After just 10 players attended Gilas Pilipinas practice last Thursday, the Meralco Gym was filled with talent on Tuesday evening, as 16 players were present.
Kiefer Ravena and Kobe Paras were in full uniform, with the latter participating in his first practice with the seniors team. Their Chooks-Pilipinas 3×3 teammate Jeron Teng did not suit up as he was still battling the flu.
Raymar Jose and Bobby Ray Parks, Jr. were also 3-for-3 in Gilas’ prep for the 2017 Jones Cup and SEA Games. On the other hand, Filipino-German Christian Standhardinger has yet to arrive.
For the first batch of cadets, Von Pessumal, Carl Cruz, Almond Vosotros, Kevin Ferrer, Mike Tolomia, Ed Daquioag, Fonzo Gotladera, and Matthew Wright participated while Mac Belo and Russel Escoto, who is recovering from an ACL injury, were on the sidelines. Jiovani Jalalon has yet to attend.
TNT’s insurance Mike Myers completed Tuesday night’s cast.
