Get the latest complete game-by-game stats and video highlights for Ateneo Blue Eaglets center. 7'3" Kai Zachary Sotto (born May 11, 2002), son of former PBA player Ervin Sotto, a member of the Mythical Five and was named Finals MVP of the UAAP Season 80 juniors basketball tournament averaging 17 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 6.3 blocks in the three-game title playoffs.
Kai earns FIBA U16 Asia Championship Mythical First Team selection and the most efficient player of the competition with a rating of 21.5, after averaging 16.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks.
The Adelaide 36ers have announced that rising young Filipino talent Kai Sotto has signed a multi-year deal with the club. The emerging talent will join the team from the 2021/2022 season.
Standing at 7'3" (220cm) and just 19 years old, Sotto has had significant global interest. He has signed with the Adelaide 36ers for two seasons, with an option for a third, following several months of discussions between the 36ers, Sotto and his agent Joel Bell.
Sotto has signed under the NBL’s Special Restricted Player rule provision allowing the club - and the league - to continue to build on strong relationships within the FIBA Asian region. [source]
