Originally posted by cocoyg View PostI don't get why others are blaming SBP? With so many invited players not joining the Calamba bubble, Kai not joining it would be a non issue. Also he is just 18 and still too "soft" for Philippine basketball standards (how pinoys prefer to play the game). It's not like Gilas will live and die with Kai.
It seems to be a completely EWP blunder. 2 poor performances in scrimmages and they're scared s**t that Kai won't get drafted. They should have been patient as Kai grows in the 15 games of Ignite. He will get his touches as he and his teammates get to know each other. But they choose Gilas to impress the scouts with three games against Korea and Indonesia.
Can't blame others for breaking down with how emotionally invested they are with Kai's NBA journey.
PeeZones will be Anonymous 123 version 2 with the way things are going.
Kidding aside, Kai's camp should really study their move. Most pro leagues run from October-April. May-September is a big vacuum for them. Only few leagues are running in that months and that INCLUDES the PBA.Attack

August is a very long time. And it may even coincide with Combine.
I don't know if 3rd window will be even played. If it is scheduled around April May. Then ok.
Just not now, with no sched.
Anyway, Kai already go back to US, it is impractical to go back Philippines again to quarantine again, then after, go back to quarantine again.
I am pretty sure EWP and Kai have plans why they went back to america even no g league bubble

In the NCAA at any given time,he would have faced,other NBA ready talent game in,game out and the most important thing is for just a brief moment he would experience some semblance of a normal life.
in the pursuit of the NBA dream, Kai is slowly being deprived of a normal teenage life.

We always know where this is heading. Kai will play for Ateneo in the UAAP and then play for the PBA.
This is the one truth we are afraid of. Let us face it, no natural born FILIPINO will be drafted in the NBA at least the near future. Our nation is not capable of producing a bball player who has the collective skills, height, IQ and maturity required to play in the NBA. Don't worry Kai will give Ateneo another 2 to 3 championships and will make San Miguel a champion for years.

Wag naman. That is a Disaster.
And in all teams, San Miguel pa talaga which do not lend players.
Anyway, Kai have other OPTIONS RATHER THAN ANY LEAGUE IN PHILIPPINES.
kaya nga sya bumalik US, and did not stay in Philippines.
If Kai really wanted to play for Ateneo, he will not leave to go back to US immediately.
Pretty sure, they know the situation already aboit gleague bubble.
As for No filipino will be drafted in Nba, I beg to disagree. They will be in the near future
