add 2-3 imports and they’re good to go..
They need more bigmen IMO. Most of their players are just in the 6'1 to 6'2 range

2 years in the US doing nothing but play basketball including 3-4 months with GLeague talent and yet you still endorse the "development" story? LOL
Castro develops his shooting and playmaking skills in PBA. He is definitely a special player and has been an import with Singapore Slingers but still raw and mostly use his quickness to beat defenders. He became multi-faceted in PBA.
Kai played actual basketball competitions with GLeague talent?
Only a matter of time before the next Pinoy scrub gets their contract torn up from their Japanese team. My money is on Kobe getting terminated next.
if this happen, my God he has fallen very far, from a 4 star recruit to getting cut, damn, red shirting and returning to the Philippines to play for UP screwed his development
No, it's on Kobe. He is not adjusting on anything. Dwight, Rayray, Kiefer and Thirdy know their respective roles in their teams. Kobe apparently not so. Even Rayray and Kiefer, who both are PBA stars, know that they are just mere role players for Nagoya and Shiga, respectively. Kobe should bear that in mind. He should think like a role player and fill up the what is lacking on his team.
true, he is also accountable, damn he wasted all that talent, plus his reluctance to learn/adjust, at this point he should have realized that the world (any team he plays for) does not revolve around him and he needs to adjust his playing style.
If Humphries doesn't come back next season, for sure they will get an import big in the mold of John Mooney type.
Kai's projection is this year a lot of DNP or spot minutes, next year 5-15 mins.
I still think Kai and his team will request to be released from the Adelaide contract and he will sign in a low quality Asian league, where his level of play will be more suitable to get adequate playing time.
Kai will have a long career in the Asian Basketball leagues, his body, skill level, work ethic is not up to scratch for European, Australian or American Professional Leagues.
Back in the late 2010's some of the posters here compared Japeth Aguilar to Chris Bosh. I think Kai is better than Japeth at 20. Let's see if he gets some major playing time in his 3rd game.
Kai and his camp tried to emulate the Lamelo Ball and Josh Giddey route towards the NBA.
The problem is that it is very obvious that Kai is not an NBA talent and would always struggle to play against seasoned veterans in a legit pro league. He and his camp should of realised this fact after his failure at Gleague Ignite.
It is very clear now why no team in the NBL offered to sign Kai to be part of the NBL Next Star Program. A pathway created specifically for actual potential NBA Draft prospects, something that sadly Kai is not.

I think we all saw JGDL had issues with his attirude before and he looked like he was arguing with his coach one time. He's a fighter and doewsnt want to lose but maybe his pride got the best of him. humnbleness is needed all the time. Do what the coach asks and if you fail, don't point yoiur fingers to anyone. Accept your weaknesses and move on. Things arent goinna be smooth sailing in this world. Im not saying this is really what happened.. Just my general thoughts.
I hope that being cut will somehow keep JGDL grounded, same applies for all our heavily hyped young prospects, always be humble
I believe that for Asian players that are aspiring to play in the NBA someday, he has to play first in Asian leagues (T1, BLG, KBL or PBA) to assess first their overall game. If a player is not good enough to play at this level, are we going to believe that he atleast G-League-material?
Kaya nga from the get go, I know that Japeth will not be able to crack a spot in Sta. Cruz Warriors because he was just average in his TNT stint and was lagging behind RDO, Kelly Williams, Harvey Carey and Ali Peek in terms of playing time.
Parks was a rotation guy at Texas Legends playing about 13 MPG. I can say he is atleast G-League-level. Look, how he fared in his ABL, PBA, and BLG. He is really that good.
Had Kai, at age 18, tried B.League first, he could have assessed himself whether or not he is ready to move up to the next level (G-League).
