Kareem Abdul Jacul este Jabbar has stationary and often has a back to the basket position before he shoots the Skyhook

which is at his time were pretty much unstoppable that is why he's the NBA all time scoring leader because of that.

Kai Sotto's penetrating before shooting a running/sweeping right Skyhook is GODLIKE for me haha. That's a 2.0 version of Kareem's Skyhook.

I don't think anyone can stop Kai's shot without fouling him haha.

Wemby's running/floater shooting 3 point is LEGENDARY. That's a 2.0 version of Tracy Mcgrady's shot haha.

That's unguardable baby. Defenders were even taking away his space but still make those running/floater from 3 point area lol

These two young bball players are gonna slay opponents with those moves.

Honestly nanlaki mga mata ko when I saw Kai doing those running/moving Skyhook from a penetrating position..

I see greatness brewing in Kai right now haha

Hopefully he gets more 4th qtr and crunch time minutes..

Kai doing a second time shows that the first one is not a fluke

Dyan nanlaki mata ko that second one that was off a dribble penetration sweeping/running skyhook bank shot lol

That was GODLIKE move haha for me

Can't stop/block those kind of shot especially from a 7'3" guy haha
 
I say, why not Kai do it more often during back-to-the-basket plays?

At Adelaide, Kai won't have much opportunities of back-to-the-basket plays, but with Gilas, I think he has that enough opportunities.

Do you think Kai Will be a Starting Center for Adl Next Season or in the near future?

If not, Maybe Kai can play for other NBL team that he is more needed.

Anyway, I am glad Kai got 17 mins tonight. Though, I would have hoped he is given a chance in the 4th

I saw Kai doing post up and skyhook but was ineffective since physically he was still easily pushed and the defender easily took his

space and his balance when Kai attempted the Skyhook.

This new version of Kai's skyhook off the dribble penetration is more effective since the bigs/center defending Kai is not that mobile

to time Kai's penetration and take out his space/balance. You could see that Kai created enough space on those attempts

and the defender's hand was far from reaching the ball even Kai's face haha. And the defender can't impose their stronger mature bodies since

Kai was a lot faster when using those skyhook than when Kai is in a stationary and post up position before doing the skyhook.

Kai needs to improve his defense and needs to have more hustle.
Reason being is that he?s having hard time to position himself to box and get those rebounds.
And again, there?s some instances he?s only at one place waiting for the lob.
I believed kai?s ticket is his defense to gain more interest to some other teams if he plans to move out of Adelaide.

As long as Kai can create enough space whether in a stationary/post up or off the dribble penetration before shooting skyhook

then that will be very good go-to-move on Kai. Just enough space is the key and that's automatic on Kai with enough repetition lol

Honest answer: because he's struggling when he's posting up.
Even when he has 5 or more inches on the defender. Maybe he lacks strength trying to get to comfortable spot but he has to make quicker decisions when he's trying to post up.

He's better playing as a modern big on offense.

He was trying this move all last season, he only succeeded once when he spun away from the basket. He couldn't do it before because of a younger body and weight difference along with the physicality. Now that he's older, filled up, and suddenly has an increased motor, the stuff he did at TSF like these hook shots are more and more usable.

Look up the TSF highlights, he was doing this at the high school level in the post drive.

You are quite right and I think many people here have the same observation. To add though, no matter how in-game active he will be, it will boil down to his overall body conditioning, especially on his stamina. Kung parati syang kapos mahihirapan talaga syang makakuha ng playing time. Others will say how could he improve his stamina if he spends more time riding the bench. For me it doesn't matter. He must stay focused, outwork everyone in the gym, during training and work closely with the team's strength and conditioning coordinators and nutritionists. Ultimately, his efforts will eventually pay off.

Rhenz Abando (188cm) ties Kim Joo-Sung (206cm) and Yoon Ho-Young (196cm) for most blocked shots as a rookie with six blocks.

Kim Joo-Sung: 2003 (twice did it)
Yoon Ho-Young: 2009
Rhenz Abando: 2022

It is poetic that Abando did it against DB, where legends Kim and Yoon played.
