2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

..so I don't know if he really play like his brother or he deserve to be drafted in the PBA.

Deserve is a big word. Everyone deserves to be drafted in the PBA as long as they are qualified. No need for Andre to be like Kobe if he really wants to enter the PBA draft.

In fairness, Andre Paras "might" be ahead in terms of performance to some players from BlackWater, Northport, and DYIP at around his age.

But honestly, that's not a big deal. It's like a usual player that wants to take part in the PBA draft. It's just being highlighted because Andre Paras came from a popular family in the local basketball world.

Lol, that is true and for sure he will be picked because he is a Paras  . Basketball in the Philippines these days don't just rely on talent for you to be up there in the PBA, you also got to have the connection unless your name is Junemar Fajardo.

I don't why Andre Paras is still pursuing his PBA career because i thought he earned more money facing the camera. He could have just give his slot to other players.

Probably just want to follow the footstep of his father but I think at the current generation, he cannot be as good as his father since the competition is really tight. He has a good a good career as an artist, maybe he wants to try his passion in playing basketball again and being drafted in the PBA is one of the big success for him.

I agree with you. He is already a successful person in his profession as an artist, model, and dancer.

But despite that, nothing can replace the first profession he truly loved and that is playing basketball.

I'm amazed that even while in showbiz and studying, he still able to play in college leagues before which shows basketball is really his passion but just caught up in multi-tasking so the focus is not there.

True, if Andre Paras will successfully be signed by a team, and Kobe will soon enter in the PBA, I think we can compare them to the Ball Brothers in the NBA. Lavar Ball is the Benjie Paras.

I think one of the most wanted see player in player is Andre Paras. He is likely to have a good career in PBA. I remembered while I watch how he plays and watch those mini highlights for him, I realize that Paras might be the one who the Philippines need in the Gilas in the future. For now, I think he needs to improve his offense nd defense and use of his height advantage. But Paras will definitely a global competetive just like Kai Sotto in NBA Draft Camp. Paras might be the son of  legendary basketball player but I think he is on the other way around making a name for himself and just like others wanted to have a different career path from his father. I am looking forward to see him in the next games of PBA and as well as in Gilas in the future.

And if they are together in the same team with their current skills, they are competitive teams that have a higher percentage to go to the finals. I hope that they will go to teams that have some fewer star players so that they can fully use their strength and improve their plays. They can manage to acquire some new traits like improving their leadership skills in they landed on the same team together.

I doubt this because the level of talent that Andre Paras have is not that high and he might not land on the top ten in the draft pick and i also got a feeling that he might be drafted because he is a Paras but might not see action in the PBA as the PBA team that drafted him might not offer him a contract.

I think you are talking about the other Paras which is Kobe as he is the one on the Gilas squad at the moment.

Andre Paras is more on the show business side of his father, he is not as good as his brother and I do not think that he will go on and apply as a draft pick for PBA, he is happy as is in his show business life. Kobe on the other hand is a hope for the new generation of Basketball scene in the Philippines.

Do you guys just only watch highlights of the Paras brothers? Or not aware of the PBA competition especially against SMC and MVP companies?

Do you really think Kobe+Andre can lift a lower-tier team in the PBA? Kobe Paras will be eaten alive in the PBA. Paras brothers can't lift up a team by themselves. Even you put them on Terrafirma DYIP with CJ Perez, they will surely can't even pass in the quarterfinals.

..and I do not think that he will go on and apply as a draft pick for PBA, he is happy as is in his show business life.

You are outdated mate. The reason Andre Paras was in the discussion here because he applies for the PBA draft.

I didn't check when I was replying to these but then I got curious after my last post. It seems that show business at this time of the pandemic is not a profitable endeavor, or that he really wants to do other things. Anyway, I think that if in anyway, I think he will enter at least at the top 10 because of the name and the height.

[blockman]

With a lot of articles online especially those that are written by our fellowmen, you can certainly read information about how good he is, so I'm not surprise with that as we Filipinos love to support our "kababayan" and imagine what kind of pride it will bring to our country as there's no pure Filipino that has played in the NBA yet.

I think that I've read wasn't made by our fellowmen. He is our hope this time to get into NBA, he's at the perfect age and timing.

I've read the news about Andre, there will be a sure that will take him. He has a history due to his father and also has the height. But I agree to you that they're not yet as good as the veterans that the PBA teams have. I feel regret that Kobe didn't pursue his career in the NBA.
I thought that he's near to it but things have change and situation has made it not possible anymore.

[Vaculin]

I feel regret that Kobe didn't pursue his career in the NBA.

He tried but failed.

Japeth Aguilar and Ray Parks tried their luck in the NBA but they both failed, during that time, there are also a hype for them to be successful but it failed.
The competition is just really high in the US, so it's hard for a Filipino to enter in the NBA, but we don't loss hope, we will always support our very own.

We can't put a period on that statement dude unless proven. First of all, I will disregard Andre here because I really doubt his basketball ability, we all knew that he is more of an actor than a player (sorry my bad).

Okay, if Kobe teamed up with Perez I think it could work as long as they will not share in the same position because an imbalance might happen. But that's the problem actually ! They both play on the Small Forward position so what now? Hmm, for me the best thing they can do is to make an adjustment on Kobe's part since he is the taller one. I'm not saying that they can't be both aggressive, they can but much better if Perez will stand as a leader.

Before we praise Kobe, now we doubted him. Come on guys, let's give him a chance, we haven't seen him played in the PBA yet, let's believe that he will improve on whatever team he will play. Honestly, I have some players that I doubt before but now they have really improve a lot, so I don't want to underestimate a player.

Yes, and Kai is the one that we're waiting for it. A very big chance and hoping that he'd be the one that will be successful getting in this generation. He's height is ideal and very young blood which is in favor of those teams that are looking for the young bloods to join their team and be trained.
He just needed to be trained more and get more experience and joining Gilas will give him that exposure and experience. It's a very quick time, just a few years ago he's in the talks of possibly going to NBA and bigger leagues and he's about to be there soon.

Let me float the name Dwight Ramos in this thread as i think personally that he will soon become one of the face of the PBA. Though he did not file his draft application as of now but many PBA teams are interested in this kid. Standing at 6 foot 5, he is a 1 and 2 guard combo that we have not seen for a long time in the PBA.



Your thought on this guys?

[Maslate]

Your thought on this guys?

honestly I don't know about this kind but I'm watching in one of his highlights now.

100% from the Field! Dwight Ramos (Philippines) - Player of the Game | FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers

he seems playing like a legit PBA player, I love to see this guy in the NBA, he has the height so I hope he can fit in the PBA.
At 6'5", that height would really dominate an opponent if he has the skills.

My first time to hear his name since I'm not actively following outside the PBA league.

There's no buzz around him as he is not coming from a showbiz family  .

I don't think that this kid is NBA bound as there are a lot of competition on his size and height in the NBA but in the PBA he is a rare breed.

Even Coach Yeng believe that Dwight Ramos is PBA ready and i seldom noticed this coach praising a player, that's why i think that this kid is one of the future face in Philippine basketball as he can compete with other players on the backcourt internationally.

Coming from Yeng, this kid must be special.

I just hope he will not fall in any SMB teams, if only SMB and the Pangilinan Group will dominate, I would rather see him playing with the Magnolia Hotshots.

Do you really think Kobe+Andre can lift a lower-tier team in the PBA? Kobe Paras will be eaten alive in the PBA. Paras brothers can't lift up a team by themselves. Even you put them on Terrafirma DYIP with CJ Perez, they will surely can't even pass in the quarterfinals.

I'm not saying that they can't be both aggressive, they can but much better if Perez will stand as a leader.

Before, that's my thinking. But after watching Kobe's performance since then, even after he trained for "several years" in the US to pursue his NBA career or professional career at any foreign league, the way he played, again, he will look like a normal player coming from a college draft when he enters the PBA.

He didn't even shine or become dominant in his UAAP days against "college players".

Anyway, my statement is because someone says that when Kobe+Andre joins a certain team, a lower-tier team in the PBA, the percentage of reaching the Finals do have a high chance which is highly I disagree. Too much hype just because they are Paras or because others just rely on the highlights. Maybe I will agree after 3-4 seasons on their PBA career.
