Coach Rajko Toroman emphasized that he prefers young players to suit up for his SMART-Gilas team. Now assuming a compromise arrangement is made with the PBA allowing some PBA players to suit up for the SMART-Gilas team, I foresee Toroman choosing the following:

1. Gabe Norwood - athletic player who can play multiple positions; great defender who uses his feet more than his hands when defending; can score if he wants to; wears his heart on his sleeve when he plays for the national team

2. Jared Dillinger - gutsy player who can penetrate the lanes; can create various offensive situations so long as he improves his passing; tall and athletic who can play defense

3. Japeth Aguilar - lanky and athletic; if taught well, he can position himself in the low blocks or can shoot from the perimeter; intiimdating shot-blocking presence in the interior; solid 6'9 player with an arsenal of low post moves

4. Ryan Reyes - heady point guard with exceptional defensive skills; can score from the outside and inside; thinking player who can act as the leader of the team

5. Kelly Williams - athletic player; can be the best offensive and defensive player of the team; great fundamental skills with a high basketball IQ; potentially the team's leading scorer

6. Solomon Mercado - great upside on this young player; can score from the outside and attack the interior with ease; his choice would depend on the number of point guards available; another player with a high basketball IQ

The rest of the team may be made up of the SMART-Gilas players that Toroman is trying to develop. Most likely leading the cast would be ace point guard Mark Barocca of FEU, with Rabeh Al-Husseini, Chris Tiu, Dylan Ababou, JV Casio, JR Cawaling as the other contenders for the remaining slots.
