The one takeaway from Gilas Pilipinas' stint in the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup is this — Terrence Romeo is ready to be the face of the men's national basketball team.

He tore up China and Iraq with his fearless shooting, then showed up South Korea in the quarterfinals Wednesday where he scored 22 points and made 6-of-9 3-pointers all during a second-quarter surge that kept Gilas within striking distance of Korea.

Even Gilas playmaker Kiefer Ravena was left dumbfounded by Romeo's Steph Curry-esque shooting display.

Too bad Romeo's will power couldn't tow the Philippines to victory, as Gilas was shown the door after a 32-point loss.

Still, his highlights are worth not just one viewing but several, because Romeo playing for flag and country is the best version of him by far.
