Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[thatweirdguy2]

Nope wasn't 6'6, PBA measured Jamshidi to only 6'2 3/4, that's why he passed the 6'3 height limit on Asian imports that PBANO set in place, his height in FIBA is probably wrong just like everything else there, that's why he's the only Iranian player who ever played here. Without that midget rule made by some insecure virgin, guys like Jakrawan and Geramipoor would probably be playing here instead of Taiwan and giving coddled babies like Japeth and Fajardo some real fucking competition, those guys would be more developed players. I'm honestly trying my best to hold off a racist tirade against the chekwas that run the PBA, these guys might as well be CCP spies by how well they pull the leg of this league down to the fucking ground, I'm starting to doubt that these are ineptitudes instead of actual malice for this country and the betterment of its people.

Wasn't Daghles also measured a lot smaller than anticipated? Well my opinion on the matter is kapag gusto may paraan. Height limits only applies to farm and independent teams

No all NBL scouts who visited actually confirmed who they were watching.. and the purpose of who they were watching in the arena .No NBA scout is quoting who they will select LOL , Media is just reporting who is receiving calls (anonymous)

The feedback intel from interviews with real NBA scouts (obviously not identified) confirms the consistency of mocks within range (e.g . Who is in top 5). And further who is still in reasonable 5% probability chance of being drafted (around 80 players identified only. Historically these mocks 3 months out are super accurate in determining who is still in the radar , the 80 prospects who will be drafted. (Not opinion but data fact of probability)

Granted Kai really has superior stats than other "overrated "prospects . What one needs to ask is why Kai's name is rarely mentioned and not publicly mentioned as rated highly or even a serious prospect. It is a valid question not to prove one is right or wrong, but simply why is it happening? (Not rated or mentioned).

Is it some kind of secret that Kai is a prospect? Note no one is quoting the teams who will make the selection.. just the calls and interest a player is receiving (anonymously from NBA teams).

Why would the 36ers and the NBL keep this growing interest on a player secret ? While blatantly promote and report on the others receiving calls (?). Note Dieng and Besson haven't even declared . The 2 actually have higher chance of not joining draft as compared to Kai. Due to classification status

Oh and for Nth time people will view this post as HATE.. think clearly if that is the intent . And think for once how citing the accurate situation and expectations, will benefit Kai more ..
Is it better for Mojave King to realize the accurate reality of him NOT being a draft prospect or to have the wrong expectations.. just think about that

Whether we like it or not, Sotto is simply not viewed as a serious and credible prospect to be drafted in the NBA right “now”. The keyword here is “now” which means there is “more room for improvement”. The Associated Press, ESPN, USA Today and even Sports Illistrated doesn’t see him as a serious prospect.

 

[allmight2]

There’s a story about Rossel Ellis and how he needs to stiffen up his body so he will pass the strict (lol) height limit measurement for imports. I think this was in the pacific rims book.

Tama!!! Overrated yan si Chet! ang totoong draft ranking:


1. Kai "Super" Sotto
2. Paolo Banchero
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.60 Ricci Rivero
.
.
.
.
.
.
100. Chet Holmgren

biased lang kasi mga puti at NBL, kasi alam nila si kai lang ang pinapanood ng NBL fans!!

 

[greenarcher2]

Dapat kasi si Kai Sotto kinuha ng Gonzaga para hindi sila na upset. Hina ni Holmgren.

 

[Rds2]

holmgren outplayed by a 6' 6" player and fouled out of the game
Cant even capitalized on a smaller defender.

Got punked by a player who average 3.2 ppg amd 2 rpg (Trey Wade)
Trey Wade scored 15 pts and grab 7 rebs (chet is his defender) and doing a good job defending chet.

I havent watched Chet lately but I dont think he has done anything to change his tweener prospect. He is not strong enough to be a front court player and not fast enough to be a backcourt player. He has had some gaudy stats though that is probably why he is seen to be no. 1. This will hit his stock but is there anybody better than him to take the no 1 spot. Smith and Banchero are not game changers either. There is no Cade or Mobley here. Maybe a Barnes or Wagner? And with how Green has struggled, teams are probably reconsidering taking on young small framed guards early.

 

[Rds2]

This is OT but for me Vic Wembayana is the potential franchise changer. Near Goberts height and length with KD mobility and some perimeter skill

Not only near. He is even taller than Gobert. Victor is 7'3.

If it's any consolation a lot NBA stars performed worse on the big dance, some didn't even get to play. And not a lot of NCAA champs made their mark in the NBA. There should be a lot of game tapes available for the GMs to base their selection.

I wouldn't pick him 1st as his build concerns me but if I'm picking third or lower I'm picking him.

To be fair those last two fouls on Holmgen were questionable. Specially the 5th foul. Holmgren jumped straight up and the guard just jumped into him. That wouldnt be called in Fiba.

 

[Rds2]

Not only near. He is even taller than Gobert. Victor is 7'3.

Forgot he was taller. Gobert is a bit longer with a 7'8.5-7'9 wingspan, to Wenbanyamas 7'8.5. he is coming from a shoulder injury though. His coach wants him at C but his body looks more like a PF to me. But he looks much quicker than Chet not to mention longer and taller. He ate Chet alive in their Fiba matchup.

his stat in euroleague other than shotblocking is mediocre, but I wil gave it to him because he is playing against grown men just like kai. If you consider tha competition that is already a good stat for a young kid in grown man's league.

20 GP, 5.75 ppg, 32% FG(2.25/7), 17.5% 3FG (0.5/2.85), 72% FT, 4.10 rpg, 0.45 apg, 0.5 spg, 1.5 bpg in 16 mpg playing time.

For a 7 footer he loves to shoot 3s with almost 3 attempts per game but only shot 17%.

Paano yan 17% lang?haha napakaimportante pa naman yan sa mga negatrons na mataas ang shooting.haha wla pa naman yang post presence si victor puro lang turnaround fadeaway tulad ni Porzingis. itutulak lang yan for sure sobrang unreliable niyan sa post. Kung sobrang low percentage sa labas at ban-ban sa low post pano pa upside niyan? pagdi lumakas katawan niyan thon maker or bolbol labas niyan. If he will have a decent body, then maggobert nalang kasi sobrang limited sa offense.haha

Wala nang nagdedefend kay Holgrem sa IBN. Ayan kasi over reliance sa DRAFT ANALYST!haha writer lang talaga mga couch fans pa.haha grabe pa naman bilib ng mga negatrons diyan sobra pang sablay!haha NEXT KD pa more, the great white hope naging great white disappointment.haha Kai Sotto way way better than CHET! wala kaming paki sa mock draft!haha

Baka gusto niyu magpredict ako kay Webanyama?haha Walang dribble yan sobrang taas ng dribble.haha kaya di masyado magagamit faceup. Kung di yan lalakas thon maker or bolbol bagsak niyan.hahaha

He was coming off an injury. Look at his most recent game, which is also his best game. Playing that well in the 2nd best league in the world is no joke. He blocked everything. In the paint, in the 3 pt line. He shot 3 pointers with ease. Jumpers, not set shots. He also passed well. And he also drove well. At this point he is better at PF. Heck he can even guard the perimeter with ease for a 7'3 guy. He has Durant like quickness and explosivenes which you cant say for Chet.

 

[PeeZones2]

what is good with Victor is that he isn't afraid of contact and has been playing against way tougher competition eversince. He will gain valuable bball IQ and he would have an above average assertiveness/confidence over his age group.

Tama ka (B1)uddy Peezee!!! Vindicated ka na!!

eto para sa mga Negatrons at kay BIASED na Mike Schmitz

 

[PeeZones2]

At tayo pa nga ang tinawag na delusional
Ilan na yng itinapat nila kay Kai na mga bust pala? Ang dami na. Hndi kasi mga nag iisip, sakay ng sakay sa PR ni Givony

Over-reliance sa mga couch bball writers.hahaha sunog na sunog mga negatrons.haha buti di umabot sa michigan at arizona ang Gonzaga.haha mas malalakas frontline diyan mas maoverkill sana si Chet Holgrem.haha Pero expected naman na maaupset Gonz.haha
Saan na yung GU forum!Haha kung si Kai kinuha malamang magchampion pa!haha ano ba naman yung Arkansas na Bigs 6'9 at 6'6 kay Kai!haha

 

[Juan Lun2]

paolo banchero displaying his usual all-around offensive game of creating, passing and shooting. duke advances

Banchero is making a case of being the number 1 pick. Holmgren's offense being affected by the physicality and speed of the game (sweet 16 is like the playoffs in the NBA, really different from regular season), for me his last few games doesn't affect his draft stock, (scouts already know his strength and weakness beforehand)

 

[zairex2]

Measuring today is more accurate because your measured lying down.
I watch Jamshidi game. He could make a 3pt shot. He like 0 for 16 and his drive weren't effective. I don't know the reason why he actually left but he definitely wasn't helping Meralco on offense and defense. But again he is new so expect that as PBA is a lot different than FIBA

 

[PeeZones2]

Pasalamat si Chet nakamatchup kay timme yung mas malaking player.

Di ako magtataka if maging late lottery to late first round si chet unless sobrang weak ang draft class. Di ko kasi nacheck yung ibang prospects.

Too glaring yung hirap siya laban sa 6'6 na college player, bobo nung mga NBA scouts if di nila marecognize na hirap si Chet sa malalakas sa age group niya then pano nalang sa NBA yan.lol

Obvious namang mas magaling si Kai keysa kay Chet.hehe nadaan lang sa overhype na great white hope next KD.haha sobra namang malayu.
