    How is Kai's agility & laterals compared to a prime Hamed Haddadi, Wang Zhizhi & Zhou Qi?

    I think in terms of leaping ability, Kai is better than a prime Wang Zhizhi & Haddadi. But I think Zhou Qi is slightly better than Kai in this aspect.
    kai is also more agile and mobile than wang & haddadi, but those 2 were also a lot stronger that kai at age 22. if kai was born 20 years earlier with his current skillset he'd already be playing in the nba

      Agree, Haddadi (in his early 20's) was physically stronger & was able absorb contact better than Kai. Wang Zhizhi? Not really that much. I think Wang during his early 20's had better post up game than Kai Sotto. Wang also had a decent medium range jumper. I think in terms of agility, halos pantay lang si Wang Zhizhi at si Kai.

      I remember Philippine Centennial team head coach Tim Cone saying that he was more concerned handling China's burly center Menke Bateer than Wang Zhizhi during the 1998 Asian Games. According to coach Tim, Wang Zhizh, being a finesse player, can be pushed around while Bateer, being more of a physical & hefty player, was an immovable force inside the shaded lane & was difficult to be pushed around.
      "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

        Kai needs to get out of the Bleague soon,he needs better competition,he had outgrown the league,playing against SF/PF mascarading as a center is not doing him good,he needs to be match up against bigs that are agile,athletic,that can shoot midrange to perimeter.Problem is outside of the NBA or Bleague the pay sucks for a sole breadwinner of the family .

          I think only Nba is the next target of Kai and his family, and his agents.

          If Yuki made it. Maybe Kai will be able too. Probably Next year. Maybe after 2 years. Or maybe after 3 years.

          Barring Injuries,

          26-27 yrs old Kai I think will be an Nba Player. Maybe off the bench but still.

          • Guys, just in case Kai won't ever get a contract from any NBA team, what good do U think will it bring Kai if he ventures playing on division 1 or the premier pro leagues in Europe? I mean, what about playing in the premier pro leagues in Spain, France, Greece or Turkey? I think both financially as well as competition wise, playing in any of those league would be beneficial to Kai.

                • Kai sotto looks good for gsw. Together with getting zach levine, gsw's curry and green will have enough firepower and defense to win the championship.

                    I think that's a good next move. He just has to find out beforehand if he's going to be given real opportunity/playing time or is just a token guy. If major minutes is highly unlikely, then don't.

                    Him playing well in Bleague gets him closer to the nba vs being a benchwarmer in europe. Benchwarmers in europe are only considered for the nba if they are teenagers (even adult superstars there sometimes turn out as nba busts, what more adult benchwarmers).

                    • Kai turned into a dominant rebounder. Good job Kai, more 20-20 games to come.

                              Probably a hyperextension. Hopefully, he recovers fully.
