It took undrafted player Yuta Watanabe 3 years of working hard and staying in the USA to get an NBA contract. If Kai ends up undrafted will he stay in the USA to realize his dreams? Will his financers continue to fund him? Will he give in to his bashers, who will label him a failure, and come home and join the PBA?

Well there's a saying that "kapag gusto may paraan". How much do he really wants to succeed? Besides I his handlers have a backup plan already in case he doesn't get drafted. I don't think they'll give up on him that easily.
I’m not bothered about what happens if kai goes undrafted because i don’t think he’ll go undrafted. Now for the sake of discussion, Of course no one knows the future for sure and if that happens, that’s EWP’s problem. If you’re worried theyd just give up on kai, im not. If they are willing to sign a 23 year old kobe paras, why shouldn’t they keep kai for a few years more. Re

Chet committing to Gonzaga.lol I wonder what those pro analyst wannabees in their forums would comment regarding his physique and strength.lol
Regarding EWP's moves these days, it seems a lot of our decent prospects were moving to them. It somehow shows that they have been doing well despite the heavy criticism in this forum. If kai would apply for this years draft, I am with you that he will be drafted. The trust given by these fil-am parents to EWP means a lot on how they handle things. It seems it is not a sinking business but instead is flourishing.

Chet Holmgren
- 6’12 big guard
- likes to handle the ball and shoot three-pointers on offense
- impressive shooter for his size with range out past the three-point line, doesn’t look anything like a traditional low post center on offense
- elite shot blocker defensively, has a natural timing on his blocks that can’t be taught, will often block multiple shots on the same possession as teams go for put-backs and second chance opportunities
- face-up big man who likes to attack the defense by putting the ball on the floor
- badly needs to add strength to his frame, Holmgren’s skill set offers a clean translation into the modern game and should be a mismatch nightmare for opponents from day one at the college level
- projected to be a floor spacer and pick-and-pop weapon in the front court on offense who can also make plays off the bounce
- should be an instant impact defender at the college level
There was a time when a high school big man with Holmgren’s size would have been told to get in the post, and wouldn’t have been allowed to handle and shoot as often as he does. In that sense, Holmgren is rising up the basketball ranks at the perfect time. He should be able to space the floor his teammates on offense as a spot-up shooter while also having the ability to take his man off the dribble and get to the rim.
NBA scouts will want to see if Holmgren is quick enough to defend on the perimeter at the college level, and if he can maintain his quickness as he begins the long process of adding muscle to his frame. Teams will wonder if his terrific shot blocking skills can hold up against drives from more powerful guards who can initiate and absorb contact at the rim.
Don't be a bitter person and jealous that a player with a smaller frame than Kai is projected to be a top 5 draftee in 2022 NBA Draft while Kai is not included in any major NBA mock Draft sites for this year's NBA draft..
Is this guy a lot better than Poku? They're of the same age and just a year older than Kai but he's playing at a tougher league
I don't think it's bitterness or jealousy on Peezones part, but just making people honest. Honestly if Chet weren't American, he'd be picked as low as Bol Bol (Rd 2 Pick 44) with his current deficiencies, and we know Bol Bol was a demigod amongst high schoolers in his area.

I think guys like Poku, Bol Bol, and Chet have a different game than Kai.
The 3 of them are Skinny and relies heavily on their Outside Shots. They never or rarely go post up or dominate inside.
Only time will tell if they will end up like KD or Thon Maker. (Same body types, Same play style, but different level of playing)
Kai is a little bit different. The closest I can think of Kai's playstyle is Jokic. (AGAIN, STYLE. I DIDN'T SAY KAI IS AS GOOD AS MVP FRONTRUNNER NIKOLA JOKIC RIGHT NOW)
Kai and Jokic have the ability to shoot the 3 and Midrange. But most of the time they go inside. Post-score or Post Playmake.
Kai has the potential to surpass Jokic's athleticism. Kai, also I think is a better rim protector.
Jokic is a better passer and scorer than Kai RIGHT NOW though. AND YES, Jokic is a better player than Kai Right now obviously
I cannot compare Kai with Porzingis. The latter have a way different play style.
Bottomline: Let's just support Kai. We are 2-3 months away before judgement day

Bol Bol is also American?
Holmgren has one big advantage over Kai, he grew upnin the US and played competitive ball in the US thus exposing him to higher level competition at a younger age unlike kai
Bol Bol is also American?
He is? I swear he wasn't.
Anyway silver lining, now you all know I don't Google stuff when talking in this forum.
