Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[coach cj]

Yes 2nd round draftees Besson and Travers have significant higher chance compared to Kai to make the NBA under a contract (this is well accepted).

And BTW all 3 of them have equal chances of getting injured in the future

BTW Travers is already one of Perth's main guys ( his role is much more significant than Kai)

If Maker stayed with Sydney he would be their starting Center

Besson last year was already the Breakers top gunner.

See how flawed your assessment is .

BUt none of them are worthy for FIBA World Cup level lol

Cooks and Travers have good chance of making the WC , even Besson has a chance (shooting specialist).
And all 3 are likely to be playing in the medal rounds and get more meaningful exposure compared to bottom level Asian team.

Nope hahaha

They all have zero chance on making a roster spot for the FIBA World Cup level

which Kai is a sure main center for the GILAS team and they will be up against the best bball players in the world

Tell me does your undrafted FA past event analysis have the same predicament with Kai haha

[coach cj]

Again why put cox name in the mix hahaha

Kai's category is with second round drafted and undraftee(travers,besson,maker) and age 20 to 22 college dudes haha

Cox is already gurang/matanda na haha and categorize as NBA veterans offers already

Totally different scenario with Kai and his age bracket category lol

[PaVi]

For me, Kai's performance in the FIBA WC will only be given consideration if the following circumstances are present:

1. Gilas reaches the 3rd round or the 16 teams; or
2. Gilas reaches the 2nd round or the top 24 and they beat all the top 20 teams in their groupings.

*All of these should mean that Kai will have played significant minutes like at least 20mpg.

If that happens, imho, I think its possible that he will be drafted next year.

You really don't get the concept that once you either dont get drafted or signed in your draft year (like Kai and Cooks), you automatically fall under having to make the NBA outside of the draft process . (A much more difficult route)
Kai regardless of his age is no longer going to make the NBA through the draft process, either as a drafted or signed (two way etc)
Travers , Besson , MAker all made the NBA through the draft process. (Kai and Cooks have NoT).
Again you're ignoring what happened to Kai in the draft process whee he was not invited and offered nothing., understand the implications of that and why he making the NBA is totally different than those who have yet to enter the draft . IS that so hard to understand.

He's already undrafted..

[DAdmiral]

He's already undrafted..

People not getting implications of not drafted or signed in their draft year , it Matters a lot in terms of making the NBA!, makes it so much tougher with all undrafted free agents in the same both regardless of age.

KG Canaleta re-joins the Taichung Suns as part of the coaching staff

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/kg-ca...221223-fbfirst

Gavina was elated to have Canaleta join the coaching staff of the franchise right in his first season with the Suns.

Canaleta will have his first official game as part of the Suns coaching staff on Christmas Day against the Kaoshiung Aquaa.

The Suns are currently in fourth place with an even 4-4 record.

"He's provided great insights. He has so much experience, wisdom, and knowledge to share with myself and our players here," said Gavina from Taipei on Friday night.

"We are trying to level up our level of physicality here as in the Philippines," added the former Terrafirma head coach.

Gavina and Canaleta are no strangers, having worked together back in 2016 when the KIA franchise earned its first and only playoffs berth during the Governors Cup.

"We were part of that history," said Gavina.

Canaleta's role with the Suns also include developing the bigs of the team.

"KG will also be leading the development of our bigs in regards to being able to stretch the floor the way he has done his whole career, and so that will allow me to focus on the development of our guards' playmaking," said Gavina.

Thank the heavens it's just Canaleta developing their bigs. He'll probably teach them on how to be passive and waste their God given talents and just show up every few games. He'll also show them how to win dunk contests which nobody cares about.

He's already undrafted..

Teams can outright just sign him if they're interested in him..
