Kai Sotto Might Be Joining The Warriors Really Soon…

In the high stakes world of the NBA where fewer than 5% of players come from Asia one towering figure stands on the cusp of changing this Statistic after meticulously watching and analyzing koto’s games from Japan’s B League I’ve dissected the depths of his basketball skill set highlighting the qualities that show he’s prepared for the next [Applause] level this begs the questions can the recent performance of this young Phenom in Japan truly foreshadow his success in

The NBA what challenges will stto face transitioning from the Japanese League to the NBA and last but not least what qualities does kais SoDo possess that makes him the perfect asset to play alongside Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors ladies and gentlemen make sure you buckle up because we’re diving

Into the deep end of this today kaoto was on track to join the g-league ignite team at one point yes the same launch pad which kickstarted the NBA careers of lottery picks like Jaylen green and Jonathan kaminga as green lobs it up to kaminga what a combination but then just like a

Lockdown Defender the pandemic stepped in and sent stto back to square one playing Hoops in his homeland instead undeterred stto took another swing at his NBA Dream during the 2023 summer league and despite his limited playing time he still managed to sneak in a few standout moments worth remembering and

Sorrow another ch Dan in a thunderous jail unfortunately to stack onto his limited minutes injuries decided to join the game benching our hopes of seeing sto’s full range of talents on display a bit longer yet in the quick Glimpse we caught Phil handy who’s not just any assistant coach but a three-time NBA

Champion saw the sparkle of NBA promise in stto handy almost sounding like a fan pre soda’s undeniable skills in natural knack for the game remarking I believe he’s very talented he’s naturally gifted it could be the summer it could be next year it really just depends on the

Opportunity marking stto not just as a player to watch but is a rising International phenomenon ready to make his Mark in the NBA as for Kai after getting banged up in the NBA Summer League he decided to take a little trip back to Asia for some serious

Brainstorming he wanted to make sure he was ready to show everyone what he’s capable of because despite flashes of dominance there were still swirling rumors about his limitations the circling kaoto zeroed in on his size and his experience while he Towers at a skyscraping 73 or 74 giving wanyama a

Run for his money in the height Department the spotlight turned to his need for a bit more mass because let’s be honest facing off with NBA giants like Giannis yic and embiid isn’t exactly a stroll in the park it requires muscle something SoDo was in the process

Of building up then when it comes to experience SoDo was like a starving artist Down under in the NBL Australia’s Premier basketball Battleground his minutes were restricted hindering his ability to develop and redefine his skills through regular on the floor action Jonathan kinga’s earlier years with the Golden State Warriors offers airror to Soto’s tail kaminga too was on a minutes diet that would have made any

Player hungry for more however once he consistently received around 30 minutes of playing time in his fourth season his potential became evident and promising as he’s now seen as the future of the Warriors speaking of assist Player Development undoubtedly requires a substantial amount of playing time an ingredient that SoDo initially

Lacked but in his quest for more SoDo took his talents to Japan’s B League joining the Yokohama B Corsair there he’s delivering performances so remarkable that they’re leaving Scouts and fans eager for more for example kicking off the 2024 season on the cautious side due to bouncing back from an injury stto began

Turning up the heat as he found his Groove again as his confidence in play improved his Play Time received a significant upgrade jumping from a quick Cameo of 10 to 15 minutes per game to starring rolls of nearly 30 minutes by February which naturally gave his stats

A nice little boost and just like that stto started to make waves quickly earning himself the title of a double double machine his towering presence alone was enough to make him into a formidable obstacle for anyone brave enough to approach the rim effortlessly blocking shots and dominating both

Offensive rebounds and layups as if it were a second nature and while his three-point game is still under construction Snippets from practice sessions suggest he’s laying the groundwork to become a deadly stretch five for the time being his knack for passing is stealing the spotlight showcasing a player who is not

Only improving in specific areas but also expanding his overall skill set this is growing to be a necessity in the modern NBA where the League’s unicorns are giants who can do it all score in the paint set up their teammates and knock down shots from downtown it’s this versatile Arsenal that distinguishes

Super stars like joic and has put alperin shenon on the fast track to becoming a league standout and guess what that’s the same potential people see in SoDo then when it came to his criticisms about his overall body mass stto set his Ambitions high at the

Beginning of the 2024 season as he and his crew started a plan to bulk him up with an extra 15 lbs of muscle a mission that’s been showing impressive results on the court take March 3rd for example stto strutted his beefed up game racking up 21 points 12 rebounds and four

Assists on a smooth 9 for2 shooting night he didn’t stop there the next game saw him amping up the heat with 23 points and 10 rebounds all while serving an assist and shooting an eye-catching 11 for 14 from the floor and just for good measure he kept the momentum in his

Following game notching 16 points and 14 rebounds alongside two assists making 64% of his shots look easy and due to his exceptional play in a league considered a step below the NBA some basketball coaches have started referring to stto as the best center outside the NBA this title although unofficial is a

Test estimate to his unbelievable talent and his ability to drastically affect the outcome of games this brings us to the burning question on everyone’s mind how will sto’s recent Showcases of skill play out in the NBA well considering his towering frame and the bulk he’s added he’s certainly not going to fade into

The background he’s already looking down on many NBA centers quite literally and is bulking up in the muscle department at a pace that might make even Giannis take notice given he’s only 22 stto has ample time to develop further suggesting that by the time he steps onto an NBA

Court he might just be the full package height strength and all Soto stint playing overseas has also been like a masterclass in team basketball which let’s face it is kind of the secret sauce for international players Making Waves in the NBA while the US might boast about its individual talents it’s

The all for one one for-all mentality from abroad that has taken the league by storm in recent years take for example the 2023 FBA games where the US team stacked with Talent found themselves in a bit of trouble against Montenegro before ultimately falling to not just Lithuania but Germany and Canada as well

Canada maybe their greatest moment in international basketball the men’s team it turns out playing well with others is more than just kindergarten advice it’s crucial for winning at the highest levels for kaoto to establish himself in the NBA he’ll need a team that values teamwork over individual stardom and

That’s where the Golden State Warriors come in an organization that’s practically the gold standard when it comes to teamwork playing alongside Steph Curry isn’t just prestigious but also strategic as it allows sto to maximize Team Dynamics because as we all know by now the warriors’s biggest weakness comes from their lack of size

In fact ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins practically sings this from the mountaintops on a daily basis that the Warriors might as well be playing in platform shoes given their lineup’s lack of verticality bringing kaoto to the Warriors could be the game changer they’ve been looking for I mean just picture him with Trace Jackson Davis

Protecting the rim for 48 minutes a night making it a nightmare for opponents to score inside third quarter oh what a block from Jackson Davis and another one and when it comes to Steph Curry and Klay Thompson let’s face it they’re not getting any younger their defensive abilities is especially with

Clay is already on a massive decline but with a 7’3 sto lurking in the paint acting as a last line of defense opponents will have to think twice when attacking the paint less they want to end up on the wrong side of a highlight reel favorites another one finally with the Warriors tendency

For creating mismatches with all their split action stto under the basket would really add that extra dimension of offensive capability that the Warriors desperately need I mean remember all those easy points that javil McGee used to get for them inside and javil McGee’s got two dunks in the first minute Steph

Curry has been saying for a while now that the team needs to find different ways to score and bringing in SoDo as a scorer near the basket could be the exact approach they need while still committed to the Yokohama be Corsair Soto’s NBA debut feels like it’s just

Around the corner with Summer Whispers getting louder sure he went undrafted in 2022 but these days going undrafted is like wearing a badge of honor just look at the roster of undrafted players who have outperformed many Lottery talents Nas Reed Fred Van vet Alex Caruso Gary pton II Duncan Robinson

The list goes on stto seems poised to join this illustrious crew ready to unleash his unique blend of skills and size and ready to prove the doubters wrong ultimately this could leave NBA Scouts feeling very embarrassed his trajectory reminds me of that of Trace Jackson Davis of the Warriors another

Player who was largely underestimated just like stto tjd was overlooked going at the 57th pick in the latest 2023 draft and since then has made a significant impact for the Warriors showcasing the oversight by Scouts is a glaring mistake in fact it’s absolutely criminal how Scouts overlooked him and
