I'll still GO with Marcus in 2013

The Basketball World was shaken after the rumor that Javale Mcgee is the next candidate for Naturalization. At first look, we can say that this legitimate center is a nice choice for the STARTING CENTER position of our Gilas Version 2. 

But how about our kababayan Marcus Douthit? What is next to this behemoth? 

Let us first discuss what can Pierre bring to the table.

• Javale Mcgee
• STRENGTHS 
1. This 23 year old monster is STILL not in his prime. 
2. Playing in the NBA gave this guy a first class training.
3. Being part of TEAM USA reserves is just a statement of how good he can be.
4. His intimidation factor can give Yi JianLian, Hamed Heddadi and other Asian Big Men a run for their money.
• WEAKNESSES
1. His J is still a suspect.
2. IF the plan of having him is final, and if the NBA resumes, how can he get the Chemistry we always need?
3. Do Pierre has the same attitude Big Daddy had?

Let us now go to the Reliable Big Daddy Douthit.

• Marcus Douthit
• STRENGTHS
1. In Filipino terms, Marcus is "SUBOK NA"
2. With him always available, we can say that the chemistry with him is always there.
3. Being an import in CBA, we can say that the competition he is playing is also World Class.
4. His Attitude fits in our Country.
• WEAKNESSES
1. He is aging.
2. Injury Prone.

BARBER SPEAK NOTES:

Personally, it would be nice to have Javale representing our country, but in 2013 I'll still go with Marcus as our Player. But looking in the future, Man! It is damn good! Having this two behemoth facing in the practice, it will definitely be good! Marcus teaching Javale some tricks and Javale polishing his J, it is like we are training a monster ready to explode in 2015.   

Goodluck to our Country! Our time will come! Hope that Javale realize to play in the country ;)
