Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[Jackie Reaper]

trying harder to "hit" the cadets. if anything, cadets should play against import laden teams and not against all filipino teams. aside from the smc teams, i think the center for pba teams is 6"8 and below.

Well, let's take a look on the current players in the PBA that are playing centers for their teams:

Alaska:

Adamos 6'7
Taha 6'7
Tratter 6'5
Eboña 6'5
Brondial 6'5

Ginebra:

Aguilar 6'9
Holmqvist 6'8
Standhardinger 6'7
Caperal 6'6

Blackwater:

Acuno 6'7
Nabong 6'6
Golla 6'5
Sena 6'5

Magnolia:

Reavis 6'8
Sangalang 6'6
Pascual 6'6

Meralco:

Almazan 6'8
Hugnatan 6'5
Baclao 6'5

NLEX:

Soyud 6'5
Miranda 6'5
Porter 6'5
McAloney 6'4
Quiñahan 6'4

Northport:

Slaughter 6'11
Rike 6'7
Malonzo 6'6

Phoenix:

Chua 6'5
Muyang 6'5

Rain or Shine:

Torres 6'6
Guinto 6'5
Belga 6'5

SMB:

Fajardo 6'10
Tautuaa 6'6

Terrafirma:

Laput 6'10
Faundo 6'5
Escoto 6'5
Gabayni 6'5

TNT:

Erram 6'8
Williams 6'6
Washington 6'6
Marcelo 6'5

Gilas Cadets pool of bigs:

Kai 7'3
Kouame 6'11
Chiu 6'10
Cariño 6'9
Baltazar 6'8
Rangel 6'8
Ong 6'7
Go 6'7

Indeed, Cadets should play in the import-laden conference so that our bigger Cadets can be challenged by stronger and bigger imports. If it is in All-Filipino, remember, just look at these players playing at center above. Hehe

Apparently our boy together with Cholo is going to play soon in the Cosmic Classic Showcase, and there will be a "Kaiju 3 pt Shooting Competition"?
I at least admire the way EWP isn't letting themselves fall flat on their faces, and instead trying to market the best they can.

I don't think Kai will be playing in any future leagues if this is a thing, because of the scheduling conflicts.

I understand that all people here bet on basketball, but I have never seen money bet on the Euroleague, I usually bet on the NBA By the way, I was recently looking for a good bookmaker and came across this site https://hfive555.com/en/how-to-get-918kiss-angpao . But I haven't stopped there yet, maybe there are still some sites where you can put money and transfer it to your card. By the way, guys, if it's not a secret, what site do you bet on teams on? And why the Euroleague, why not the NBA, is very interesting, to be honest And so I wish you good luck and that all your bets are in your favor

From CBA, not sure how Kai can not be classified as described
The NBA would know if Ignite paid him and he certainly derived compensation for his services (with all the promo videos he did for Ignite using his popularity)

The player has signed a player contract with a “professional basketball team not in the NBA” (defined below) that is located in the United States, and has rendered services under such contract prior to the Draft;

Doesn't Overtime's league clash with the NBA Draft Combine schedule?

But if Kai decides to take another year off to polish himself, maybe it'll be fine.

Maybe this is a fall back in case Kai doesn't get drafted or offered a 2 way contract this year. A platform to increase his stock just in case

Kai can play in reg season. (June 5 - July 11)

But not in playoffs where Combine will start. (July 17- Aug 1)

Nba Combine (June 21-27)

Edit: oops. It is conflict pala

This is just too unacceptable

This is an overly pinoy baiting video by Kai Sotto mega fan blogger.lol On a serious note, I was really campaigning that I don't see Mobley as way better than Kai these days and even before. I can see Kai holding his own and maybe even outplaying Mobley. What Mobley has on kai is experience playing competitive bball against top tier competition ever since. Offensive skill wise I would rank Kai higher and could be a way better teammate than Mobley because of his very high Bball IQ. Mobley might be a slight better defender just because Kai tend to slack defensively these days. Maybe Mobley would also have a slight better stamina but they would be almost even in terms of athleticism. I see Mobley as a player that would need 2-3 years before making an impact in the NBA. His current physique wouldn't suffice and Kai would also need 2-3years to have an impact.

This was the reason of my claim that Kai could be A LOTTERY PICK before because I don't see Mobley as way better than Kai. He was just favored by writers and Kai has lesser US games as compare to Mobley. There was also videos before proclaiming Kai as the best big of the nation or that he could challenge for the best big of his class. Those were my reason for saying that Kai could be a lottery pick. Kai for me is slightly better than Mobley at their current state.

7'2" Kai Sotto CAUGHT A BODY!? International Prospect Making His Case For BEST BIG IN THE COUNTRY

[PeeZones]

7'3" Kai Sotto Averages 27 PTS, 11 REBS, & 4 BLKS In Three MLK Weekend Games! Best Big In Nation!?

[PeeZones]

Kai Sotto Born: 11 May 2002 (age 18 years)
Evan Mobley 18 June 2001 (age 19 years)

Kai Offensive Skillset > Mobley
Kai Bball IQ > Mobley
Kai better teammate passer > Mobley
Kai Athleticism = Mobley (mobley isnt overly athletic)
Kai Experience < Mobley(toptier competition for mobley eversince)
Kai defense < Mobley (Kai tend to slack on defense these days)
Kai Stamina < Mobley
Over-all Kai >= Mobley (both needs 2-3years to have an impact in the NBA)

So he's being treated now as a pro player?

Kai should be when he signed a contract with Ignite.

[Alex07]

i just hope it attracts attention and has the same level of competition as the G league. I hope Kai gets an invitation as well.

[thatweirdguy]

Kai should be when he signed a contract with Ignite.

Sorry I meant to ask if this means that he automatically enters draft whether he applies or not
