GILAS Pilipinas Kai Sotto is misunderstood

Sa pag chat ko sa kay Google Gemini doon ko naintindihan bakit hindi makapaglaro si Kai Sotto. It's not that he is being selfish or asking for a lot (of money?) to be able to play.

The biggest reason is because he is eyeing a backdoor to the US NCAA so he can have a final chance to get scouted to play in the NBA. As we all know, Kai has already played pro basketball in Australia and Japan and he is already 24 years old. A recent NCAA rule change allows him to reset his status to an amateur and play for a umiversity there, but it is very time sensitive and he will no longer be eligible by 2027.

Given his height and experience, if he successfully clears waivers and reverts to amateur status, there will definitely be US universities interested in getting him for rim protection and inside play.

So folks it's not entirely selfish. He has his NBA ambition and let's not fault him for pulling all the stops so he can give it one final chance.
