00:00 There are more people who can join the field foreigners.
00:02 It's a start, but we still need to add more teams.
00:07 The question is, can the field foreign rookies fill the gap between the billet and KBL inputs?
00:20 I think for now, not yet.
00:22 We saw the highlights of the field foreigners on YouTube,
00:26 we watched the 3x3,
00:29 it remains to be seen if it's the same level or more when it comes to PBA.
00:34 Plus, the players who are not in the PBA,
00:37 those who are going to the billet and KBL,
00:40 those are premium players, big names, top stars here in the Philippines,
00:45 those are the ones who are not in the PBA.
00:46 So for now, if the answer to our question is, can they fill the gap,
00:49 I think not yet.
00:50 It remains to be seen, let's watch the field foreigners here first,
00:55 and then let's judge them after that.
00:58 At least now, it's opening up,
00:59 there are more people who can join the field foreigners.
01:02 It's a start, but we still need to add more teams.
01:07 So that not only the field foreigners will be given more chances,
01:12 but also our locals.
