This year, they’re putting together a “select team” composed of top high-school recruits to help them accelerate their chances of getting into the NBA.

The latest to announce his commitment was Filipino talent and 7-foot-2 Kai Sotto, who will be joining five-star recruits Jalen Green, Isaiah Todd, and Daishen Nix in a squad based in Southern California.They have closely monitored his career at Ateneo and his decision to go to the United States and chase his dream.

He is ranked inside the Top 20 by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports. The former Michigan commit announced he would forego his collegiate career and join the inaugural pro program.From Maryland, he went to chase basketball in Richmond, Virginia and then after a couple of stops found a home in Raleigh. He ended up committing to being a Wolverine, and becoming their highest-ranked commit in the modern recruiting era.Many scouts salivate over his impressive athleticism and coordination, especially for his age. This gem of a combo allows him to show his versatility on the court.

Defensively, he has the potential to be a really good defender in the league. His leaping ability and 7-foot wingspan allow him to be a good rim protector, while his mobility and advanced foot work enable him to cover ball handlers outside. Like Todd, Nix surprised many when he decided to decommit from UCLA and turn pro. He made his announcement on April 28, exactly two weeks after Todd.

Offers from more than 15 college programs indicated how good of a player he was. These include prominent institutions such as Kansas, LSU, Gonzaga, Marquette, and UCLA.
