Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) President Al Panlilio said Tuesday that the third window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers should not be the basis in gauging where Kai Sotto is now in terms of improvement or what the future holds for him in his basketball career.
While the SBP chief understands the expectations since Sotto has been training in the US to prepare for the NBA, Panlilio urged Filipino basketball fans to support the journey of the player.
“Easy lang tayo sa kanya (Let’s take it easy on him),” said Panlilio as he appeared on the weekly PSA Forum online.
