ICYMI: In terms of popularity and reach in the Philippines, Kai Sotto could be compared to Yao Ming’s in China.
The 7-foot-6 center was an eight-time NBA All-Star and led the Rockets to four playoff appearances before injuries shortened his career.The 20-year-old Sotto carried the hopes of millions of Filipinos on his shoulders when he declared for the 2022 NBA Draft.
Although he went undrafted, Sotto remained determined to become the first full-blooded Filipino to reach the NBA.“He is going to keep evolving, keep developing, and he’s going to help us get to where we need to go.”ADVERTISEMENT “Not everyone gets drafted, but it’s not the end of the world. He talks the right way like most kids in this competition, but now you need to play the right way and do it for yourself,” said Bruton.
The Gilas Pilipinas slotman is averaging 6.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks on only 11.8 minutes per game for Adelaide, which holds an 8-8 record.
