Chot Reyes ‘dreading’ decision of choosing final 12 as FIBA World Cup nears

MANILA, Philippines, August 17 ------ Choosing the 12 players who will represent Gilas Pilipinas has been a burdensome task for Chot Reyes and his coaching staff.

Reyes said the national team will need to make “difficult decisions” for its final lineup, with the August 25 opening date of the global hoops showdown to be hosted by the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia fast approaching. “Very, very hard. And I’m really, really dreading that time to come,” said Reyes on Tuesday, August 15, when asked how tough it will be selecting the 12-man lineup.

“It is a big source of stress for me, obviously, because we have to make some difficult decisions. And all those guys have been with us from way, way back. Couple of months.” he added.
