The blowby isnt alarming. It is normal to get blowbys. Kai these days doesnt really scout his opponents tendencies on offense. He gave prosper the baseline which was also prosper's strong side. The adjustment should be that Kai deny the baseline and let prosper dribble using his right. For sure mahihirapan si prosper if he opted to go right because he is left handed. Easy adjustment madali lang dapat yun. Just give prosper the right side always and deny the left. That is what Kai needs to learn. During BWB he also gave the baseline to a player whose strong side was his right and same thing happened. It resulted to a blowby. Pero yang mga ganyan need lang adjustments and scouting opponents tendencies. Kai should also need to be mentored by a defensive big na mautak para he will be superb on defense.

Now think about this scenario what if the PBA had a similar set up meaning
20 % bigs mostly American
20% Asian import forwards / or former African foreign college students
60 % Pinoys mostly 1, 2, 3
Question would the year round exposure with guys like Baltazar forced to play 3/4 , and not mainly 5 make us better

This is alarming if GIlas will play him at 4 all the time,he can never keep up with 6'9-610 agile PFs,heck even Japeth do this alot against the Asian centers.If they really want Kai to play more than 3 years in the NBA without injuries,then accept that people who really tall are have more feet and knee injuries in the NBA,specially people over 7'2,giants are not meant to play very long at that level.

Regarding the clip. Prosper got him good but I wouldn't really put too much into it since we didn't see the whole game. Even Gobert mskes a lot of lowlight clips and he's considered elite

With regards to the blow by, it’s really something kai has to learn from and I’ll leave it to his trainers.

Yup, his feet placement during that prosper jab step was terrible. It should be that his feet should be outside prosper's and not inside. It didnt help that he tried to poke the ball. Kai is a great shot blocker but he really needs to improve his defensive stance. His feet should be way apart so that he could easily change direction.
He really needs a defensive coach to mentor him. I think Kai could emulate Gasol and Jokic. He is even quicker and athletic than both of them.

For the Serbian mentor, Sotto's move Down Under can do more for the Filipino teen's development than a stint in the NBA G League, which he said was a wrong fit for Sotto from the very start.
"I think that the G League is too strong at this moment for Kai Sotto. He's not that athletic enough for the G League and the G League is specifically for guards. I was watching a lot of games, looking for the players, and that was a league for the small players because everybody of them are looking for their NBA contracts and they don't give the ball to the big guys that much," he said.
That's in contrast to the style of play in the NBL, which has produced more than its fair share of top big men bannered by Aussie players Andrew Bogut and David Andersen, just to name a few.
"That's a very strong league with excellent domestic players. They have not-so-high-level Americans but very good American players nevertheless," the Indonesia national team head coach said.
Toroman, who boasts experience coaching pro teams around Europe as well as in China with the Henan Dragons (now Shanxi Guotou Loongs) and Tianjin Ronggang Pioneers, and in the Philippines with Petron and Barako Bull, also thinks that Sotto playing in the Australian professional league will give the 7-foot-3 center the necessary confidence to match up with bigger foes.
"I think that was the best move in this moment for Kai Sotto, to try to find the confidence in this kind of league with very strong and very good big guys. He will need the time, but that's a very competitive league," he said.

That article just validates the observations of us here that ignite team was guard driven and they dont pass to their bigs. Regarding the athleticism comment, I think Kai athleticism was at par with OKC's gleaguer Moses Brown. He might not be a super athlete but his athleticism is decent and sufficient for the NBA.
