Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[PeeZones]

Fiba, low scoring game and a blowout, if you notice a Chet was second highest scorer for team USA and did it with good efficiency. Also 5 assists and 1 TO is impressive, showed off also some defensive plays as well, can cover ground with his athleticism.

Here Kai's stat at 17yr old without Aj edu and very inferior teammates. If kai would be in a stacked team, his assist would be way more than that average.
11.7pts 7.9reb 2assist almost 3 blocks

Kai only had a hard time defending Oumar Ballo. While if we watch the whole USA game, Chet had a really hard time defending Turkey's post players. This wouldn't really be an issue if Chet isn't mock draft Rank 1. Chet currently is just at par with Kai when he was 17. Chet being Rank number 1, we would always try to envision how he will fare in the NBA with how we see it he would just be a stretch 4. He would really have a hard time defending the inside and unless his 3s would be deadshot then we aren't sure if he will be effective. There is abundant supply of stretch abled bodied euro bigs in the NBA. Chet wont really have a good body ever and those euro bigs were very consistent with their threes. With his current trajectory, he would be at best a rotation player but be a liability specially defending the inside. He wont also dislodge the euro bigs if his 3s wont be as good as them. If he would be drafted next year, his real ranking as to potential and actual play would be mid to late first. This Chet version wont be instant impact player. He might need 3 to 5 years to contribute. I wasn't expecting that he is this slow. I was expecting he would be explosive.

he gets a lot of media because he is white.

when was d last time that a white american player, much less a center, became a top 5 pick? top 3? no.1?

d guy has talent and potentially could become d american dirk or a 7-foot version of love.

but he could also become an oden (hopefully not).

Agree a little bit, Chet is going to have problems with physicality.

Another player playing in the World Cup that’s interesting to watch 17 yrs old dominating, Victor Wembanyama.

Victor I think will progress to a body of Porzingis or just a tad smaller. I also expect a KP trajectory for Victor but he would also be expose because he lacks post plays. He is also in love with that turnaround jumper like KP in the post. It would remain to be seen if his version would be more effective than KP. Victors legs and ankle were more stable than Chet and he is still 17. Chet is already 19 and still look so frail.

Maxi Kleber
Ryan Anderson
Nemanja Bjelica
Saric

These are just examples of stretch 4s in the NBA and they were utmost rotation players and some were journeyman. Chet wont have a body like them and those mention were really good shooters. The only solution for Chet would be that he would a good shooter as Dirk or near dirk in creating his shots to be an All Star. If his shooting would be like Anderson, then he will just be a rotation player.

Looking for a go to guy by 2023
In other thread , they're looking for a go to guy
Just reposting my post here
I think we can slowly evolve and find who that player is by 2023

And in my mind it could be Kai by 2023, I'm serious

Hopefully Kai does become that go-to-guy for us by 2023. It's gonna mark the start for us. Our team will be big-centric (to an extent) rather than guard-centric, hopefully.

He was the great white hope but he is somehow becoming a great white disappointment. He is every white guys hope that they would have a KD or somehow a dominant big but his frail body would be his waterloo. Chet is allergic to contact and physicality and this is just against mere teens. Prosper will terrorize Chet and just one hard foul of Prosper would remove every inch of confidence from Chet.

one of d go-to-guys is good enough.

besides, as of now, i think kai, baltazar, and ramos are d only shoo-ins in d 2023 WC.

You're gradually turning into a Kai believer.hehe Currently, Kai at 19 should be our go to guy. He have shown that he could score against the best of them. His offensive skillset is so elite. He might not be as effective as desired but no one in our NT could consistently produce scores in bunches like Kai. We have seen Kai score in spurts even by his own. He would be more deadly if we set him up in his ideal scoring positions.

Chet will play against Ballo today.

[Jupitersa]

Too many ball hogs on this USA team

[Jupitersa]

Chet is good defensively, passes the ball well this game but very passive offensively. It's like he's scared and is having a hard time driving against the Mali frontline. Prefers to camp on the 3 point line. His weakness is getting exposed here vs tall and physical players. Shades of Thon maker rather than Durant. Victor Wembanyama and Kai Sotto seems to fare better against better teams. 17 Year old Victor just dominated Spain earlier while 19 year old Chet is having trouble with Mali. Let's see how he does on the second half but right now, he's playing passive and scared. I want to see him play with more aggression after the half like he did at the end of the 2nd quarter.

[PeeZones]

Chet has been a liability on the defensive end. He cant keep in step on the opposing Sf. It is just unfortunate that Mali doesnt have a really good Sf and pg. He is being protected on defense because he plays Sf. He is too slow for the position and his stamina and speed is way slower than expected. Kai is way more explosive and faster when not tired.

They play better without him inside and the keys to this game were the very agile and long SF, Sg and Pg of USA. Mali's backcourt were horrible. We cant blame them the US backcourt were long and athletic.

Chet looks scared and when he sees someone inside he somehow subtlely distance himself.lol this tourney would really expose draftexpress and tons of mock drafts sites..hahaha

Kai is miles better than chet.haha he is looking like kai at 15 and Kai at 15 was way explosive if not tired.

[ARMIR]

I agree. That's actually a good statline for Chet. Very impressive. But right now I think Kai is better, even if it's not by much.

After all, bukambibig ng ilan dito diba? Level of competition daw. Unless they're telling me U19 is better comp than FIBA Seniors, then Kai is better by their metric.

Chet has so much potential,I believe he get a better benefit of going to college even if he's a 1 and done or stay for 2 years,he will gain some weight.I don't really see his weight a problem,he's guarding that big bulky player of Mali effectively,he finds a way to utilize his quickness and athleticism.On youtube,you can read the comments of non knowledgeable Pinoy trolls on his highlights,its cringy.
