Lol. Cant do that in their Terittory.
Kidding aside. Kai is a nice kid. I believe he is mentally tougher than Kobe Paras or Japeth Aguilar during their failed nba path attempts.

We not so sure about that... Scouts now focusing on potential than stats alone... Josh Giddey has also not so good stats but he was drafted too high... With internet/videos already in places, Scouters already saw Kai can do...
Totally different situation, Dieng is an example of bad stats but being drafted or rated highly because of tools of what he can do with upside.
There are levels to degree of upside , Giddey and all draft picks regardless of performance were rated highly 2 months prior to draft because of their upside.
Kai's upside has already been evaluated when rating him as a prospect and he is really not high.. for what the NBA requires. It may be high for FIBA which I agree , but not the NBA (people don't get this or accept this - that even in terms of upside for the NBA Kai is not looked highly)

Tangina mo Dave. Kupal ka at Anay sa sarili mong kababayan. yun lang
Actually di na natin kababayan yan bro Wnox. They are turncoats or modern day Makapili. I really don't understand why they have the gall to flock here and promote other nationalities and degrade Filo prospects. Doon dapat sila magkalat sa pinili nilang bansa. We wont forget that OQT game of NZ and Gilas. We all knew who rat and sold Gilas on that game. Trabaho niya yan wag lang siya magkalat dito.haha
Merely talking to EWP doesn't mean they're seeking my advise or consultation. Wala naman bawal mag tanong or talk LOL

So Analyze do you want us all to believe that Chet is 100 times better than Kai based on Mock drafts? Chet is really similar to Poku but somehow Poku would have a chance to successfully transition as SF while Chet is bound to be a stretch four.haha
He would be too weak in the post and his shooting remains to be seen if guarded. He shot very poorly during his last remaining games.lol He could easily be Thon Maker or Bolbol who are both way more athletic than Chet but maybe Chet has a better Bball IQ.
Wala kaming paki sa mga MOCK WRITERS. The only comment that would matter would be from REAL NBA PERSONNEL AND TEAMS.haha All statements regarding Kai from the NBA and coaches were really good ever since. Only ESPN mock writers had been off. Produce negative statements from REAL NBA personnel regarding Kai kung wala pautot mu lang yan as always.haha
So wow your also talking to EWP, show proof of convo!haha grbe namang EWP kinakausap pa ang pinaka worst na dooms day prophet ni Kai!haha
Yung highly rank si Kai nung mga MOCK WRITERS puro na panira sinasabi mo diba it didnt change. Ako magaabang ako sa decision nila Kai sa May. Either way if they forego this year sunog ka padin but if they decide to apply then I am confident he will be drafted.hehe

JLA has fallen off the top contenders for the MVP. It is now a two man race between Bryce Cotton and Jaylen Adams. The Most Improved Player race has also been trimmed to a three man race between big mens JLA, Yanni Wetzell and Xavier Cooks.
The Rookie of the Year contenders are Luke Travers, Buol Kuol, Izaya Le’afa. Mason Peatling and Makur Maker. No Kai Sotto in the ROY contenders.
https://nbl.com.au/news/nbl22-award...Bd8ozYUHIjRO4BrpmG9S091CIIkTic56gYCSxm7Gtp4ds
No big deal. We know Kai is miles better than Makur effing Maker for example. I understand that Adelaide doesn't need Kai except for marketing purposes as many people here have mentioned, but freezing him out (and the most obvious being last game where some people here defended - makes no sense) reveals how his team feels about him.
It's curious that some IBNers (not including members like Big Cat or DAdmiral) don't have any issues with it. If you want Kai to show his stuff then you should also be mad that he's getting frozen out. He can't show his stuff if he can't get the ball, he has no issues defensively, it's the Adelaide guards who can't effing defend a PNR which leaves their big man on an island. Rudy Gobert can relate being on a team that regularly fizzles out in the 2nd rd because of it.

Kai Sotto Top 5 NBL BEST GAMES SO FAR
(Main Stats only)
1. 14 pts, 7 rebs
2. 12 pts, 5 rebs
3.12 pts, 4rebs, 1 ast
4. 12 pts, 4 rebs, 1ast
5. 12 pts, 2 rebs, 1 blk
Those are his double digit scoring outputs.
Hopefully later and on Sunday. It will be another double scoring output. Or at least a good showing both offensively and defensively.
Kai is being developed in NBL in the sense of playing against Grown Men and Veteran Players (mostly magugulang)
He will only go better as time and games goes along.
I don't think Bairstow will return yet. But Kai will probably get his usual 15-19 mins off the bench to show off.

That's why I have zero respect for those two. I've had hearted arguments with several others as well but i move on after a while, specially if i was at fault or i overreacted. But, these two, and a couple others, they don't deserve respect, mga kupal tlga e
Did I wrote something bad on Kai? Did I wrote something bad on you? Did I use foul language on Kai or on you? I never did. I never disrespected a fellow poster.
Can’t you take constructive criticism that’s why you resort to name calling and foul language? I posted that news article from the NBL site because they are factual which keeps track of Kai’s performance including the NBL individual awards including the ROY where Kai was a contender early in the NBL season. But recently has fallen off the ROY race.
May I remind you again this is the Kai Sotto Thread where anything and everything about Kai Sotto can be discussed including his NBL games, Gilas duties, NBA Draft chances and the like.

The amusing thing is the big cat , merely post mocks or reports of interest of NBA scouts, or articles from NBL or rookie rankings , yet it is viewed as insulting.. Oh well..
Like I said people are not actually questioning other peoples opinion, but they are literally against the reports of ratings from media.. and others posting it. It's totally silly. Even positing what the CBA states , is viewed as arrogance opinion.. LOL , it's not even my opinion, but it is what is written in documents and reported on LOL

those two turnovers at the start shows how raw Kai is especially when it comes to strength and ball control.

As always, Kai needs to work on bulking up this offseason to avoid freak turnovers.
I don't know what the PER Kai got for this game, but from the eye test alone, whenever he was in the 36ers were doing well in this game. Maybe because they're finally moving the ball around 5 people? At least Coach CJ can make adjustments.

It's because people already know what to expect, I suppose?
Kai isn't ready to be a 2022 NBA Draft Pick.

If Kai wont enter this years draft, does he have a chance to get picked in 2023? Or even 2024?

Kai looked athletic on those 2 alley oop dunks last game, it'll be great if he has the leaping ability of a Japeth. I wonder who is more athletic at the age 19/20 Japeth or Kai??

How did he do in the game?
Offensively average, defensively well. He missed less assignments than shots, and we finally saw the team pass to him multiple times, even if he dropped 2 passes early on. Kai was positively influencing this game whether through his defense or offense, he was switching right, deflecting passes, altering shots, finding the right guy, etc.
This game could have been won if Kai wasn't missing his shots. His opponents know to shove him all the time to keep him off his rhythm because once you play honest defense with Kai a performance like the one where he scored 14 will happen.

i would almost agree. kai only got 6 pts & 4 rebs against tasmania who had no tall, legit bigman. same as last week when they met sem phoenix w/ no legit bigs got 4 pts & 5 rebs.
if kai shows up tom against brisbane with the same mediocre and lackluster game the window for him to be drafted will close.
