Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone believes young center Kai Sotto deserves the chance to shine and prove his worth when he battles European big men in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July.

“He is a perfect fit to our system both offensively and defensively. I think he really has the chance to take off with this,” Cone said of Sotto who could be facing NBA big men Kristaps Porzingis of Latvia and Goga Bitadze of Georgia in the tournament. For one, at only 22, Cone said Sotto had already experienced quality competition, having a stint in the Australian NBL and facing up against imports in Japan B.League.
“Any experience that he had he played against big strong guys in Australia, he played against imports in Japan so it’s not a stretch for him to go out and play against bigger European players,” he added.
