“GILAS-ables” is a series
of articles that will discuss different players who could make a case for
joining the Gilas pool. This series will include Filipinos and Fil-foreign
players plying their trade not just in the PBA but also in other leagues, including
the US NCAA, the UAAP, and the PBA D-League.
In the fourth article in this
series, we’ll talk about a player who’s represented the Philippines in
international 3x3 competitions already but has not generated even a single peep
with regards to his possible inclusion in the Gilas pool.

something suddenly clicked inside the head of the 4-year veteran.
