NLEX coach Fernandez weighs in: Ginebra needs Slaughter, but Sangalang a better fit for Kings
"If (Ginebra) wants a natural big guy, they get (Greg) Slaughter. If they want a running big who is versatile, Ian (Sangalang) yun,” says NLEX coach Boyet Fernandez. Jerome Ascano
IT’S the kind of dilemma Barangay Ginebra doesn’t mind facing.
As owner of this year’s top overall pick in the PBA Rookie Draft, the Kings appeared to be torn between talented big guys Greg Slaughter and Ian Sangalang ahead of the November 3 event at the Robinson’s Place Manila.
Boyet Fernandez, who handled both players at NLEX in the PBA D-League, offered his two cents of worth on the matter by dissecting the talent and level skills of both Slaughter and Sangalang and at the same time, how each of them could help the Kings as the No. 1 selection overall.
For starters, Fernandez said, “They can’t go wrong with any of the two guys.”
“Depende sa need ng Ginebra yang choice nila diyan. If they want a natural big guy, they get Slaughter. If they want a running big who is versatile, Ian yun!” added the former PBA champion coach, who coached the two bigs when the Road Warrions won the Foundation Cup title last year.
Fernandez said Slaugher can be a very good asset owing to his towering 7-foot-1 height and decent perimeter shooting.
“Ginebra really lacks a natural big man eh. Tignan mo naman lineup nila. May Kerby (Raymund) sila at (Japeth) Aguilar puro hindi natural five yun,” he pointed out.
“Sentro nila si Mamaril pero hindi masyadong malaki. Kailangan nila ng natural big at mukhang si Slaughter yun,” added Fernandez.
But while the NLEX coach contends Slaughter can fill in the big void of Ginebra in the middle, Sangalang can ultimately fit the run and gun style of the team.
“Slaughter kasi is more of a set-up player. To best utilize him, you look for him in the post. Pero si Ian, he can run up and down with Ginebra stars like Mark Caguioa and LA Tenorio,” added Fernandez.
Asked why the Road Warriors lost in the last D-League Finals to Blackwater Sports with Sangalang out and only Slaughter the one left of the team's Twin Towers, Fernandez said it had something to do with the sudden adjustment the team had to make.
“Si Greg nung dumating siya, sanay na kaming walang big man. Kaya nung bumalik si Greg nung playoffs, binago ko ng kaunti `yung play nun, medyo nag-change `yung tempo namin,” he said.
“Gamble din yun nung bumalik sa amin si Greg. Kasi ginawa sa amin ng Blackwater, everytime nandun si Greg tinatakbuhan kami. Tapos pag pumoste sa ilalim si Greg, dino-double team naman nila,” said Fernandez.
Blackwater star center Justin Chua credited the Elite’s defense for the upset over the highly-favored Road Warriors during the Foundation Cup finals.
“Napaganda lang `yung depensa namin kaya nagkaroon ng better offensive chances sa kanila,” said Chua, who like Slaughter and Sangalang, has also entered the draft.
“Medyo kasi alam ko ang depensa kay Greg. Alam ko kung ano mga gagawin niya. Mahirap siya pigilan pag nasa ilalim halos sure two points yun kasi ang laki niya eh,” said Chua, a former back-up of Slaughter at Ateneo in the UAAP.
So effective was Chua’s defense on Slaughter that he was able to clamp down on the towering center, limiting him to just 10.5 points a game while he himself tallied 17 points in the series.
“Pero pag nasa labas pa siya alam ko gagawin niya, kaya alam ko ang bantay,” added Chua, who is reportedly being eyed by Globaport in the coming draft.
Asked if the Elite could have won the last Finals had Sangalang was still with the Road Warriors, Blackwater Sports team owner Dioceldo Sy said, “Malamang nahirapan kami.”

tama ka kabs, tsaka mas magiging effective at less pressure kay Japeth ganun din kay Greg na bantayan ang shaded lane dahil may katuwang sila..badong1209@yahoo.com wrote:tama. greg na yan. ndi na kailangan tumakbo ni greg basta sa kanya depnsa at rebound. marami na tayo scorer hindi naman takbuhan ang usapan dito. kung gusto nila ng player who can run. si elma muros kunin nila sa draft.

agree again! hindi na tayo mahihirapan na mag match up sa ibang teams na naglalakihan ang mga players, lalo na sa mga darating na unlimited height na import di na tayo mahihirapan..wnc19 wrote:at mas magiging confident tumira sa labas mga shooters natin kung meron tayong 7 footer na rebounder

si greg centro talaga si japeth hindi naman talaga natural center . dito na malamang lumabas ang skills ni japeth malalro nya talaga yung posistion na gusto nya. kung si ian kasbayan nya sa court malamang move ang position sa s 5. masira laro nya. with greg lalabas talaga laro nya dadali ang basketball para sa boung team twin towers ba naman ang kukuha ng rebound may ellis pa na halimaw tumalon.

yan din ang nasa isip ko pre, kapag natuloy ang trade kay Kerby at makuha pa si Belga via trade, malamang si Ian nga kunin nila sa draftbetterhalf wrote:kay greg din ako. pro kung makukuha si belga ok na si ian

GS is fit to ginebra
kung ikaw you see GS and japeth nagaabang would you attack? i think no you go outside eh meron din tayo ellis sa labas,,
and offense naman if you have a 7footer to grab those offensive rebounds you'll have the confidence to take the shot

ewan ko na lng pag ndi pa nakita ng coaching staff ng ginebra yang mga ganyan scenario. imagine may shooting din si greg sa labas maka attract ng big man ng opposing team yun mawawala yung rebounder nila sa loob e may japeth at ellis tayo. sama mo pa si tinyente

Re: NLEX coach Fernandez weighs in: Ginebra needs Slaughter, but Sangalang a better fit for Kings
greg is the best option ngayon dahil ang need ng team is legit na center... kung gusto nila ng takbuhan si japeth muna ang ilagay sa center para makatakbo ang team....
pag di nila kinuha si greg, nganga na naman tayo sa center spot....

Re: NLEX coach Fernandez weighs in: Ginebra needs Slaughter, but Sangalang a better fit for Kings
kung may boses lang sana ang fans - I also go for greg, legit center, 7"1, may perimeter shot and intimidating presence, kahit hindi siya tumakbo basta bato lang ng bato pag nakakuha ng rebound....idagdag pa si belga, sana makuha natin, one on one trade kay kerby...
