MANILA, Philippines: Expectations for the latest Gilas Pilipinas squad may be high under new coach Tim Cone, but Philippine national team manager Richard del Rosario said they took the training camp as an opportunity to 'get everyone in sync' in preparation for the international basketball wars ahead.

The latest Gilas iteration is a mixture of veteran and up and coming players that Cone selected led by seven-time PBA Most Valuable Player and many-time Philippine team member June Mar Fajardo and naturalized player Justin Brownlee.
