7'2" Filipino Kai Sotto is going to play in the G League.

[Lebron23]

He's a projected top 24 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. A legit 7'2 who has some decent low posts skills, and he is improving his 3 points shooting.

Kid is very talented. Hopefully some NBA teams give him some playing time.

any highlights?

[Lebron23]

any highlights?

I am using my cp right now. You can check his highlights on youtube

Interesting he is quite mobile for 7´2 ft and he is only 17. So 2 more years and he could turn out like that of Kristap Porzingis....

[Manny98]

If he can develop a jumpshot he's going to be a problem

[Axe]

Hope that guy is not injury prone in the long run.

[CodeBreaker]

Can't wait to see a Filipino make noise in the NBA

[rawimpact]

It's like he took the tall gene from all the other filipinos for himself. Dude was probably twice the height of any other center in the filipino league

His dad is a former PBA player at 6'7. And mom is 6 feet tall volleyball player.

[Sakkreth]

On one hand if he makes it into the NBA, huge basketball fanbase in phillipines will finally have their own to root for, on the other hand Phillpine fans will be real annoying.

True. Most of the filipino fans on youtube and facebook are annoying.

[Lebron23]

I hope he strengthen his lower body.

[Lebron23]

He is the next Nikola Jokic. Hopefully the knicks or the rockets drafts him.

Here is his highlights against Korea.

[Airupthere]

Good handles for his height

[dazzer87]

Damn 2 feet taller than 95% of Filipino males………:lol

[Baller789]

That Sotto kid is starting to get overhyped too much. Wasn't impressed with his 12 point game, 8 coming from ft's.

Meh.

[Jasper]

will be interesting when he is the G-league.
I like his passing skills, but the game will but much faster for him.

He got benched in the NBA G League by that idiot Brian Shaw.

These guys (Bol Bol, Kai Sotto, Kristaps) might be a little ahead of their time technology wise, but one day we’re for sure going to watch 7’3 players chuck like guards, defend and stay healthy

For someone 7'2, these are pathetic numbers

No one cares for 7 footers anymore unless the athleticsm is like Rudy Gobert or Javale Mcgee

[BarberSchool]

Sotto’s inability to even jog like a human male, or jump like a human at all, makes Nikola Jokic look like Shawn Kemp.

Sotto looks like he is running in a pool. But it’s air.

Also, he’s so duck footed, and slightly knock kneed…. Guaranteed short career due to constant ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, and knee problems galore.

Stay far away.

[Baller789]

He'll be a poor man's Rik Smits.
An ok role player imo. But nothing special.

[GimmeThat]

getting paid big money is like being around influential people, some people get shaken by that.

[Axe]

Kid has a frame very similar to abdul jabbar including his weight but i doubt he'll be dominant.

[Axe]

Oof kid is gonna be undrafted.

[Lebron23]

Oof kid is gonna be undrafted.


I hope the Lakers invite him in their summer league roster.

[Baller789]

Decent offensive skills.

But lacking in his motor.

Also a bit overrated. But has good potential.

30% chance he makes the NBA.

[GrayGoat]

From nba prospect to cooking cow tongues oof

[iamgine]

Can't a team just draft him and get all that Filipinos jersey money?

[Axe]

His agent is being viral in the articles rn. :yaohappy:

[hateraid]

If he makes the NBA he's gonna lead jersey sales his first year in North America. There is a huge Filipino community here and we're all devoted basketball fans. If he lands in Houston or Toronto watch out. The hype will be bigger than Linsanity

[hateraid]

Can't a team just draft him and get all that Filipinos jersey money?

Facts

[Baller789]

Can't a team just draft him and get all that Filipinos jersey money?

Filipinos love buying fake merch tho.

Thats about 5 bucks max……..

"Adelaide 36ers vs. OKC Thunder and Phoenix Suns pre season games. Kai Sotto vs. Chet Holmgren and Deandre Ayton. If Kai have a good performance. NBA Scouts are going to notice him"
