Kai Sotto

Kai Sotto says the goal is to beat Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers as he reinforces Gilas Pilipinas.

Sotto got invited to play for the national team in the Asia Cup in Indonesia in July, but he missed the continental showdown as he plotted the next step of his career after going undrafted in the NBA. He debuted for the seniors squad in the final window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers in Clark, Pampanga and saw action for the national team in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Serbia last year. “Every game you play as a competitor, you try to win, and that is the goal for the next two games,” Sotto said in a story posted on the 36ers’ website.
