But, Hukporti was the MVP, perhaps they saw the ceiling while they saw the potential in Sotto

Iba lang din talaga yung upside ni Kai. Superskilled, athletic, highbball IQ, 7'3 and a body that would develop after a few years. His current strength is already able to defend bigs as humongous as Nathan Jawaii. Kai is really a unique and cant miss propect for real NBA teams. Im looking forward to the end of the NBL season.

7'3 is 7'3. You cannot teach height. Hukporti projects as a high level role player/glue guy at best.

not only is he 7'3, but a skilled 7'3 at that. there have been a lot of 7'3 and above players and most of them have been slow, lumbering, bruiser types. kai *could* be much more than that.

I am wondering about the status of Lester Prosper. Is he considered an Asian import or a world import?

The Taiwanese character, which is close to Kanji, indicates "outside", so that's World import i assume. Artino has similar character classification as Canaleta and Heading.

Artino, KG, and Heading are considered as third category (Asian import/naturalized player).
 
Kiefer meted out a 1-game suspension and ¥50,000 fine for unsportsmanlike foul.

He's better off playing there banging bodies with 2 world imports than stuck in the PBA playing midgets. Will he be considered as an Asian import though? Baltazar and Tamayo really needs to play there. Don't really care about the win loss records of what team they're playing for, just focused on how they develop against real competition and get that cash.

I think Tratter should have started abroad. He could have developed into a combo forward instead of a pure big. Sayang. As for Asian import, yes, he is. He's Gilas-eligible, and he has played for the national team.

Agreed also re: Tamayo and Baltazar. I think they should go there to be used as forwards rather than centers, different from what will happen if they would go to the PBA first. Hopefully Justin Arana can get his papers together and go Japan first.

I've been advocating for our international-sized bigs and wings to go abroad first so they can develop into the positions that they should be playing.

It's quite a waste that many good sized pinoy forwards wasted most of their career in a league that only produces fun sized guards isn't it? Especially Erram and Rosario, Rosario was quite a monster in Gilas back in 2015-16, then got turned into a bano in the PBA who didn't know how to utilize him, that's very likely what will happen to Baltazar if he plays there. Tamayo will end up like Erram, a bruiser type that won't be able to maximize his skills because physicality is all that's expected of him. Hopefully PBA will get it's shit together with Tolentino and Oftana, Tolentino has the makings of what looks like a decent swinger, Oftana should just go to Ginebra to play with Brownlee and Tolentino lol, the only decent PBA when it comes to development of players who aren't pabidang "stars" and high volume scorers like Romeo.

Still though I don't think the PBA will make anything out of Baltazar and Tamayo, it's just too insular and uncompetitive for their size and skillsets, they should head out pronto. The biggest factor in turning Rosario and Erram into what they are now is insularity and uncompetitiveness imo, that's why it don't really matter if Chot puts in his all into turning them into something more, it's not a player problem, it's an environment problem. To really remedy the insularity and the bano epidemic that's ravaging pinoy forwards PBA needs to implement the 2 import rule and attract other Asian talents instead of trying to maximize its influence in its small pond, hell it's not even a pond it's a god damn puddle lol. By the time they realize this they'll be as relevant as the local leagues of our neighboring SEA countries.

Tratter started in a US junior college. It just didnt work out the way he wanted it to. Personally as long as they try their luck at a higher level, we can't blame a player if it didnt work out.
