@Sam_Vecenie I mean there was definitely a spell of mega conservatism over Euros post Darko/Bargnani that was an over correction in the extreme. Think of the difference between Luka and Wemby's draft arcs, it's night and day yet just a few years apart.

More than Puso: Where next for basketball in the Philippines?
