Ramos excited to play with reclassified Millora-Brown

Dwight Ramos expressed excitement about playing alongside Quentin Millora-Brown for Gilas Pilipinas after FIBA reclassified Millora-Brown as a local player.

Ramos, who spoke to Rappler on Sunday, August 17, noted that Millora-Brown's addition will provide the team with much-needed size as veteran players like June Mar Fajardo and Japeth Aguilar approach retirement.

Millora-Brown joins a young frontcourt featuring AJ Edu and Kai Sotto, who missed the recent FIBA Asia Cup where Gilas finished seventh.

Ramos acknowledged the importance of facing strong teams to improve, citing losses to Australia and New Zealand as valuable learning experiences.

The team's unexpected loss to Chinese Taipei at the start of the tournament highlighted the need for early-game focus and strategic play.
