I think it is not that severe. He is already on the bench now and looks okay. Maybe it's just that thing we called tapilok. Good thing he can stand on his own already. -
AJ's lateral is kinda good for a bigman. He can easily man up that Koshigaya guard. He looks agile and moving comfortably compare to how Kai moves against guards.Comment

Yeah, AJ has the laterals & the quickness to chase even the guards & wingmen in the perimeter & stay in front of them & he is a competent interior defender or rim protector as well. That is why he's considered the best defensive big man of Gilas. AJ's averaged points at Nagasaki Velca isn't that eye-popping but that's becoz he is a mere role player there & isn't given enough latitude on offense becoz of the presence of scoring word imports. At Gilas, it looks like AJ is given some freedom in offense. He has license to take those medium range jumpers & even 3-pt shots if he is open. AJ is a better offensive player than what he is showing at Nagasaki Velca.Originally posted by lem0nadi View Post
I think AJ registered pretty decent stats playing for his former B-league team last season. I think he averaged double figures in points last season. His former team though sucked."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 IVComment

Guys, isn't just normal or common for a 7-foot Asian player (with no Afro genes) to get blown by 6-foot-4/6-foot-5 world import wingmen? Would a prime Hamed Haddadi, or a Wang Zhizhi, or a Menke Bateer be able to chase & stay in front with the likes of Justin Brownlee or RHJ in the perimeter?
AJ Edu is able to do defend those world import wingmen in the B-league in the perimeter, but AJ is no 7 footer (he's 6-foot-10) & he has the Afro genes which makes him mobile & athletic."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.

At that age, sometimes it takes just a minute and you'd be good to go. Guys tweak their ankles during games all the time and still keep playing. Sure we're talking about a cautious 7-foot Kai, but the lightest sprains in general can last only for a few seconds depending on your pain tolerance.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

No, even most big men cant defend perimeter players these days regardless of race, what AJ has is special. If you can defend a wing player and is tall enough to be a center youre usually in the NBA.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

He can actually be an offensive guy prior to his injuries. He was our leading scorer in that FIBA U18, Kai was just behind him.Originally posted by TheRodster21 View Post
If anything, all of his potential and highest ceiling as a player could have been fully developed if not for injury.Comment

Kai with 20 pts, 9 rebs, 3 asst. They fell short 90 - 94, na-tambakan sa 1st half pero nag-habol lang. Although to be fair, Kai had a bad 1st half with 3 pts and 4 rebs.Comment
