Hello Inter. Sneaking here again
Just happy that Kai is performing well in B League now.
Nba will come if it is meant to be whether if it is 3 yrs from now. Or 5 yrs from now.
Even if he didnt make it, he is still a success imo.
Especially if he will always be an asset for Gilas in Fiba Competitions.

They got a 44 year old world import, more than 5 locals who are passed 36 years old of age. I mean this is their chance to stay in the BLeague Div 1 already and they could have invest on a lot of younger good players.Originally posted by IPC View PostHow did Kai do defensively? I read about the 4 blocks, but overall, how was he on that end?Originally posted by lem0nadi View PostHe was actually pretty good in this game. The opposing bigs seemed uncomfortable attacking him, and he's definitely improving. However, he still doesn’t fight for offensive rebounds; instead, he just watches the ball to see if it goes in when his teammates take a shot, but I guess fighting for offensive rebounds could take a toll on his stamina. Scoring isn’t really an issue for him.

he only needs to know how to manage his fouls, as being in foul trouble is his number 1 enemy, he will not be able to do or show what he can if he is seating in the bench because of fouls

Originally posted by IPC View PostI noticed that Kai's improved on defense. In the portions I've watched this Emperor's Cup, he seems to have gotten better at deterring shots and protecting the rim. His drop defense has improved too.
It's a byproduct of getting older, things achieved over time.
I'm waiting for the time when he becomes an expert on "gulang" moves. It's such a good basketball term that is our very own and perfectly encapsulates the advantage of experience.

This is what I said about 2 or 3 years ago: That as Kai matures age wise, his muscle & bone mass will improve significantly which will make him stronger & improves his ability to absorb physical contact. These aspects will have a significant positive effect on Kai's overall game - offensively, defensively, rebounding, etc.
I say a 22-year old Kai Sotto is a better version of a 19-year old Kai Sotto not just because of the skills & basketball I. Q. that he has developed in that span of time but mainly becoz of the physical development of his body. We are talking about human physiology here.
If he can’t make the EuroLeague or NBA, he should at least be exposed to quality competition on the low post.
I don’t recall but how did he do against Aron Baynes?

Originally posted by Metta View PostKai of about 3 years ago wasn't physically ready for high level competition. His lack of strength and stamina was taken advantage of by opponents. And he wasn't skilled or quick enough to play finesse. His body language also implied a player who didn't realize what he was lacking.
It's only recently that he has started maturing physically and mentally.
I always advocate for playing up levels. In hindsight, there could've been a better route, but it's the path he took and there's no use second guessing. Even AJ did what seemed like a good move going to a program where he realistically had a good chance of getting major minutes, but other unexpected things happened. There are no guaranties.
What's important is Kai seems to gone over a hump and is healthy. Let's all hope it stays that way. People have no idea the type of pressure that was placed on him as a teenager. It's like the fate of his family and his nation was placed on his shoulders. I give props to him for handling that relatively well.
