ALL eyes will be on freshly-naturalized Justin Brownlee who debuts in Gilas Pilipinas’s blue-and-white in the Philippines-Lebanon game in the sixth and last window of the International Basketball Federation World Cup Asian Qualifiers on Friday at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
“I’m pretty excited, it’s my first time but I’m a little bit nervous…butterflies…but I’m ready to go,” Brownlee, a three-time Philippine Basketball Association best import, said. Gilas is in third place in Group E with a 5-3 win-loss record behind No. 1 Lebanon and No. 2 New Zealand , but the Philippines, as co-host with Japan, are seeded in the 32-nation World Cup set from August 25 to September 10.
“Lebanon is really a traditionally good basketball team, but I’m sure we are more prepared this time than the last time we faced them,” said the 34-year-old 6-foot-5 Brownlee who’s expected to prowl the 3 and 4 positions—his comfort zone.
