well it's possible his mom might be a dual citizen when he was born. I guess the DOJ gave Menk leeway since his mom was a natural- born Filipino with...

I think he's legit, haven't read anything pertaining to him being a fil sham

True, although if I remember correctly, Benjie Paras and some other players were protesting against Fil fors including Asi. A few years ago he called...

He should stick with politics lol. I remember his first five of James Yap and Belga over Pringle and Cstand

With the PG to SF spot I deliberately picked those who can shoot open 3s, has height, can dribble and importantly defend. I'm not sold with Japeth...

I find it suspicious as well considering Asi's mother can't speak tagalog or Samar's native language, but in fairness with Asi he has earned his...

For me my first five will be: PG - D ramos SG - Perez SF - BRP PF - Kouame C - Kai No traditional PG, but enough ball handling between...

Also Rob Parker of Sta. Lucia and Chris Clay of Laguna Lakers.

That's good news, I don't agree with Badua's take tho that Kai should go to Europe over g-league. G-league is the closest step in terms of being NBA...

Kai will have to face the media sooner or later, but I hope he avoids the spotlight and just keep his head down and focus on improving. He should...

True, at the end of the day the prospect's stock will go up or down depending on how they performed on the court. Ignite is doing a good job being a...

The problem is the overhype and the "superstar" status that comes with it. They wanted the minutes without actually earning it. Doesn't work that way...

Actually it's not the move to turn pro or joining Ignite that's wrong, it's leaving Ignite that caused the problem, if Kai trusted the process he...

Well said and totally agree. The pitfalls of overhyping. Another good example for Kai, his team mate Isiah Todd - kept his feet on the ground and...

we saw it a mile away, (well most of us did)

Well good news is if I'm not mistaken, the final decision will still fall with Kai/sotto family and not with EWP, Kai and family can still steer his...

I think there is also a possibility that Kai will enter another developmental program like he did in Atlanta when he first came to the States,...

That's a long lay off between now and October thats around 8 months. Im afraid he might take a break until then, or just go back home with Gilas

Ervin Sotto should take control of Kai's career, if possible drop EWP, then get an agent that actually prioritize Kai's development sans distractions...

That's sad news.. well according to Kai's official statement, he is still eyeing the 2021 or 2022 nba draft, question is what path is he going to...

"every player goes through that when they enter the next level.. every player, except for the special ones." - Mikee reyes trying to bring Kai back...

I think this answers the question: The other exception to this rule lies in players who enter the G League as a path to the NBA Draft. NBA G...

and Kai is still relatively young by next year's draft (20 years old), I think that is still a good age for a team to draft Kai and relegate to...

Looks like Kai will ride the bench along with Princepal Singh. management probably wants to concentrate on prospects who are ready for this year's...

I also read Kai is shooting a commercial with Smart (not confirmed tho). Might be a big factor why Kai went home if true

"Maybe Kai's handlers saw the writing on the wall when Ignite coach Brian Shaw said last December that Sotto "is not going to put up super great...

True badua was actually providing valid points. sometimes a grounded, fair assessment is what Kai needs to hear to balance the overhype that has been...

Good point, makes sense (if true) on why Kai's camp decided to pull the plug.

True, the only exception that I can think of right now is KD, well he is almost 7 feet

It should be a factor because historically he is a good defender (or in other terms he is underperforming now). The biggest knack on his defense is...
