Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

Pinder is Australian.

Its 2 imports, 1 possible next star(any country), 1 possible Asian player(counts as local) and 7-8 locals(Aus or nz players). + 1-4 development players u24 I believe.

2022 season may go back to 3 imports which means 1 less local spot.

thought pinder american mate lol.. so he’s aussie guy..

The Tasmanian jackjumpers come in next season so another 12+ spots are up for grabs.

Tasmanian Devils could have been a better name.

No, the Tasmanian Devil is the common name of a real Australian marsupial. Warner Bros holds the copyright to the cartoon character known as the Tasmanian Devil. As long as the team doesn’t use the likeness of the actual cartoon character in their branding and merchandise, they should be safe.

The devils name was already taken by the AFL.

Other names like tridents, mountaineers, timbers, pride were the choices.

Tasmanian Tigers sounds catchy. It is paying homage to the extinct Thylacines. Besides, Melbourne no longer uses the monicker Tigers.

Tigers were also taken.

This prosper comment indicates that Kai could really run in an NBA setting. I think Prosper tried to gauge Kai's abilities. I would also assume that Kai wasn't able to showcase all his repertoire. Kai and his team is really on the right path for his development. His constant exposure to pros at a young age would make him accustom to it. He will gradually feel at ease playing with them and hopefully excel.

Very much agree with you on the last part. But in as much as Kai benefiting from the experience scrimmaging & playing pick up games with pros in the US, Kai still needs actual tournament game experience. That is why Kai's possible stint in the 3rd window & the Olympic Qualifying Tournament is also necessary for his development. Iba pa rin yung actual game experience eh.

We have to take note that Kai has yet to play in an official FIBA game in the senior level. We all know sa FIBA youth level nakapaglaro na sya ilang beses. Umabot pa nga sya sa world stage 2 times.

Stints with Gilas in the 3rd window 2021 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers & OQT in June & July, then the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup tournament proper in September would be an ideal set-up for Kai before plunging into Australia's NBL pro league with the Adelaide 36ers.

i think kai will celebrate his birthday with family before flying back to the country

[astigram]

Kai has to get back as soon as possible. He’s not going to get the minutes it he didn’t practice with gilas long enough. Might not even make the cut. And from the looks of it, he’s also badly needed. Remember how jakrawan toyed with go and baltazar. Kouame might not be enough for a strong sokor

Kai's game schedule has been ideal this year. Tbe progression from Asian teams to OQT teams and NBL would be great. The difficulty on each stage was gradual. I think Kai will be back here for Gilas mid or end of this month. Based on Tab and Panlilio's statements, they would want Kai to train at least 1 month prior to games. Their press releases were subtle pressures same as what they did last year that lead to the Ignite debacle.
