Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

I never said that , "can't get a 2 way contract after draft year "., casing point white got a 2 way contract, not in his draft year .

The concept is so simple actually, "it's as simple as it's tougher to make a NBA full.roster outside your draft year process ".
For nth time draft decisions are heavily based on upside potential ( not who is best ), while free agent undrafted recruits are based almost only on "finished product level (almost no upside factor).

Obviously there are exceptions to the norm, but this is the general rational on draft decisions as opposed to free agent recruits .
As Kai is already undrafted, his.age relative to his upside is irrelevant for a call up. NbA teams who decide to sign Kai after going undrafted or past his draft year, or much more in 2024 or 2025 are after his immediate impact contribution (no longer his upside )
This issue isn't actually debatable, but is actually common knowledge or a common school of thought.

Read your post I quoted. You specifically mentioned two way in the parenthesis.

Harder to get in is a given. Para ka lang nyan tumataya sa liyamado sa ginagawa mo. Lol Making a fuss and a debate off it while being on a side one could easily argue for. But when you play God and declare with conviction Kai getting a full contract isn’t plausible, that’s you declaring you know better than the actual people that makes the call. Saying Kai would need to through the proverbial eye of the needle is acceptable, though of course refutable. For you to outright say it isn’t plausible, that’s just you being so sure of yourself.

And just to make things clear, I was referring to your claim a few pages back, not this recent exchange with coach cj. Just saying statements like that make you come as arrogant. Anyways, Merry Christmas na lang sa inyong lahat.

Not Plausible does not mean impossible.
Any plausibility is another word for probability , any absolutely there actually is historical records on probability. And absolutely more players secure initial roster contracts via the draft every year over entering the NBA via free agents.
Citing probability or common pathway entries to correct false premise (CJ stated since many 2nd round picks don't secure contracts right away, but there are more who ) enter the NBA as an undrafted FA )this is incorrect based on history records.

Not plausible is indeed synonymous to not probable AND not possible (impossible). Consult a thesaurus if you don’t believe me. Don’t go stretching things again just to save face.

The influx of Fil-Central/South American basketball talents is a very welcome sight, especially if they're US born and bred/developed. Aside from the physical attributes (height and length due to Spanish/mestizo ancestry) fit for high-level basketball, they're not far off from us culture-wise. I think it would not be really hard for them to assimilate once they choose to stay in the PHL for pro basketball opportunities.

I have read somewhere that Latinos are pretty short (especially the Central ones with large indigenous populations). The taller ones are probably in South America with large black & white population (Brazil/Argentina)

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.

To be fair for KG, he lacked the quickness and strength to blow by defenders. He just jumped high and that's it.

Just finished watching Unrivaled Ep 3. I didn't know Kai was playing injured after FIBA.

I think Randall was portrayed too villainous, but if all those reports are true even before their NBA preseason leg, then he was the reason that Adelaide wasn't working on all gears. Not Kai, like many people here implied. Internal problems can wreck a championship-level team, ask Golden State and Phoenix.

I already mentioned before that CJ didn't have Kai in his plans at the start of the season and it was confirmed. I guess I should thank the Phoenix Suns for having Ayton and Landale to match up with Kai.

What wasn't mentioned here was Craig's apparent problem with Kai. It's info from vloggers, but when it comes to gossip they are the source to have. There's been multiple reports of Craig not really liking Kai. I'm glad our boy had the maturity to never act on it or even mention it at all. That toxic behavior will only lessen his chance to get signed to the NBA.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to IBN!

The Best Change in Kai for me last 3 games is that

"Kapal Ng Mukha". (I can't find an accurate English term)

I mean he is more aggressive and he is more decided on what will he do.

In Coach CJ system, I think you need to have that mentality to thrive in.

You mean "confidence".

We need to quit the notion that just because you can jump high doesn’t mean you are athletic.

Beal is probably more athletic than Lavine. Hayward is more athletic than Conaughton having low hips and can stop on a dime and be quick plus have body control .

Kobe is the same as KG tbh

Kobe Paras is more athletic than Canaleta tho, I feel like Kobe Paras had more dunks in his lone UAAP season than Canaleta whole UAAP career lol, not to mention Kobe Paras jumps higher off two feet and is a lot stronger.

Wow really? Could you please provide more details?

South Americans, especially the Argentines and the Brazilians, are taller while the people from the Carribeans are quite strong and athletic. Among the Central Americans, only Mexicans and maybe Panama have some decent size.

Therefore, our biggest shot of beating a team from Latin Americas is to beat Central Americans.

You're correct that is a more accurate synonymous word "not probable "
So basically common school of thought is undraftrd /uninvited in draft process is not probable /unlikely to make a regular NBA roster ever. Trying to argue that Kai will be the exception while understandable for die hard supporters , does not mean Kai is a more probable undrafted players to make it (this is flawed thinking)
