Pogoy backs Finals rival McCullough for Gilas Pilipinas
Chris McCullough is a trendy pick to be the next naturalized player for Gilas Pilipinas. He's young, tall and lanky, a gifted scorer, and can help out on defense, especially on the weak side of the ball. Oh and he's a winner too, having led the San Miguel Beermen to the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup title. A lot of people back C-Mac to Gilas, including RR Pogoy, the national team mainstay and PBA Finals rival to McCullough. "Malaki rin yung matutulong niya kasi parang fit siya sa laro ng mga Pinoy," Pogoy said on 2OT with PBA broadcasters Magoo Marjon and Carlo Pamintuan. "Malaki, 6'10" ata siya na may laro sa labas at loob. Tapos, parang pwede siya sa depensa na shot blocker, kasi yan kailangan sa Gilas eh, yung shot blocker tsaka rebounder na offensive player," he added. Despite being a trendy pick, there's still some concerns about C-Mac on Gilas. For one, he wasn't a known one-on-one defender, and his lanky frame could be all the more questionable against the bigger centers in the Asian region. But for Pogoy, McCullough pairing up with San Miguel teammate June Mar Fajardo can solve those problems, and the positives of C-Mac's versatility can outweigh the negatives of his supposed defensive struggles. "Mayroon naman tayong June Mar so pwede naman siguro," Pogoy said. "Yung all-around talaga ang kailangan kapag mag-naturalize tayo so feel ko, pwedeng-pwede siya [McCullough] pang-Gilas," he added. — Follow this writer on Twitter, @paullintag8.....»»
