If Newsome was only eligible when he was younger.

But better late than never.

[Blueorgreen22]

He wants to look like a 7 foot Berwin Meily? Hahaha

Is this the kai sotto grown man look?

Thick hair all around his face. Bye totoy look...

[k3ttch]

19pts 10rebs 7asst for Kai. Enough for scouts to take notice?

[EIG]

Would you classify this NZ as their Team A?

[Sikatrix]

NZ has big guys but they decided for a more dynamic lineup so Kai made them pay.

[Joe Yabuki]

If Newsome was only eligible when he was younger.

But better late than never.

Nah something clicked with Newsome with Cone, he was not the same player with the other guy. Particularly the asean games. Its like the international game slowed down for him.

[OverratedTabBaldwin]

Not overreacting but a 22 year old Big with potential like Kai is worth at least a 2 way contract in the NBA. Parang ang hina naman ng agent ni Kai na imarket siya.

Imagine if Kai's Dad is Lebron. He would've been a top 10 pick for sure.

[DenzelGreat8]

Kai will always be Kai and he is arguably our best local player in Gilas but he needs to remove that frustration movement just because he was not fed the ball.

Bugnutin sya masyado. It breaks the team's morale.

Just let the player show some emotion, di naman parati eh. This happens.

Would you classify this NZ as their Team A?

This is literally like their era where most of their players were starter in NBL. Atleast in this decade, because I have no idea in their 2000s team. But I am pretty sure this is better than the NZ teams that beat us lopsided. Ang pagkaka-iba lang e kakabuo palang din ng team nila. This is like the Gilas after CTC tookover from that WC disaster.

[Sikatrix]

Would you classify this NZ as their Team A?

A bit on the young side but the guys they brought are the future like Oscar Goodman, top 100 4 star prospect committed to Michigan.

[empyreanmaze]

Would you classify this NZ as their Team A?

honestly team B, no Shea Ili and Delany who were crucial in their game against Croatia

Kai will always be Kai and he is arguably our best local player in Gilas but he needs to remove that frustration movement just because he was not fed the ball.

Might even be a top 3 pick bro kahit adopted son lang ni LeBron hahaha

19pts 10rebs 7asst for Kai. Enough for scouts to take notice?

Not really. My take is that he has to produce those numbers against legit NBA guy on the FIBA stage to be noticed. NZ has no legit 7-foot NBA guy on their roster.

[lem0nadi]

Just let the player show some emotion, di naman parati eh. This happens.

I don't what you mean by hindi naman parati. This is already Kai's habit. But I would gladly take it as an exchange for his good game like this, lol.

[Giannis34GOD]

Finally We defeated NZ.

Kai is really special, if only he didn't get injured last OQT we can beat brazil...

Scotie and new proved why they are PBA superstars.

He is like Brownlee or RHJ, unlucky NBA dreamer but legendary guy in international competitions (FIBA)... Sometimes being in the NBA is not guarantee.. actually I don't care if we will never have an NBA player.. I don't dream that.. my dream is to be champs in Fiba Asia cup and Olympic stint.. that is all that matters...
