Lassiter open to Gilas return

In dire need of a shooter, Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes may finally get the snipers he badly craves for after PBA commissioner Willie Marcial lifted the player limit for all teams.

And with that development, one name comes to mind: Marcio Lassiter.

Undoubtedly one if not the best shooter in the country right now, Lassiter is closing in on a possible return stint with the national team as his potential inclusion is guaranteed to be a huge shot in the arm when it comes to artillery from beyond the arc.


For now, Lassiter is just leaving everything to Reyes.

“I hope so, but it all depends on coach Chot. We’ll see what happens. When it comes, it comes,” he said.

Lassiter last played for Gilas in the 2011 Fiba Asia Championship in Wuhan, where the Philippines finished fourth.
