Gilas Pilipinas coach Tim Cone sees Ange Kouame as a crucial backup for naturalized player Justin Brownlee. Kouame joined the training camp in preparation for the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers but isn’t expected to play unless Brownlee is unavailable. Cone emphasized Kouame’s role in preparing players like June Mar Fajardo for matches against larger opponents. Cone also anticipates the naturalization of Bennie Boatwright, though his eligibility is delayed. While Boatwright recovers from an Achilles injury, Kouame remains pivotal in ensuring Gilas’ roster depth.
