Now, they’ve an opportunity to win one in a global stage as Cone has been tapped to guide Gilas Pilipinas within the Asian Games slated for later this month in Hangzhou, China whereas Brownlee is tipped to strengthen the squad.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing him on that stage.”
Cone, although, stated that Brownlee remains to be recovering from the foot damage he sustained weeks in the past throughout coaching with the nationals. Still, the multi-titled PBA coach stated he’s anticipating to have Brownlee round once they see motion within the Asiad.
“I spoke to him, he’s still recovering from his surgery but he’s back on the court and he wants to play. And he will play in the Asian Games. We are assuming he’s gonna be 100 percent,” Cone added.
“Even if he’s not 100 percent, he is still a huge help.”
Gilas is bunched in Group C and can tackle Bahrain on September 26 earlier than slugging it out towards SEA Games rival Thailand on September 28. The Filipinos will shut out the preliminaries towards Jordan on the thirtieth.
