Coach Yeng Guiao, appointed head coach of the RP basketball squad will be announcing a 15 man roster in two weeks time. This is perhaps one of the most difficult task to do because this is where real work begins.

I'd like to formulate my own 15 man line-up and see if I can match Guiao's selection.

1. Dondon Hontiveros - SG
2. Asi Taulava - C
3. Kerby Raymundo - PF
4. Ranidel de Ocampo -PF
5. Gabe Norwood - SG/SF
6. Mark Caguioa -SG
7. Willi Miller - SG
8. Kelly Williams - SF
9. Arwind Santos -SF
10. Jimmy Alapag - PG
11. Jayjay Helterbrand - PG
12. Anthony Washington - SF/PF
13. Mick Pennisi - C
14. Dennis Miranda -PG
15. Sonny Thoss - C

My list is only composed of PBA players. We can anticipate Fil-Am recruits because they can definitely help the team in terms of size just like what the RP team got in Gabe Norwood this year. A notable recruit also is ex-Blue Eagle, Japeth Aguilar. Japeth, now listed at 6'10" is currently in the US NCAA Division 1 team, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. It would be very exciting to see this young, pure-blooded Filipino to play for our country.
