One of Indonesia talented young player, Derrick Michael, 17 years old, 205 cm. He is African mix blooded and will be very helpful if he can improve his shoot and dribble and then play in power forward position. Indonesian national basketball team has already got two capable center with 209 and 205 centimeter high, but the team strength will be boosted if we have forward above 200 centimeter, currently our power forward players only have 195 cm height.
He is part of national team but he hasnt been part of team that play in FIBA Asia Cup window two in Dubai in December. We will see whether coach will give him opportunity to play at FIBA Asia Cup window three in Philippine. It will be interesting to see current team to play against Philippine and South Korea.
When he played in High school competition, he used to play in Center position but after he join national team there is attempt to make him play in power forward and improve his dribble and shot.
This is when he played one on one with one of Indonesian professional basketball player, Kelly Purwanto, who play in guard position.
Derrick Michael is part of 12 players that will be played in third window, this February, in Qatar. Philippine cancels its hosting right due to on going pandemic.
Muhammad Sandi Ibrahim, 188 cm, 24 years old, join the team. He is the new guy in the team.
