Chot Reyes says incoming Ateneo big man Mason Amos has given a good account of himself as Gilas Pilipinas scrambles for size.
MANILA, Philippines – The shortage of Gilas Pilipinas big men has 18-year-old Mason Amos emerging as a strong contender for a roster spot in the sixth and final window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
Set to join their respective teams in the Japan B. League, Kai Sotto and Carl Tamayo decided to skip the sixth window, while Barangay Ginebra veteran Japeth Aguilar suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of the games.Amos, who is expected to debut for Ateneo in Season 86 of the UAAP later this year, impressed for Gilas Youth in the FIBA U18 Asian Championship in August as he averaged 21.2 points and 5.8 rebounds.
Although the seniors game is a different beast altogether, the additional absences of big men Kelly Williams and Raymond Almazan have improved Amos’ chances of cracking the lineup.
