Kai Sotto Thread

[Kaireem]

The thing is you can see there are 10 players on the bench , and it's a shorter 40 minute game.

Additionally the gap between the top 7 players (mostly drafted or signed in previous years ) and the bottom half bench is significant.

It makes it really hard unlikely for an undrafted /unsigned player like Kai to get any reasonable PT . That is the true situation and it is not unique to Kai..

for kai to get playing time 1) he needs to play well in practice so that the coaches will see the need for 1 more big man in the rotation and 2) either the magic blows out some team early or gets blown out early

What does the messiah Tony Ronzone have to say?

Linusports you want to quote anyone? Any news article that will justify the DNP?

Meanwhile, Chet Holmgren helped OKC beating the Mavs.

He has 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 5/10 fg in 30 minutes of playing time.

Orlando Magic GINALIT ang MUNDO!

I hope the bashing of other top prospects from the fanatics in order to put up Kai Sotto stops here. Chet and Wemby are top prospects for a reason. Kai is not just some unknown player GMs and other scouts don't know about. They're not blind. Coaches are not blind. From Tab, to Brian Shaw, to CJ to Kyle Milling and now the Magic's coach. All got bashed for not treating Kai like a superstar. SMH. Oh how embarrassing must be for Kai to see Orlando Magic's FB page brigaded by furious pinoy pride hypebeasts mad at the DNP. These clowns are yelling "Kai is just being used as marketing". What a laughable excuse. Same excuse they yelled at G-League Ignite, Adeleide, and Hiroshima.

Watching Chet play now and I can't believe some "non-casual" fan had the balls to put him in the same sentence as Kai Sotto. And he even claimed that Kai is better than Chet. Hahahaha. Joke of the century.

Maluwag ang turnilyo sa ulo. I willl say it again in Tagalog because theres no better way to describe these folks.

[CoJ]

the orlando magic official social media accts and even the fb group page of magic fabs ( with only a few members) are hijacked by peenoise and being flooded with kai posts,

this is beyond embarassing. Kai fans are more delusional than pactards, its like the second coming of tim tebow for orlando residents ( tebow also has a toxic fanbase)

I hope they realize that it's an insult to Kai to assume that they only signed him for marketing purposes.. Kai is actually talented but probably not as talented as the players getting most of the PT

I doubt Kai can even achieve Tacko Fall's output in China.

he needs to do it in Japan first, which is a weaker league

[ja.he]

and Tacko Fall had a good outing as a well earlier, may not be mobile but he sets a mean pick/screen

impressed with Chet so far, plays like a sf-pf

I was really impressed the way Chet defending the perimeter. Most of the time, he has not lost his man. He can chase him. His defensive stance also looks good - looks like a volleyball player. Haha

[DAdmiral]

KAI was informed that "rookies and contracted players" will have first dibs of the playing minutes especially in the first game of the Summer League.
Of course priority is signed players , and this year's draft entrants , that's already around 8 players easily

Thank you Orlando Magic for inviting Kai to watch NBA summer league!

He is not as weak and slow as that "non-casual" fan from Mandaluyong claimed. Dude is a top pick for a reason.

So no, all the GMs are not wrong.

sayang Orlando and OKC are not in the same group/bracket for the SL, would have loved to see Chet play against Kai (if not DNP)
