The magical run to the FIBA Asia 2012 silver medal was nothing short of historic, with the Gilas Pilipinas program setting its sights on the coming FIBA Worlds competition in Spain next year. But world-wide glory will have to take a backseat as the players (and coaches and staff) have all returned to their mother PBA ball clubs to compete for the prestigious PBA Governor's Cup and end their PBA season with a bang.
We take a look at how the Gilas Pilipinas roster is doing in the on-going tournament, ranking them from 11 to 1 based on their performances.
11. Jimmy Alapag, PG, Talk 'n' Text
The captain has been busy chilling with family in the U.S. Having played for the country for so long the last decade, who's going to complain if Alapag opts to sit out the rest of the conference?
10. Jeffrei Chan, SG, Rain or Shine
4 games 22mpg 6ppg 2rpg 3apg
Did Chan shoot himself dry in the FIBA Asia? The Negros Sniper is going through a lengthy shooting slump as of late, dating back to the last conference (good thing it didn't show as much in the FIBA Asia tournament). Fortunately for Chan, he has guys like Paul Lee and Ryan Arana picking up the offense. If he's not too careful, Chris Tiu is going to take his spot as his team's best shooter from deep.
