PBA's Top Pick come November 3, 2013

[McLovin]

nag improve naman ba si GS under Coach Norman Black and even with Coach Boyet Fernandez (PBL Nlex Coach)?

interms of improvement sir malaki na talaga ang inimprove niya simula ng mapasok siya sa AdMU under norman black dito kasi sa cebu di gaanong malalaki ang nakakatapat niya pagnakatanggap siya ng pasa sa ilalim sure na 2pts dahil sa laki niya....
may perimeter shooting na siya at low psot moves pati na rin foot work niya nag-improve na rin kaya swerte ang team na makakakuha sa kanya pati na rin ang predicted draft steal ko na si poligrates hehe

I see, mukang malaki pa ma improve pag may mag guide kay GS, I think si Eric Menk ang magiging mentor nya if ever mapunta nga sya sa Ginebra. Magpa bulk din siguro sya para di siya madali mapush around lalo na ng mga players like Quinahan, Belga at Fajardo. Palagi ko naririnig din si Poligrates, combo guard ba yung laro nya?

Off Topic : Naalala ko sir McLovin yung sa sig mo, nagpagawa ako ng ganyan ID nung college days ko nung nauso yung Superbad, pang trip lang haha

[McLovin]

natural point guard ang position ni poligrates.... but he's built like a baron davis na malapad ang katawan sa tingin ko pwedeng² siyang ma convert into a combo gurad..... na headlines nga siya way back 2010 ata yun or 2011 nung harap-harapan siyang binatukan ng coach niya na si yayoy alcoseba dahil sa bad play sa PCCL qualifiers

The top 3 of this draft is solid: Slaughter, Sangalang, and Almazan, all legit big men. Slaughter should go #1, and I'm looking forward to his future games against his old rival Fajardo.

Draft Focus: Greg Slaughter will make Ginebra a contender once again
source: SlamOnline

Name: Greg Slaughter
School: Ateneo De Manila University
Instant Analysis: Greg Slaughter barely improved during his two years at The Ateneo (First year: 13.5 ppg/ 9.38 rpg/ 1.38 apg/ 1.94 bpg. Second year: 13.12 ppg/ 9.82 rpg/ 1.82 apg/ 2.82 bpg). He was never an excellent rebounder (didn’t lead the UAAP in that department) and he wasn’t as efficient on offense as you would like a seven-footer in the Philippines should be. That’s why it should be thrown out there that he does have a lower ceiling — in terms of potential and improvement — than fans expect. Coaches already know this but Ginebra fans might be forming irrational expectations on him already especially with how June Mar Fajardo is performing. There shouldn’t be much of a difference between rookie Greg and veteran Greg in terms of what he’ll be able to give Ginebra.
THAT BEING SAID, seven feet are seven feet. The Blue Eagles were far and away the best defensive team in the UAAP during Greg’s stay in Loyola and he will surely help big man-famined Ginebra in that department. You look at his block averages and you might say that they might not be impressive; that he should have averaged more. But those “low” averages were a function of  teams not trying to attack the basket. Really, college teams were just shooting jumpers vs. Ateneo. If there’s something that Ginebra fans expect  out of Slaughter, it’s that he’d be able to help them on defense immensely. And he will help them at their running game with his rebounding and shot-blocking and with all the long rebounds coming from jumpers that his presence will induce.
When Ginebra drafts Greg Slaughter, they will have someone that only Petron has. And that should be something.
Projection: FIRST OVERALL PICK
Best-case Scenario: 15 ppg/ 10 rpg/ 3 bpg
Worst-case Scenario: E.J. Feihl
