The Philippine Basketball Team is now on its focus on achieving gold for the country. The team did train well and prove their dedication on representing the country's primary sports while showing how proud they are. Even players experience less practice as a team due to stiff schedules and conflict on local basketball, still, the team didn't lose hope and they do maximize all the time they can get to be able to achieve their player's best conditioning.

Now the team is almost ready but still, there are many problems on the way as their guard player Roger Pogoy is out due to injury that he suffered during the game. Due to this, the team management decided to take Slaughter as a replacement to complete the rosters for the national basketball team. Even if Slaughter is not that quick compare to Pogoy but he can work on the defensive side as he has the height and capacity to defend scoring attempts from opponents.

Still, the team does have good guards and I think the addition of Greg Slaughter is a good call for the team as he can really be a good asset for the team's chance of getting gold.
