Unpopular opinion, but I think the 36ers next year is best for Kai's development, and yes I think it's reasonable for him to start and play like 21 mins like last night ..

If Zhou's draft year was 2022, , I don't think he would be drafted and don't think he would make a full year NBA regular roster .

the fans loves him, he looks happy with his teammates that you don?t see on camera..

If he was bigger or taller he’d be a better defender.

his jumpshot form maybe is good looking , but my worry is he is jumping so high and is actually sailing forward towards his defenders landing zone. and this may lead him to landing on someone's foot

I was on the edge of the seat watching his game just moments ago. He missed the game-tying free throw. His 30 points has gone waste.

I think Kai is much bouncier than Zhou, even comparing them at the same age..Kai is a lob threat at the Asian region while the latter is not.

true, Kai has great bounce specially considering his height, in that aspect, he is athletic while Zhou relies more of his longer wingspan

Well, I hope that bonding and chemistry will reflect on the court.

Like Dech now are kinda more willing to pass to Kai this season than last season.

Dech was literally criticized here as the second most ballhog after Hannah's last season
Lol.

Now, I think Mitch, Dech, and DJ are the ones very willing to pass to Kai

What do you guys think of Kai's Floaters right now?

Recently, it is becoming his go to move in NBL.

That is a good arsenal to have as a 7'2-7'3 Player

In my relation to my quoted post above, there is a reason why Abando is the highest paid Asian import in Korea (his incredible jumping/blocking ability). There is a reason why Gutang was signed in Korea (athleticism and his overall utility). There is a reason why RJ was signed there (his abilities are absent to many Korean guards). There is a reason SJ was signed there (he is a good system player).

KBL knows how to scout their Asian imports better than their B.League counterparts

KBL teams personally sends scouts here to watch games,in the case of Justn Gutang, Charles Tiu tweeted before that Gutang had to battle a couple of prospects in a private scrimmage, while B. League teams just rely on players agents

Makes me wonder if Carl Tamayo is better suited for the KBL.

I don't like how our 6'2+ players outside BRP are fairing well in the B-League.

I'll think he'll get better on offense once his body matures especially on post ups. His passing is already good. His shooting is still hot or cold though.

On defense he'll only get better once he gets more reps.

Carl Tamayo should select a team with a pure passing point guard whether it is in KBL or in B.league

None, maybe Abando but his defense is suspect and he never really worked last time

At 24 yrs. of age, Abando obviously hasn't reached his peak yet. He's bound for some improvement. I think it was a wise move that Abando plays in Korea rather than plaging in the PBA. I think his potentials would be more utilized & maximized in the KBL than in the PBA.

I actually have some doubts about Abando's potential as a national team prospect before, but seeing him play like this in a foreign league like the KBL & only in his rookie year gives me some thoughts that the kid has a potential to become a Jeff Chan or a Dondon Hontiveros a few years from now. I think Abando has worked hard in improving his game. One aspect I'm seeing significant improvement is his ball handling.

I see Abando to be in the same vein of Dondon Hontiveros, James Yap and Lordy Tugade - 6'2-6'3 players with high leaping-slashing ability and good perimeter offense.

I'm hoping CTamayo will try his luck in NBL or NBL 1.

I hope so too. It might not be a move that would make the most sense financially if Carl gets locked in for the next 2-3 years, but at least it would set him up for bigger payday in the future (B. League definitely) should it happen to vastly improve his core skill set and enable him to learn a thing or two more useful skills for international basketball. Of course, that's barring any major injuries and if him and his handlers do consider such a risky career move, and too far away from home.
