Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

so disappointing. JLA, Duop Reath, and Makur Maker have made SL teams meanwhile our boy is nowhere to be found.

i just cant fathom how his ohio training is more better than fiba asia cup. wtf. even if the competition is not SL level but damn its still competitive games with naturalized players against him.
 
blame chot for obviously sending signals to Navarro that he will not be part of the 2023 team. Troy Rosario pa more!
 
They 100% deserve it. If they had enforcable contracts, maybe players would stay. Its something we really need anyway, professionals before 5/6 years in college.

Wonder how will UAAP/NCAA schools counter this trend, They could pretty much do nothing right?
 
the school can ask the ballclub for a fee - for all the benefits the player received while he was part of the varsity team.

That would require player contracts as well as the entire facade of the UAAP being an amateur league being thrown out the window. Dont know the repercussions of this.

FEU and Ateneo were fine with their players leaving early, though.

As for the other schools, I dunno yet.
 
obviously QH, PBA and SBP are too foreign about the idea of player’s playing abroad..

studies can finish later in life.. lots of athletes are doing this..

well, by analogy, we can use the situation of scholars who opted to not finish their studies in a particular school and decided to leave or transfer. the school asks these scholars to reimburse all of the benefits they have received during the run of their scholarships.

i know some people that were under this set-up.
 
Baseless assumption of yours or from the 30 NBA teams? :o

No assumption at all, the 30 teams have spoken verified by none of the 30 teams offered him an invite .
No one knows for sure the reason for rejection, but most likely cause they didn't want to offer a spot to a player who's agent already declared he was committed to play elsewhere (Asia cup) and looked difficult to work with (citing they're not interested in a two way contract etc ).
Who knows for sure if he would have gotten an invite if his agent was easier to work with and didn't misspoke. (I think he would actually been invited if his camp was desperate to just give it a shot with no conditions)

After all that has happened leading to draft , it verifies the truth, Kai was really a long shot draft prospect (not serious), and how way of many here are .
Recently Kai realesed a video of him doing lateral and change of direction drills in a football field , anyone with an eye , would spot why he wasn't drafted just looking at it (it's verification)

A few facts.
1..Kai is at best a fringe player competing with many to tryout for a team
2 fringe undrafted players really are in no position to demand ,

3 the SL has standard set pay , SL deals are not negotiable. It's take it or leave it.

4. It follows that each player representative is in communication with teams that they're trying to get a deal with. Obviously the teams know the sentiment and conditions communicated by agents for their clients . Like no team will invite Cooks if he already communicated he wants a guaranteed deal not a try out, via summer league.

A fringe player who's agent is demanding like Kai does not fit the profile you give a SL invite to, of course don't count players who were drafted or have deals secured of course they are automatically entered into the SL

Essentially SL for those who don't have a contract yet is like a walk in tryout for school teams (obviously they at least should be invited), like school tryout walk ins, they don't have a scholarship offer deal secured yet. . It's tryout at your own risk..
It seems Kai's camp wasn't wiling to fight it out as a simple walk in, but had conditions for a secured deal in place.

Homegrown player should take ncaa route so he/she will have time to choose a good agent.

Kai’s path is messed up coz of the distraction (agent/handlers)
