No debates this time around.
The debate on who should Gilas Pilipinas select between Jordan Clarkson and Justin Brownlee for the FIBA World Cup has long been decided.
Gilas fans, though, were treated to pictures of JB and JC meeting one another after Gilas’ practice on Saturday.
In a post by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas on their social media pages, Clarkson and Brownlee were seen talking to one another while also dapping each other up.
It would be safe to assume that Brownlee is giving Clarkson some tips on adjusting and getting to know his Gilas teammates.
Brownlee has been a crucial piece for Gilas over the past couple of months, leading the team to win back the SEA Games gold as well as helping the team prepare for the FIBA World Cup.
But with Clarkson finally in the country and training with Gilas, all eyes are on how the Utah Jazz star can blend with the team in time for the tournament which starts on August 25.
Of course, coach Chot Reyes and assistant coach Tim Cone aren’t too worried about Clarkson’s chemistry with the team.
But maybe one day, we could see JB and JC suit up for Gilas at the same time.
That’s definitely a dream scenario for Gilas.
