the silver lining here is that at least there's still takers for kai - so the dragonflies basically are selling kai to another team?
i already had a bad feeling when the dragonflies signed a naturalized player, that was a clear sign that kai won't be in the lineup
snippets from the SPIN article:
But just like in Australia, where playing time was a hindrance to his improvement (15.5 minutes per), the Dragonflies also held back Sotto's growth, giving him only 19.1 minutes per game.
The Dragonflies, meanwhile, had grown increasingly disappointed with Kai's continued absence, sources told.
Hence, the mutual agreement to separate.
This latest twist in Kai's story doesn't alter the path toward achieving his ultimate dream.
"He has a full-time trainer now. We expect him to play 30 minutes a game in his new team. We still want him to gain 15 pounds of muscle. He is only 21 and the window is still wide open to make it to the NBA," one of his reps told me.
seriously, playing time is earned not given. and 19 minutes for a pro team is not spot minutes. if kai wants to play 30 minutes that means he has to really outplay a world import for the main bigman role.
hope he ends up in a team that has a shallow center rotation and has no world import manning the slot. if he ends up with a team that has an established world import big his minutes will go down for sure.
