LA’s NBA coach to Sotto: Keep working, stay ready READ MORE:
Three-time champion assistant coach Phil Handy of the Los Angeles Lakers believes that Filipino center Kai Sotto has the tools to someday make it into the NBA.
“I believe he’s very talented. I don’t believe in putting timelines on athletes. I’ve had a chance to see him play for a couple of years. He’s naturally gifted. He spent some time down in Australia, and that really helped develop his game” explained Handy, who finished his playing career as an import in the National Basketball League, where Sotto started his professional career.
Handy, a 6’5” former guard for the Golden State Warriors, is in the Philippines to share his knowledge with elite local school teams and the Converge FiberXers of the Philippines Basketball Association. At his arrival press conference on Monday, Handy said that Filipinos in general have the heart to play basketball at the highest level. He said that for those like Sotto, all that remains is to be given the right break to get into the big leagues.”
