.

After the game, coach Tab Baldwin said in the post game interview that the management will still discuss the final 14 members since the game made the coaching staff to rethink some of their choices.

I personally think that it was Ryan Reyes' performance that made an impression last night, considering that both perimeter shooters Jeff Chan and Marcio Lassiter are still recuperating from an injury or an illness.

A couple of hours after the press conference, it was team manager Butch Antonio who announced the final 14 players who remains in the Gilas Pilipinas pool. The 14 players are:



These players will go to a 3 week training camp in Europe - specifically in Germany and will join a pocket tournament in Turin, Italy. The final 12 is expected to be announced when they come back to the Philippines on June 28. They will have their last tune up game against Turkey on July1 before the start of the FIBA Olympic Qualifier on July 5.
