    As well as they should. The PBA is ran by a bunch of greedy old dinosaurs.

      That fanatical idiot keeps on overlooking the fact that Japan still annihilated Gilas. Like a broken record he keeps on repeating Japan can't defeat China blah blah as if China isn't even a top tier team in Asia.

        More importantly Adelaide is now 2-0
        At the end of the day, Adelaide just wants to win. Hopefully, Kai just keeps his head up, grinding and earn his minutes

          i watched some toyama games last season and dwight was definitely under-utilized. he wasn't a creator on offense. he was made to stand in the corner waiting for an open 3. he barely scores when his 3pt shot is not falling. most of his points came from fast breaks & open 3 pointers.

          kiefer & thirdy were fortunate to have been given the keys to the offense for their respective teams. ramos & parks to some extent were turned into 3&d role-players. parks only started getting a significant role when one of their imports got injured. if those to were allowed to run the offense they'd definitely post way better stats than the ravena bros

          • Lol wahts with issue with role players we wouldnt win anything if not for gabe norwoods intangability..

            Dwight is a solid starter and can be a good plus if he can be a good role player since he will be reliable because of his strenth and size in asian level..
            To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
            1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

              there are no trade transactions in NBL. only sign and release/waive.

                Honestly Japan and Korea have both proven they can beat any team in Asia, even at the youth level both have found success with youth squads as well, Japan u16 and u18 both went to the finals and qualified for the World Cup and Korea recently won the u18 Asia cup. Development in both countries has gotten better and better.

                Korea has a good system going on but Japan has been developing talent in the last few years. Kawashima for example looks like a D1 prospect and was featured on DraftExpress\scouted.

                  I do hope that Carl will go pro immediately after this season, preferably abroad. Although in the past weeks, he did mention wanting to go to Japan.
                  The UAAP basketball season ends on December 17. Carl and Quiambao might have time to sign with Japanese teams as Asian imports. I hope they do go pro, because they're too good for the UAAP.

                    What Im saying is even our best player, Dwight, is not featured as much in his team. Kiefer and Thirdy are featured a lot but we know their actual skills are far from Dwights. The B league is getting our players primarily to get the Filipino market which is a big force online and in social media at least in Asia. Minutes are not guaranteed.

                    Ive been monitoring Balti and he has barely played in their two friendlies so far. Although, scrimmaging against world imports is good training I still hope he gets enough minutes to work on his skills in actual games.

                      On defence he's doing a lot better than what people were expecting. It's the opposite though on offence. He's supposed to be more advanced and skilled than what he's shown so far especially when posting up.
                      He can't post up,The defense was way too quick and pesky for him. The phase of the game is very fast. He should re invent himself , He needs to be faster & stronger he need to think of ways where he just take pull up shots quicker.Plus be more aggressive and quick in picking up rebounds taking up 2nd chance points will be much better for him for now for him to thrive in this fast paced game of adelaide.

                        If I am Wasserman, I will talk to the ADL execs to release Kai. I don't think Kai will get enough minutes this season compared to last season. Kai's minutes were already limited last season even though most of their big men were injured. What more now when half of their roster are big men (6 big men)? If Kai still has no minutes in the NBA preseason with 48 minutes of playing time, Wass should really think hard about Kai continuing to play with ADL this season.

There was a time that Kai was the first one to sprint down the court. ADL should move on with DJ or at least limit his minutes instead of giving him his usual 30+ minutes if they want to be competitive. DJ can't do anything other than shoot the ball. He is like the past prime Kevin Love.
                          He may not be as good as before, but hey this guy can hit the three with more consistency he can shoot anywhere in the floor, we don't see him swat shots like kai but he out muscles his opponents in fighting for the position that is what Kai cannot bring to the table for now.

                          • For UAAP, departure of players is nothing new.

                            "It's just in line with our goal to give these students, student-athletes, the best position to succeed and to give their families an opportunity for a better life. So 'yan lang naman, from our perspective," said Saguisag.

                            "Again, this problem not being new to us, hindi naman kami nauubusan ng talent as far as we're concerned," Saguisag explained. "In fact, it only gives other students an opportunity to shine."

                            "Right now naman, and based on Season 84, like I said, it's nothing new, and UAAP is still alive and kicking. So, it may be a concern, quote-unquote, but right now we're just happy where the student-athletes are going," he added.

                            "We have to take note na the professional opportunity of basketball in the Philippines is very limited. And we have an overwhelming supply of basketball players," said Suan. "Sabi nga, we're a basketball country."

                            "Now, kung we have an over-supply of skills, and very limited ang professional venue for you to express your skills, why curtail that opportunity for other people?" he added. "Why not always grab the opportunity?"

                            "And this offer from outside the country is an opportunity. Let us grab it."

                            Seems like UAAP has a better outlook than both PBA and SBP. UAAP lost Dwight, RJ, Kobe, SJ, Juan, and will possibly lose Carl and KQuiam.

                            • Im sure the UAAP does nothing to prevent players from leaving. Schools on the other hand, well Tamayo and Quiambao will play this season. And remember the Milwaukee Bucks and Ange Kouame? Well for some reason someone considered for the NBA is playing in the UAAP.

                                absolutely, the responsibility lies on their respective schools.
