Waking up 3:30 am to watch Kai Sotto here in Italy
Kai Sotto can perform better, if he played with good guard!!!
For your info Kai already played NBL with pro nba player.
If you're frozen on the bench for 3 games, play with guys that are desperate to look good on the stat sheets and then have a coach who doesn't seem to know how to use you…. Kai looked confused at the start, but pretty decent eventually. Him looking "slow" is one of the things he's using to get his opponent off guard. He didn't look slow against Phoenix last year and games even before that so I think it's the level of comfortability he has. If he's given the plays, he'll be okay but they run the same chaotic plays and hero-ball kind of game by Saturday, we won't see the other side of Kai.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IF KAI SOTTO PLAYS 30 MINUTES IN ALL ORLANDO SUMMER LEGUE GAMES. CAN HE MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND WINS EVEN A SINGLE GAME. I KNOW YOU'RE A GOOD OBSERVER, THEY DON'T HAVE A GOOD CENTER IN ALL THEIR GAMES AND THE RESULT THEY ARE OUTREBOUNDED BY THE OTHER TEAMS. JUST MY OPINION.
its clear you have your favorites lol
Kai now prove that he can play nba.
Any team that gives a good point guard to set up Kai Sotto and YOU WILL SEE THE VALUE OF KAI SOTTO. đȘPHđ„
@Kai Sotto, Just Keep up the good work and Let the Lord's WILL be done!!! "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE", God Bless and Remember that the Power of the Force is Always with You!!!
If from the beggining Kai let them play maybe magic was in good situation for now.đ„±
Thanks for the honest Kai feedback man we appreciate it.
With all due respect man, we believe Kai is NBA material , coz even though hes slow and youre right on this, once he gets those blocks,rebounds,assists and those points and dunks like weve seen him do for years now, being slow doesnt matter anymore does it?
Too bad hes only given 2 games to showcase his skills but we ll see how it goes this weekend
And my fearless prediction-
Be ready including NBA scouts to be surprised by an awesome mean Kai on his last SL game !!! đ€đ€đ€
A two way contract with Orlando or another NBA team then follows for our 7'3" national idol !!!đ
Keep the faith y'all Kai fans !!!đ
Kai sotto pure Filipino
I think Kai is injured. His former teammate posted it in Instagram đ
Thank you for featuring Kai Sotto.
He needs to become more agressive on and of the court. He needs to go fast moves and. Make he's better driving…
How the dribble dribble slow mo prone turnover PG who is 6th pick? Take too much minutes
The kid can play.
Kai just needs a chance
After seating down for 3 games in the summer league, of course Kai Sotto looked slow, but after a few minutes he adjusted to it. In a few games heâll be able to adjust to the NBA speed just like he adjusted to the Australia and Japan pro speed. For 13 short minutes of play, he did a lot, some say dominated or change the tempo of the game or Portlandâs dominance.. His strengths are his rebounding, his blocking, his screening and of course his shooting. Sotto should do better in the next games. Hopefully, Orlando does not make a mistake, just like the Australian coach who did not use Sottoâs talents. Hopefully, they follow Japanâs Hiroshima team which used Kaiâs talents. If not Orlando, then other NBA teams may be interested in signing up Kai Sotto.
Kai is not the right fit for the Magic he needs to hook up with some other team.
Black do not belong either in the NBA he's like playing in highschool league
Jett Howard is also a 3 star player why he's been draft because of his connection like his father
Iâm buying for bird dog if you could give Kai 1
How about Wilson shot a tons of shot he played 3 games but still the same he can't make a basket
Kai beat the us youth world basketball team and again kai beat the NBA champion Phoenix sun in an exivition game and watch Kai go again fiba world championship will be in the Philippine
Despite not being the center of attention, he performed admirably for his debut game despite being somewhat rusty from missing three straight contests. His opportunity during the few minutes, on and off. It's too soon to analyze or assess Kai Sotto's potential for just one game; your opinions that he's not NBA ready are somewhat biased. The responsibilities of the big man include rim protection, setting a screen, perimeter defense, offensive and defensive rebounding, all of which Kai, was able to perform in a very brief period of time. According to the coach, Kai Sotto performed well, which is the correct evaluation. I doubt you like Kai Sotto.
Good to see pick n roll between tyger Campbell and Kai sotto lots of possibilities broken plays can utilized if u noticed they can easily create a shot with this kind of play lots of possibilities will happen and I noticed lots of Orlando player they always force their shot and the results is lots of missed
Kai Sotto good jobs…shout out GSW let's gođ
I agree about your Kai Sottoâs assessment.
He's only 21 he has good timing blocking shots and 7"3' lots of potential
Towering Kai Sotto shows impressive 13minutes basketball stats (Blocks, Rebounds, Scoring, etc..) as a reliable Center. Only Kai didn't showcase his 3-point skills. Anyways, it's really amazing game, to Kai….Congratulations….
If you let Kai play a lot more game he can easily adjust his game like in the NBL.
