yes its "AND". they planned it all along. if he was high in the mock drafts, they will just prove to the NBA that he graduated last year (all of us or almost all of us thought he graduated right?) like thon maker. savvy move to avoid backlash

originally I thought he graduated at ateneo before he left, until news surfaced months ago that he graduated just last yr in the US..hmm clever move
 
Kai always exceed our expectations eversince. If you expect him to be muscled like larry johnson, jumps like howard and run like stromile swift then you will be bound to be frustrated. If you see him as a kid who grinds and improving every year then you would be please.

Espn and draft sites doesnt really dwell a lot of time checking each prospects except for mainstream players. I would really be worried if the comments would be from NBA teams.

i hope they have a new coach or go to a new team if his team is demoted to division 2.

San-en will not be demoted to Div 2. There was something in the system daw, and what will happen is that the top team from Div 2 will be ranking up to Div 1.

my understanding is that kai is automatically eligible even if he just graduated this year and even if he just turned 19 this year, provided that he has played as a professional player. but then he did not play his contract with ignite. so no automatic eligibility.

Interestingly, holmgren is also expected to join the draft that year. Unless he decides he’s not ready yet

We will now have a better gauge on both prospect. I will put more merit on Kai who would be playing against pros over chet against college players. A similar performance for both would really invalidated Givony's take on Kai.

i thought palit? two will be demoted, while two from division 2 will go take their slot.

even if he did, he will probably need a year or two of additional HS (di naman sya umabot ng senior hs)

I think i found the stipulation on why Kai is automatically eligible for 2022 and not 2021 .

Look at statement below


"Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class."

Kai unlike his ignite teammates only graduated from a US high school this year 2021. not 2020. so one year removed is 2022!

ang alam ko e 19 or one year removed from HS...provided he has played a professional contract. no gleague, no eligibility.

Special Restricted Player

What is this?

Overseas player from selected list of countries. Right now: China, Philippines, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Singapore and Japan.

How does it work?

These players are treated the same as a local player. Their contracts are not counted under the salary cap.


The special restricted player rule included "a select number of Asian countries that the NBL has selected as possible areas to market the NBL and bring more supporters in from outside of the Australian or New Zealand market. Those countries have changed slightly over time but are currently China, Philippines, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Singapore and Japan."

Up to this point, the exception has been rarely used. Tai Wesley and Earnest Ross, natives of Guam, have previously been on rosters under the rule, but due to the aforementioned changes, are now treated like imports.

We also saw the signing of Makoto Hiejima for the 2018/19 season, but the Japanese national team member played only one minute all season, in what was a failed experiment for the Brisbane Bullets.

There's also 19 year old Terry Li (Li Tian Rong), development player for the New Zealand Breakers, who is going into year two of a three-year deal with the New Zealand Breakers.

We've seen Amritpal Singh, the star big man of India's national program, play for the Sydney Kings in the 2017/18 season. After impressing in the NBL Next Gen Camp, Singh was picked up and played 127 minutes for the Kings.

Lastly, Melbourne United signed Japanese national Yudai Baba for the 2020-21 NBL Season. Baba has been signed as a Special Restricted Player and is classified as a local player on the Melbourne United roster.

I just realised the info you sent answered a question i had... Kai was actually offered to the Breakers... which was turned down,, now we know why, Asian import spot was taken... hmm

anyway i think this is excellent for Kai's development ... the only think i would advise , it's let's be patient with Kai, the NBL is not an easy league to play in.. 2020 draft pick RJ hampton as an example, played limited minutes and struggled to compete vs older players...

He'll have to get used to physicality. Aussies are known for being physical. This should help him develop a motor too.

True, Jordan Heading chose the PBA/Gilas Draft because he couldnt make the NBL.
