Wasn’t the plan was to finish HS in the US? that’s why they “paid” to get into TSF? looks like the reason he didn’t finish his stint at TSF was because they signed up with Ignite.

Yes but Ignite is supposedly for high school graduates, (they even offer college classes for Ignite players) , kai entered Ignite in late 2020 (supposedly as a high school graduate) , then all of a sudden when this draft automatic eligibility rule was realized, Kai's camp suddenly had a change of information status that he hasn't graduated from high school yet ( so not 1 year removed from graduating in 2021) , basically it's highly dodgy , no one really knows what to believe anymore from their camp..

whoever will be the next Filipino "Unicorn" should do opposite of whatever Kai and his camp is doing.

Plus avoid stepping the ball (japs), choose ncaa path (brp jr.) Avoid middlebrooks (kobe), avoid OTE.. those are the things the next pinoy baller should avoid..

cant blame BRP though, Dad was already diagnosed with cancer by the time he was supposed to enroll in Memphis(?). We should also include avoid partying too much (Kobe) to the list

Is that why Japeth's WKU stint was so injury plagued? He injured himself stepping on a ball?

this has been bothering me for a decade, how do you accidentally step on a basketball? those things are big. Or Japeth stepped on a smaller ball?or due to his height, a basketball to him is relatively small?

LOL maybe his supporters here can enroll themselves, their kids, nephews, nieces, dad, lolo, dogs, etc. as a show of solidarity with "The Kaiju"

And support Joel Bell who obviously has a cut? No thanks, it would be pointless. Kai can do well even without that sunk cost.

His supporters here can just buy his jersey again once he returns to the NBL.

Kobe's major problem wasn't partying too much, though it's part of the problem. Kobe's major problem was that he assumed he was in the NBA already and fell in love with his athleticism and forgot to put in the work in the gym. IG stories mean nothing, he has the same problem as Dwight Howard where he's taught different moves yet on the court he goes back to his previous arsenal.

6'7" to 6'9" iirc

anyway this is unfortunate. i haven't been following basketball news lately and just saw kai not playing in the summer league or fiba games. i still think he's good enough for a summer league spot. his team messed this up badly.
