Juan Gomez de Liano out to make most of Gilas call-up
Juan Gomez de Liaño has been invited to join the Gilas Pilipinas pool for the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
National team head coach Tim Cone sees Gomez de Liaño as a way to strengthen Gilas' backcourt depth, specifically as a scorer, ball-controller, and pick-and-roll guy for future windows.
Cone stated that Gomez de Liaño is invited to train with the Nationals and is not a shoo-in for the Final 12.
Cone mentioned that Gomez de Liaño's visa is an advantage for the team, which is experiencing visa issues with other players.
If selected, this will be his first time representing the Philippines since 2022.
Coach Cone noted that Gomez de Liaño's inclusion in the pool had little to do with his recent 32-point performance against Barangay Ginebra.
