At this point he's already going to the next level of competition,by going to Australia's NBL,and after that hopefully a pathway to the NBA,is in the future works and he will be totally ready at all levels in 2 to 3 years.

Originally posted by judasmartel View PostI am curious, how does Adelaide play in the NBL? Any comparisons to any team we know of? Be it NBA, FIBA, PBA, etc.
Generally the more productive big men , have had outside shots ( 3 pt line) like Landale. Additionally a big really needs to play decent pick and roll defense and show / switch to perimeter.. or else he will sit.. Cause opposing teams will expose that weakness.

With Wang Zhizhi-Kai Sotto comparison, its hard to tell becoz Wang was already so skilled even when he was 20 or 21 yrs old. But I think yung lamang ni Kai over Wang is in the ball handling skills. At 19 yrs of age, Kai's ball handling is already so impressive for a 7-footer."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Originally posted by spidey102279So I think most of here agree now that Kai is a mobile big man.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostWith confidence, I say Kai Sotto would be in the same boat as prime Hamed Hadadi & Wang Zhizhi. I saw Hadadi's game when he was around 21 yrs old, I think skill wise (& I'd like to emphasize, skill wise lang ha), a 19-yr old Kai is better than him.

If I remember it right, when Wang Zhizhi faced Korea with 6-10 center Seo Jang Hoon spearheading Korea, Wang played an excellent game to lead China to the gold medal. Seo was considered among the elite big men of Asian basketball at that time."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostIn the Asian basketball standards bro, Kai is quick/agile & highly mobile for a 7-footer. Of course when we talk of NBA standards, I can't say the same thing about Kai
I'm just happy we now have a modern big man. Hoping to see Geo Chiu get that sort of mobility and shooting touch from the perimeter.

Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues
Juan, Thirdy, Kiefer, Kai, Tungcab. These are some players who have been offered/are playing in foreign leagues. With the recent development that the Korean Basketball League is increasing their Asian Import quota, I expect a lot more Filipinos to take the wares elsewhere. This bodes well for our NT. I also hope that the exodus of our young prospects spurs change within the PBA.
