Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) reveals the members of the 24-Man Gilas Pilipinas pool submitted to FIBA Asia 2015 comittee. The temporary roster formed includes NBA standout Jordan Clarkson, who earlier was confirmed to be eligible to play for Pilipinas Basketball pending the approval of FIBA.

Filipino: Inilabas na ng Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) ang 24 miyembro ng Gilas Pilipinas pool na kasama sa listahan ng mga posibleng maglaro para sa koponan pambansa sa FIBA Asia 2015. Sa pansamantalang listahan ito ay kasama si Jordan Clarkson na pambato ng NBA. Kinumpirma ng SBP na kuwalipikadong maglaro ang Pilipinong si Clarkson sapagkat ito ay natural na Pilipino at hinihintay na lamang ang apruba ng FIBA.

It may interpreted that the 24-Man pool is a safety measure since several players rejected inclusion into the Gilas roster for FIBA Asia 2015. The large list also ensures that amateur standouts can adapt well to the Gilas system.




Andray Blatche is the lone naturalized reinforcement of the Philippine Basketball Team. NBA veteran Jordan Clarkson is confirmed to be a natural born Filipino and holds a passport that passes FIBA requirements. Rosario, Tautuaa, Ravena and Parks are the amateur superstars, with Parks raring to join the NBA D-League team. The remaining players are all Pro stars of the PBA. Pingris, Fajardo, Tenorio, Lassiter and Lee all begged-off from the RP Five but were included in case they have a change of heart. Pingris, on the other hand, has already returned to Gilas fold.

The following names form the Gilas Pilipinas Pool in no particular order:

  • Andray Blatche
  • Jordan Clarkson
  • Troy Rosario
  • Moala Tautuaa
  • Kiefer Ravena
  • Bobby Ray Parks
  • Asi Taulava
  • Ranidel De Ocampo
  • Gabe Norwood
  • Jayson Castro William
  • Gary David
  • JC Intal
  • Terrence Romeo
  • Sonny Thoss
  • Aldrech Ramos
  • Jimmy Alapag
  • Dondon Hontiveros
  • Calvin Abueva
  • Matt Ganuelas Rosser
  • Marc Pingris
  • Junmar Fajardo
  • LA Tenorio
  • Marcio Lassiter
  • Paul Lee Dalistan

Gilas Pilipinas finished a gruelling tour in Estonia and lost all three consecutive games. The nationals are slated next for William Jones Cup before embarking the next journey to the FIBA Asia in China. The FIBA Asia joust is the lone ticket to the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympic Basketball in Brazil.
