Destiny will be revealed on Friday, June 23, when the NBA Rookie Draft commences in Brooklyn, New York, with the Filipino sensation pinning his hopes that the blood, sweat and tears are all worth it.
Ever since he had the growth spurt that allowed him to reach his 7-foot-3 lean frame and give this basketball-crazy nation a real hope to see a homegrown Filipino play in the NBA, Kai Sotto wanted nothing but to get his name called in one of the brightest stage in the world of basketball
After his supposed Ignite stint together with now NBA players Jalen Green and James Wiseman fell apart, Sotto tried to find another way to beef up his experience for the world’s biggest league. Failing to make some noise ahead of the draft, Sotto then went on with workouts with a number of NBA teams in hopes to convince them and take a gamble on his talent.
Despite the intriguing potential, Sotto’s name failed to reach the Top 60 in the draft final projections of some top US-based websites. After overcoming a minor injury which derailed his workout schedules, his agent Joel Bell is pinning his hopes on one undisclosed NBA team who according to him committed the Filipino center.
