Kai Sotto's Return a Shot in the Arm for Gilas Pilipinas Coach Tim Cone Extremely Excited

The return of Kai Sotto to the national team has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the basketball community, and it seems that sentiment extends all the way up to the coaching staff. In a recent interview, Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone expressed his enthusiasm for having the 7-foot-2 center back on board.

We're extremely excited to have Kai back with us, Coach Cone said, echoing the sentiments of many Filipinos who have been eagerly awaiting Sotto's return to the national team. He brings a level of athleticism and skill that is hard to find in today's game.

Sotto's absence from the national team had left a significant void, particularly after his impressive performance at the 2019 FIBA World Cup where he averaged 17.3 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. His return will undoubtedly bring a boost of energy and talent to the team.

Coach Cone praised Sotto's work ethic and dedication, saying that the young big man has been putting in extra effort to improve his game. Kai has been working extremely hard on his weaknesses, and it shows, Coach Cone noted. He's always looking for ways to get better, and we're excited to see how he'll contribute to the team.

The return of Sotto marks a significant turning point for Gilas Pilipinas as they look to make a mark in international competitions. With Sotto back in the fold, fans can expect an even more formidable performance from the national team.

Overall, Coach Cone's excitement is palpable, and it seems that he is looking forward to seeing what Sotto will bring to the table. We're thrilled to have him back, and we know that he'll make a significant impact, Coach Cone said.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
