Kai Sotto Thread

[Linusports]

Just watched this video. It's nice to have concrete confirmation that Kai is being watched by NBA scouts until now, at the very least. I also agree that it's telling that IBN PH will bother confirming if NBA scouts were there for Cooks and others, but not for our countryman.

The main thing Scouts gonna report is Kai's real potential, within 6 months of time his observable improvement were very evident (since last year's June 22' NBA draftworkout)
-speed (improved feet, no more dragging and better pnr defense)
-stamina&motor (starting job and being able to impose his height - lowpost plays)


LA Clippers BIGS Depth Chart (Zubac, Morris, Moses Brown (7'2/23yo UCLA) and Moussa Diabete (6'10 /21yo France)

NY Knicks BIGS Depth Chart (Robinson, Randle, Toppin, Isaiah Hartenstein 7'1/24yo) and Sims (6'9/24yo)


Looking at Clips and Knicks Depth Chart............. Kai can really have that chance to compete for a potential roster spot (he have better chance on Clippers while Knicks have that multiple Filipino-American PT and Trainers in their coaching staff connection)

Kai with 12 pts 2 rebs in 12 mins vs Taipans. Foul trouble all game but I'm fine with it, we see Kai improving in his post moves. Waardenburg couldn't contain him. I like Kai's new energy, channeling that anger, that chip on his shoulder, into physical play.

Beggars can't be choosers. I agree that Kai can compete for a roster spot in both teams.

Wady is just too small for the 20yr old Kai.lol He may have an excellent game overall but Kai had the better game head-to-head against each other. Looking forward to NZ vs Gilas with Kai and all of NZ bigs.haha
Kai is already a handful at 20yrs old for all NBL bigs and it would just be a matter of time before he will be dominating all these NBL bigs.

NBA great bigs are dominating the NBA and it shows the standings of their team. It is already once again the era of skilled huge bigs and those smaller agile centers would eventually become obsolete.

Who is Analyze? is Admiral and him the same?
I do notice that the others like juan luna, big cat, silent kill, they seem to hymn to what the Admiral inclines at... - I mean, we all independent here but its just that's what I am sensing from them...
like they unreasonably going against Kai...

*I think you also tried creating KAI Thread couple times and the moderators kept putting it back in the NBL... which i find it weird coming from the moderators...
*I also remember i think last week maybe.... there was this "KYLE SOTTO" user i think... he posts and instigate with numerous "hihihihihi" response....
I was laughing and getting pissed the same time about that "hihihihihi" posting style he doing

Analyze and admiral are the same. For the record, I really don't personally hate Analyze as a person but I really abhor his actions toward Kai and Phil Bball in general. I am just by nature competitive and patriotic. Their ganging on me doesn't really make me feel less confident about my takes.haha Whatever they do will still haunt them in any way or form. Basta ako im here to support Kai and Phil bball and just always do what is right.haha

These days I have less appetite to argue because we can't really change their mind. It is not our fault that they can't see things and they can't assess on their own.haha It is obvious that Kai doesn't have issues with lateral and is very mobile for a big but they will keep insisting on it because they heard it from someone.haha

The hihihi guy was astigram doing some ban evasion. Dude just doesn't want to leave the site.

Astigram doesn't have that tendency. He is mostly emotional and had the tendency to curse but won't stoop so low posting that way.

I don't know about that. I don't remember Astigram as being sarcastic. But I do know who he is, and he's still posting on a new account.

Me too. I'm tired of playing their pseudo-therapist trying to get them out of their coping mechanism.

Really? Creating a thread nominating additional moderators? All of that because of Kai Sotto?

Get a life dude.

Creating multiple troll accounts on IBN and various social media platforms just to malign and discredit someone is too pathetic. if you or your friends have issues with YouTubers, then why not create decent content so you will have the same opportunities as others?

People tend to be envious of others' achievements but they don't have the drive to grind in order to attain success. Instead of creating nonsense why not invest your time in doing productive things?

Kai's impact and development is too advanced at 20yrs old as compared to those undrafted who made a leap from NBL to NBA. Whatever are the agenda of ADL and Brutus for hampering to not fully showcase Kai will end soon.haha Kai will have the opportunity to showcase in the upcoming Summer league and also this world cup. Kai is the most efficient and most productive young star even with limited minutes. Kai also arguably has a way higher upside and his game could easily translate in the NBA. This season would have been Kai's breakout year.

I?m hoping Kai would play in NBL1 to hone his skills while waiting for that NBA summer league. I believe he would get chance to showcase his skills more and improved his redflags in NBL1. It was missed opportunity last year coz of his handlers?s poor decision making.

Another Gilas outing would be better. That means additional training in the US before Summer League, which imo is better than NBL1. Kai was routinely coasting throughout the NBL preseason so I don't think NBL1 will be of any additional help going forward.

Oh, Kai Sotto thread is back?

Anyway, All the best for Kai.

Summer League , SEA Games, and World Cup this year will be big for him. Development and Showcase wise.

I think Adelaide will exercise team option on Kai this next 2023-2024 season. Hopefully, Kai will be both a starter and finisher (4th quarter mins) at that point.

What kind of training? NFL-style of training again? Kai needs to have continuous 5x5 competition (given the an ample rest, of course). Hopefully his goal is to improve those red flags in nbl1 wether he?ll be role player or not.

I’m worried that fans will have heavy expectations on that summer league to have kai produced double double every game.
