Im pretty sure Gian Chiu will make it as a pro... its just that its here in the PBA not in the NBA. Gian was from Xavier School. Ateneo recruited him for high school and so he went... his family wasn't satisfied with the development so they decided to bring him to the USA

When he left for the USA, he was at 6'7. i know him personally and i hope he doesn't let things get into his head because medyo naging mayabang eh. He has aspirations to play in the NBA but man, the only way he makes it is IF he grows another 8 inches.

Some of the 6'8 players in the NBA: Lebron James, Kobe Bryant... i don't ever see Gian being 1/4 as athletic as these guys.
 
damn straight kobe beef....asa pa yan makaNBA no offense to that TANK they call Gian Chiu

noli locsin pang NBA tankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ahahahhaha

remember the Quick Brown Fox?
Ricky Brown who played for Great Taste and San Miguel...
apparently he was drafted by an NBA team in 1979 but never played.

Fil-Am Raymond Townsend who resides here in NorCal ( San Jose ) played for the Warriors & Pacers during the late 70s and early 80s...

Tracking Philippine league veterans in NBA

In Asia, only China and Japan has sent players to the NBA. Yao Ming, Mengke Batere and Wang Zhizhi of China and Yuta Tabuse of Japan are in the record books as the Asian pioneers in the majors. The Philippines, a hoops hotbed in the Far East, has yet to send a player to the NBA although a US-born half-Filipino, half-American guard Raymond Townsend saw action for the Golden State Warriors in 1978-79 and 1979-80 and the Indiana Pacers in 1981-82.er four years later. He was the Warriors first round pick in the 1978 draft. Among his UCLA teammates were Marques Johnson, Jamaal Wilkes, Richard Washington, Roy Hamilton, Dave Greenwood, Kiki Vandeweghe and Darrel Allums, all of whom played in the NBA.
In July 1980, Townsend flew to Manila in a sentimental homecoming accompanied by his family. He came with his mother Virginia Marella from Balayan, Batangas. a Philippine province in southern Luzon. father Ray, Sr., brother Kurtis (former University of Michigan assistant coach), three sisters and several NBA players including Wilkes, Cliff Ray, Derrick Dickey and Greg Lee. Townsend and his companion cagers played a series of exhibitions in Manila, Olongapo and Cebu.
In 1993, Townsend returned to Manila, looking for basketball opportunities. He tried to play in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), Asia's first professional hoop league (established in 1975), but at 37, found no takers.
Another half-Filipino, half-American player Ricardo Brown of Pepperdine University was picked by the Houston Rockets on the third round of the 1979 draft but never got to play in the NBA.Through the years, the PBA has been a haven for American players looking to hone their skills and enjoy the hospitality of basketball-crazy Filipinos. Former Detroit Piston Norman Black of St. Joseph's University played 10 years in the PBA and has settled down in Manila with his Filipina wife Benjie and their three children. Playground legend, ex-Portland Trail Blazer and Nike endorser Billy Ray Bates is widely considered the greatest American import ever to see action in the PBA. Other imports who had outstanding PBA careers were NBA veterans Tony Harris, Chris King, Henry James and Larry McNeill.
For the record, 38 NBA first round picks have played in the PBA. The list includes Glenn McDonald, the late George Trapp, Otto Moore, the late Anthony Roberts, Larry Demic, Howard Carter, Rob Williams, Don Collins, Michael Young, Freeman Williams, Ennis Whatley, Wes Matthews, Mike McGee, Mitchell Wiggins, Dennis Hopson, Byron Houston, Johnny Taylor, Chris Morris, Leon Wood (now an NBA referee) and Scott Burrell.
Most imports who play in the PBA are American. Exceptions include Julius Nwosu of Nigeria, Leon Trimmingham of the Virgin Islands, Andy Thompson of the Bahamas (who now works for the NBA) and Stewart Granger of Canada.
Not too many fans know that former Washington guard Kevin Porter ended his playing career in the PBA in 1983.

Kagaya din ng mga non-pros. Hindi na nga makalaro sa hindi tablang court dahil baka masira ang mga mamahaling sapatos e. At syempre, kumpleto pa din ng gears at kung anu-anong benda kahit walang mga pilay!!

Pwera lang kung naglalaro din sa bilaran ng palay...

kaya tigil nyo na yang kahibangan nyo na "feeling" magaling daw kuno kayo .

oo siguro magaling nga kayo ...... "magaling" lang sa "porma" mga wala namang binatbat .

When I say "non-pros" I am referring to the real non-pros - "us". All we do is talk bad about others yet most of us cannot even get past inter-color leagues.
