Who is Kai Sotto? Looking closely at the player
profile of the Filipino basketball star
Kai Sotto, who went undrafted in the 2022 NBA draft, has been plying
his trade in the first division of the B.League, Yokohama on loan. The
lanky Filipino center missed the start of the 2023-24 season due to an
injury. In the 2022-23 season, he averaged 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4
assists, and 1.3 blocks for Hiroshima.
Before deciding to play Yokohama on loan, Sotto contributed to the
Philippines national team in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, averaging 6.0
points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
Sotto was a four-star college prospect. He later decided to forego
college ball to play for the G-League Ignite, where he could have been
teammates with the Houston Rockets’ Jalen Green. The Filipino made
G-League history as the first international player to be officially signed
by the league.
The chance to play in the G-League for the Ignite, however, went down
the drain due to complications with Sotto’s national team
commitment. He played for the Philippines during the 2021 FIBA Asia
qualifiers. After playing for the flag, Sotto and Ignite ultimately reached
a decision not to proceed with the partnership.
The G-League’s loss was the Australian National Basketball League’s
win. Kai Sotto was signed as a “Special Restricted Player,” which made
him a local instead of an import in the NBL. The presence of the Filipino
star, however, wasn’t enough to end the 36ers’ 20-year title drought.
The entire Philippine nation was desperately hoping the NBA would
finally have its first pure Filipino basketball player among its ranks. Kai
Sotto reportedly worked out for several teams but wasn’t deemed
good enough to be drafted.
Among the teams he worked out for was the Sacramento Kings, where
he had the chance to meet Philippine basketball legend Jimmy
Alapag. After various coaching stints in the Philippines, Alapag is now
with the Stockton Kings, the G-League team of the NBA’s Kings
Several basketball scouts and analysts see the potential in the 7’3 Kai
Sotto. His build is remarkably close to that of Chet Holmgren, who was
picked No. 2 by the OKC Thunder in the same draft as Sotto.
Kai Sotto is still quite raw compared to Chet Holmgren, which is a big
reason why he’s going back B.Leaugue to polish his skills there. Like the
Thunder rookie, though, he will have to add more muscle to his frame
if he wants to play in the NBA
