The Warriors Found Their Next Young Star Kai Sotto
The Golden State Warriors are in need of a big man after trading away James Wiseman. Now, they may have found their next young star in 7'3" Filipino center Kai Sotto. Sotto has elite rim protection skills and impressive footwork that fits the Warriors system. He proved himself overseas after going undrafted and looked solid in summer league for the Magic. Sotto's combination of size, defensive potential, shooting ability, and playmaking IQ makes him an ideal flier for the Warriors. The one knock is his injury history, suffering untimely ailments before key workouts. If Sotto can stay healthy, he could be the next hidden gem uncovered by Golden State. This video analyzes why the Warriors should take a chance on the international unicorn big man Kai Sotto to bolster their frontcourt. - Sport
Wow Kai sotto is really earning that popularity in the states. This is not the first time I saw him being talked about and being mentioned in rumors.
pinoy baited lol
that's because he has multiple fans and they're just using your idol to get views.
Why not? In case you haven't noticed it, if the subject is about Filipinoes, these vloggers gain a lot of views from those proud Filipinoes lol.
It's just rumors
Yeah so you could get baited..
This will help the warriors be so relevant for the future in their young core
Pride of the Philippines Kai Sotto❤️
Thank you bruh you made the Filipinos happy for appreciating kai ❤
Thanks man for our Kai Sotto! Hope he can make it to NBA!
I will take a chance for a minimum contract with a huge potential.
BS 😅😅😅😅😅
Kai Sotto is not NBA potential sorry to say that but truth
Lets go!!!! I 💯 agree. He is the perfect guy and more important at the perfect price!
😂😂 . Weak
Given he develops well under their system. Will spend a lot of time in the g league. Haters can say all they want!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If Wiseman who's already in good shape didn't work out on warriors, so what would be the odds for Kai to be signed? I mean, even Kuminga didn't really got much playing time despite being more athletic. they were still sent to G-league, or Benched and for wiseman who's later on got traded out. I'm still rooting for Kai to make it and Goodluck to him
i think they want to create new stragegy thats why
pinoy baited
Kai sotto is different than James Wiseman because Kai sotto is so much smarter and have many skilled he use left hand and right hand plus more defensive than Wiseman..
Yeah Kai is a chill guy. Met him last weekend and I’m impressed with him as an athlete. I hope to be cheering him on when he gets to the NBA… I always followed him but meeting him so randomly like I did was amazing. Good conversation and engaging with talk.
He is trash my friend
This is what the warriors need to stay dominant in the NBA
Lets go kai💪
For the right price kai Sotto is a perfect fit. Not expensive but has a massive potential all around big
Seen him play, he's not pro level
Go Kai Big support from Ph..
We want kai...from the Philippines...
To be honest ..he is not good at all .
True, there many 7 footer players out there whose way better than Kai Sotto, Sorry Phillipines. NBA is not about pleasing the wishes of a country. It's a league of elites.
KAI: thank you guys for the my critics of suppression, it does still a publicity after all🙏🏼
@natsumidesu8019 you not Kai. If you were Kai, then your reasoning for not being in the league is "suppression" or any other reason other than skill, then you're not going to make it. Kai needs to get better and actually play in a league that better than the one he is currently in, like Euro. 8 point 6 rebounds in Japan will not get you into the NBA. No one owes you a roster spot because of your nationality. The NBA is a league centered around the best 400-500 players in the world. Kai is not considered that in basketball circles.
@@airealarmour3281 No one owes you a roster because of your nationality?was it still an issue here?and the Chinese came along with your so called league of elites? Your funny 😆
Go kai❤❤❤
thanks for appreciating kai sotto…i think kai has a lot of room of improvement and he has a potential if there is a chance or if they give him a break or signing him in
G-League in small amount of contract just to test ability and the impact of his game on the team…why not right?
This is like the third video I've seen saying Golden State found their center when he doesn't play for Golden State why is everybody trying to force this average rookie center to Golden State mind you I am in Orlando Magic's fan and I was excited to see him play they didn't play him but when they did he did not excite me at all
Kai Sotto can ba an asset to any team.
thanks bro, kai is also ring protector have passing skills and shooting.
there is called "Character development" which Kai can be taught while is in the league if they gave him a chance. By proper coaching and proper building.
You are partially there. Kai should have gone to college in the US, played G-League for years. His management does not know what they/he is doing. But, by this age, it is already too late. Character development deals with your mental situation, meaning you are not a spoiled child or ball hog. That does not apply here. Talent is what applies here. In the NBA height is nothing more than a bonus to an already talented player. In reality, Kai does not know how to properly run, does not have mental toughness, does not have the strength needed for his position and all of that is clear from the NBL. China would be a good career for Kai as a back-up player. Kai needs to do that before even that is too late. NBA talent? Next year’s center draft class is really good and those 17 year olds are already just as/more talented than Kai.
@@brittinfisher8102 Right on
Kai isnt the only player that can be taught tho😂😂 other better players can also be taught
Another fisherman.. congratulation for your additional subscriber...
Go Kai for the warriors
Kai pls i will watch nba live every game . To support the team
Kai's still young and have plenty of room for improvement and growth. I think GSW may have a sensible choice in molding Kai Sotto. We'll see!
Overated
@@bsme2249, you must be speaking of Lebron?!
he got the talent, still raw, if he could put on some weight to clash inside the paint as big hes gonna be huge to the warriors
Talent where? Hahahahaha
Go Kai ❤
I made my research and find out that this kid had a good basketball IQ. His visiting team from Australia stunned the home team Phoenix Suns 134-124. Kai Sotto finished with 11 points on 3-for-6 shooting from the field, including one 3-pointer, two rebounds, one assist, and two steals in nearly 18 minutes of action. He had a pair of dunks and also went a perfect 4-for-4 from the line. Not bad for his first NBA appearance. I think with proper guidance from a good trainer, this kid will part of the next modern big men of NBA like Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren.
Ahhh no.
Actually, it is “did” my research. And if you knew basketball you would have realized that game was an anomaly, great for the Sixers and the Suns were caught not playing up to par and taking the Sixers seriously from the start. Sotto was nowhere near the reason the Sixers played so well and won, as Kai merely had 8% of the Sixers’ points. That game was guard and 3-pt heavy with the Sixers shooting out of their mind and McCarron dishing a whopping 16 assists. Kai had an OK game off the bench but was not really that impressive. The guards were the Bomb! For pro sports in America you do not get a free ticket! One must earn it over seasons to prove you can consistently produce. In the NBL and Japan… Sotto has proven he is far from it. In America, athletes are fit like nowhere else in the world. Just watching Kai run you can tell he is not pro level. Such will not last in the NBA, which has a very long season as compared to anything else. China is a good spot for Kai to try and get playing time.
Research his summer league games then 😂😂 3xDNP + 2 garbage time games + 1 injury
@randomguy7863 Kai just does not have it... proven time and time, again. I hope he at least tries China before hanging up his shoes.
@@brittinfisher8102 you think he can hang in China? It's a step up from Japan but Sotto just seems like he doesn't get "it" in terms of basketball. I think in a year or 2, he will be in the PBA and the Phillipine ppl will say it was politics and racism why he didn't make the NBA
I love golden state warriors go kai sotto
YES ,YOUR RIGHT . I TOLD WARRIORS.TO GET KAI SOTTO.💪👍
Agree Sir.. Warriors can definitely improve kai's skills..
yes go Kai to warriors.. hope warriors get kai sotto on his team..
Kai Sotto ID superstar in the Philippines#PrideofthePhillipines 🏆🇵🇭🎉
Imagine watching GSW with Kai Sotto 😮
He's Young and can develop his skills with the proper staff. Give the young guy a try.
❤
Philippines big big fans for the warriors, much more when we have Kai sotto in the warriors , warriors need a big man,
Congratulations Warriors!! You just hired the best player from far East, Philippines. He is an excellent player like my idol Stephen Curry. Now you have two excellent player in your team.
😂😂 you do realise this vid is 7months ago
Kai can make what warriors need
Kai sotto!❤❤❤
If only gsw are smart this center is they need because he has all the skill they need and they have a chance to win nba chanpionship with kai sotto as their main center..
Proud pinoy
Warrios need to sign Kai Sotto and Drew Timmy to enforce the guys down the pole.
Kalokohan Kai sotto lampa
@robertacosta6045
What ever does THAT look like?… or even mean? Poles in the game mostly in Poland
@@wilgoster It means the center and forward position.
@@wilgoster if you do not know what that means… you do not know basketball!
Gogogo!!! Kai to GSW. I'm no.1 fans of gsw
They shoulda kept Wiseman and traded Poole for Porzingis.
They didn't and don't need LaMelo, Halliburton, Bane or whoever else you said, well, maybe Bane.
They could trade Kuminga for GPii if JK is actually unhappy in his role. What i heard is Kerr didn't trust him on defense. So even though it's thought that Kuminga has higher upside, you're moving a super athletic guy who you don't trust on defense for a super athletic guy who knows your system and plays great defense. You can't always fall in love with names on paper.
Wiseman barely played college ball and then was hurt last year. Looney played 5 games his first year, 53 games his second year, averaging 2.5pts and 2.3rb, and now he's a menace! i don't understand what the rush to get rid of JW was, and if the idea was doing right by him and sending him to a team where he can make mistakes, why'd they trade him to a team with ten centers already 😂
I dunno how Porzingis would affect the salary cap situation but he likes to hang around the perimeter on offense, which makes him playable next to Mr. offensive rebound Looney or Draymond, and he blocks a lot of shots. Admittedly I didn't watch a lot or any Wizards games last year but Porzingis had over 100 blocks i think. Just having someone 7'3" on the court is helpful sometimes.
Anyway, I'm glad they didn't trade Wiggins and the Kuminga/Moody picks for Beal bc i was prepared to become a Kings fan if they did 😂
Wiseman was trash and in Detroit he is trash
Will this kind of promoting of Kai Sotto is a good move, if this vlogger earn viewers from filipino's, Kai Sotto will also benifits his content. Thank u and more power and viewers.
Attitude is one of the most important inNBA
I'll just believe it when I see Kai playing in NBA. Most of these NBA teams loves to ride on someone's hype and fame. Kai has been famous in Asia and Australia.
I’m sorry to observe that KS moves like a high schooler, and slowly. Until he develops
some fast twitch with hops, this sad sack vid will play on. Sign Javale McGee
A lot of talk around Kai. I'm hoping the buzz around Kuminga will translate in a team picking up Kai. He deserves to be in at least the G league.
Give kai aotto a chance
Give the Filipino kid a chance and he might surprise everyone like his boxer friend.
Stats will come up if he already adapt NBA if ever he gets a contract.. watch FIBA, NBL, AND JAPAN LEAGUE..
No way he not tough enough to play in the nba that is why no one pick him warriors should of pick cam whitmore have the heart and skill to play in the nba.
Nice kai
So it was hype ! Im willing to bet my entire paycheck that Kai Sotto will never be an NBA player
Ohh really? 😂
nah, its to increase ticket sales among the PH community in Cali
Go kai
The warriors need a two way center and a defensive player and a shooter
I just hope Kai Sotto the first pure filipino to play NBA n with Warriors.
He might get an NBA contract after FIBA if he shows up.
Kai🏀💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
100 % fit to warriors...by the help of steve kerr can develop kai.. dribbling ang shooting can develop for sure...
kai sotto perfect for gsw....
Wiseman is way better than Kai Sotto. Why tf would the warriors waste another roster spot for a beanpole?
Go KAI!
The “t” in debut is actually silent, bro. 🙊
How come he is not in the roster in yesterday’s game against the Lakers
Si Kai Lang Ang sakalam!
THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO HIRE KAI SOTTO OTHERWISE YOU WILL REGRET LATER!!!
Wherever Sotto is..we will support him and his team.
He is in my country, the philippines
Let's face it. Health is one of the most important things on NBA teams that's why no team wants him. Put yourself in a team owner's or GM's perspective, you have a 7 footer thin as heck and you are gonna spend money on him to "develop" him and make him stronger, instead of putting that money on developing further his skills. Then you have to worry about him being injured each and every game. It's not business worthy and that's what the game is all about now, money.
Kai sotto is fit for that
Give him a chance
He can go down in NBA history as “he could have been”. NBA is not his world. He is Asian / Filipino and not American! Big factor!
It was the SECOND overall pick.
Kai doesnt have stamina yet to play long.but if he plays 3 to 4 mins quality defense it can help the team in some ways.its how will they train him
Deserve NBA Kai sotto ❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Gogogo Kai.. Will see you there.. Gsw
Chet Holgrem & Victor Wembanyama set the bar high.
Like what we say in the Philippines, si Kai Sotto marami pa kakaining bigas
He needs to work 2x to catch up with the unicorns
if the NBA doesn't work out, there's the Japan B. League
I have nothing against Sotto, but have had friends who have played center in Australia, both best on their teams. Sotto cannot even cut it on his own team, let alone in that league, or any level in the US… likely not even the G-League, or he would have proved it the past 2 years. Bad guidance with lack of talent. But, he should play in China, if he can.
It's obvious to a lot of ppl outside of the Philippines. It's no hate, it's just a reality. He may develop into a solid back up center in China, but he just not good enough for Australia, NBA and Euro
@@airealarmour3281 I have been to the Philippines on a few occasions, and all over a good chunk of Asia as my father was an airline captain for Pan Am and United. I played a lot of pickup and challenge hoops over in that part of the world, as well as several family members. Same goes for Australia/NZ, and more. The game is getting better, but it is not like the US, or even some parts of Europe. Kai should change management as his direction has gone nowhere his pro career. China is his ticket, plus staying close to home. The NBL is just too tough for his lack of agility and fitness. As we have seen, extra size means little in the NBA.
Wisemen was the number 2 pick btw..
Try Toronto Raptors, they may need back up there.
Sadly, the NBA has some dark secrets - seldom foreign players are given the chance, Preference is always on home grown talents. Marketing ??
Agree. Kai Sotto is fast developing to be an asset player
Based upon exactly what?
Fast developing and still not getting minutes in Bleague😂😂
Sotto play for the Warriors? Not a chance. I like to watch Sotto, but he's already shown to get pushed around in the NBA Summer Leagues. If he cant add meaningful weight he'll be playing somewhere in Asia.
Kai wouldn't make it to the NBA just playing for Japan. He has refused offers from European teams which is baffling because he could've developed and improved there 🤦♂️
It's about money. He is making a profitable living being a promotional tool. It's not about making a career out of basketball, it's more about being a pinoy celebrity with him. That's the only explanation for some of his bad decisions
so this is the new Draymond's punching bag ?
Why not sign Kai , he can be a big soon as the game goes on
wow Kai😄
have u seen the game phoenix suns vs kai australian team?
Yes, and it was amazing what the 2 guards and forwards did! They shot lights out and one guard had 16 assists! But Kai was not much of a contributor in the win. Kai merely had 8% of the Sixers’ points, low in the rest of the stats and 2 turnovers, as many as his assists. It appears in your mind that Kai was the reason for the win, or substantially was a lead contributor is nonsense! Kai merely came off the bench and was barely effective enough to keep on the floor. The game was extremely high scoring and that was not the playoff-time Suns who were so bad they had to desperately trade too much for KD as they were not a good team up to that point. Further, they got rid of their point guard and others, at a financial loss, just to be able to stay in the playoffs in the future. Check the stats of that game! Or, watch it!
@@brittinfisher8102 nba cried that time
@@mikrotech666 You know... It was news for about a day, then nobody really cared. The Suns had pulled back their starters thinking the 3's would stop... but they never did. The Sixers played their best game in years and set a record for their 3's (no thanlks to Sotto who merely had 1, if I recall). But it was a lesson learned on how not to slack off and allow lesser teams an open window... but that shooting and assist display by the starting team was phenomenal that game.
Go kabayan
Gsw hadn't had a decent big since demarcus cousins
hoping kai for golden state warriors, exciting player
you just made this up
Sotto needs improvement train sotto indribbling in order to penetrate inside to score do not rely much in your teammates also improve your builts be physically strong andmost important is your ability to your decision making ability in court
One more be a scorer aim high
Agree and he's a little bit softie
At Sotto's age, that is entirely unrealistic. To be an NBA player Kai would have needed to have that already down at 18. Further, that kind of play/game for a center is rare in the NBA. There is nothing to suggest that Sotto could ever do that, nor is physical or agile enough to ever play in the NBA.
His biggest injury is being Filipino
Kai 🔥
Get'em now and Da Dream to be his personal trainer/ you should have done that for Wiseman 🤔
Kai Sotto is tall, but soft. Dubs need a big with a mean streak instead.
He can develop in that aspect. Sheesh man, ur so negative
Dubs also need a legitimate bigman that can stretch the floor. So yeah. He will more likely develop his body than dray and looney develop a consistent outside shooting.
@@GamerBro22299 He is not. What I’ve, he is realistic. All that needs to be done by the individual well before coming to the NBA. What people outside do not understand is that the
E USA is the pinnacle of the world for most sports. You have to already have those skills before the NBA will want you. The NBA is not for training, but rather refining what a player already has. Go for China where Kai might be able to one day make a starting lineup and get some more floor time. The NBA is where the PROVEN best in the world play.
@@rald9291Kai should have already developed his body, but he obviously did not. Have you seen Kai run? It’s like a non-athletic girl. That should have been trained out before he could drive… but his management either screwed up or they tried and they cannot correct it. Either way Kai needs to be a top producer of another league before he is considered good enough for a bench spot in the NBA. Go to China and get experience.
@@brittinfisher8102 Mr Smartypants, I don’t need ur bullshit analysis
guys. The answer to GSW is Bonel, The Balingit man😊
get kai, try if he is fit to warriors
