Kai Sotto vs Nikola Jokic as a Rookie

Kai Sotto vs Nikola Jokic as a Rookie, in this video I breakdown Kai Sotto and Nikola Jokic when he was a rookie. Kai Sotto is a young Basketball player and Center in the Australian NBL, while Nikola Jokic is one of the best Centers in the NBA right now and was one of the greatest passing rookie big men of all time. I hope this breakdown and comparison helps you become a better center.

I saw Kai Sotto highlights in early 2021 and I believed he was definitely ready for the nba draft and still believe he should enter his name for next year

[@motoduu6647]

Kai is welcome in NBA

[@victoriagodinez79]

LMAO Kai is undrafted.🤡

[@JPnME4ever]

It's happening now 2023

[@jeffprilbuno472]

Kai Sotto have a strong solid fan base back in Philippines and around the world waiting for his Dream to play in the NBA..youre gaining solid fan base around the world ...Keep making video on Kai Sotto we APPRICIATE what you are doing Man.

[@casual2kfixer293]

Great Analysis Coach! Kai is like Jokic in his TSF Days because of his passing ability

[@scorpio-30]

Kai is a. Scoring machine. He is a superb blocker. Good passing ability. Soft touch. Confident. HighI. I. Q. His weakness is thd rebound awareness.

[@alkeenroienarrefmacalangco9922]

Lol

[@ajrivera0804]

As a big man, I also learn on your analysis coach, Thank you. Jokic is awesome as a passer during his rookie days while Sotto needs to develop his lateral quickness in defending and shooting 3's with a higher percentage rate.

[@bballcoachallen]

thats good to hear, I am happy to help

[@f.manalogenesonmathewsatsa2196]

The kid 7’3 with the even more importantly 7’5 wingspan, it’s going to hard for this kid not to make it to the NBA next year or maybe the year after. Good seeing more young talent

[@bballcoachallen]

I agree

[@bballcoachallen]

lol nice

[@rainron2664]

I think kai is securing his body from potential injuries..we all know that his body is not that much have built yet..he is just being cautious i think.

[@randomguy7863]

He isnt that good in the first place lol

[@erwinponferrada8632]

A lot of potential even though he's thin timing is important. Just give him playing time

[@junzab1925]

Thumb's Up!

[@ramrocker1004]

Kai is taller, quicker, more agile and athletic but jokic's IQ and court vision is off the charts. Not saying kai isnt a very smart player, Jokic's is just off the charts. Also, right now, kai still has a developing handles

[@alkeenroienarrefmacalangco9922]

Lol. kai is quicker and agile🤣

[@marklesteralvendia9476]

Thank you! 😃

[@rexcalinao6437]

Wow.. nice comparison sir.. 👏👏👏👏

[@bballcoachallen]

Thanks 🙂

[@franciscosalvador5890]

Thanks man. I also have personally compared 19-year old Sotto with then 19 years Jokic playing ing the Adriatic League. They both have the basketball IQ to initiate high percentage offensive plays. Those not in the know better get acquaintaed with this kid. He is a potential second round draft steal just as Jokic was. Ignored but both are a basketball team's gold🥇 mines - Jokic with the Nuggets and Kai with NBL Adelaide 36rs

[@jaysoncostibolo1364]

Nice boss

[@bballcoachallen]

thank you

[@jccasing7804]

Yeah I agree to you sir....👍👍👍

[@bballcoachallen]

thank you

[@agustinjohnpeters.6619]

Thank you for your analysis as always coach! I love Jokic (I am a fan since his 3rd season). Kai should learn from Jokic to improve his game.

[@bballcoachallen]

I think so too

[@arseniopaglingayen8812]

U got it.

[@edcelaraso9497]

Smart play is on the eyes and available moves✔✔✔✔

[@jah-x]

hope teams utilize him as an offensive hub because of his feel for the game and smart reads, he could run post splits or just at the top of the key same like jokic. in nbl, he's utilized as a rim runner, vertical spacer, a lob threat. in tsf, he's more of a stretch big, offensive hub, running post splits, more post-up cos of his size advantage, i also like pairing him with another big then playing high-low like AD and Boogie in NOLA. hope coaches don't just play him like a John Collins cos he's got more to offer.

[@rovelynramirez9407]

wow gudluck kai sotto your the best big man..

[@wavemaker2077]

Kai Sotto can learn from Jokic. Kai has the ability to pass and studying how Jokic passes will help him a lot. Anyway, Kai played just 5 games in the nbl so far. A very small sample size. I'm sure that he will keep improving as he plays more. His chemistry with his teammates will also improve. They are still learning how to play with each other. Aside from Jokic, Kai also needs to study how Gobert defends. Jokic is one of the best passers out there while Gobert is one of the best defenders out there. Better to learn from the masters of the craft.

[@michaelderiada3637]

Go Kai 😇🙏💓

[@francoglori855]

Good comparison idol kai sotto and my best idol jokic.

[@bballcoachallen]

thanks

[@pitbulkid]

yep..kai should learn those contacts

[@TwentyFourSevenOfficial]

I like the way how Kai Sotto getting away from Boban Marjanovic because Boban is not that quick as him in FIBA

[@fbkintanar]

Amazing. These kids are reinventing the role of center for the modern age, right before our eyes.

[@bballcoachallen]

I agree

[@gliceriomicu629]

Before jokic reach the NBA, he was playing pro in euro league. Compare kai and jokic when kai reach the NBA, not now

[@brianree00]

Kai is way too young...a massive room for improvement...but he has a mammoth potential 👍🏻

[@checkoutvrabo7581]

You give a good point guard to set up Sotto --- just like Jordan Clarkson ----- YOU WILL SEE THE VALUE OF KAI SOTTO. The point guards of MAGIC are spotlight getting , NOT playmakers.

[@javontejackson5013]

There is a difference between a good shooter and an average shooter but I like the analysis tho crazy the league is changing

[@bballcoachallen]

100%

[@isaganibho4865]

I think the performance of a player eill also depends on the movements and positions of his team mates

[@bballcoachallen]

and footwork too

[@Arn_analam]

How do you compare him to Rudy Gobert of UJazz?

[@bballcoachallen]

Gobert is a defensive monster, offensively however I dont think Gobert is very threatening, give Kai a few years and offensively he will surpass Gobert

[@vincentpaulpadilla6667]

I respect and enjoyed your analysis, its informative. If I could just clear that Jokic entered the NBA at age 23 while Kai is still 19, that's not roughly the same age. 4 years difference is quite a long time to improve and Kai being compared by you to Jokic is quite an honor for Kai. Thanks for the analysis and more power.

[@detrixxtable3282]

Jokic entered the Nba at 20… he made his first all star game at 23

[@bballcoachallen]

I thought Jokic was 20 or 21

[@gullintanni]

It does not look good for Kai Sotto imo as he's not ranked as a top 10 center in this years draft. There are a ton of talented big men coming into the L each year and getting pt is really hard. I hope he stays in Australia another year and tries to break into the big money leagues in Europe or China.

[@pinoypride3837]

Kai Sotto can lock that Joker down easily. Shall do a comparison for Wilt Chamberlain: Wilt Chamberlain: a little stronger in strength Kai Sotto: taller, faster, and more skills that fit modern day NBA perfectly

[@bballcoachallen]

both are good imo

[@matthewrutters6842]

Lol

[@modoki666]

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ you sound dumb Most of nba aren't able to lock him down and Sotto could ? Lol.. Sotto would be pushed out of the pain easily

[@luckyrelic]

Jokic was a pg when he was young, which explains his great ballhandling skills and passing abilities.... similar to Anthony Davis.... Kai is a good passer, but not on Jokic's level even at similar age...

Kai sotto unique player..wen he giv gud point guard, like TSF..

[@elliginblade3735]

I swear, don't let Spurs and Coach Pop get this guy. If they did, we can see another Tim Duncan like player or better. He is far from Jokic to be honest. Duncan is the right comparison.

[@johntuazon1366]

Coach, Kai can shoot 3's too. You'll see.

[@bballcoachallen]

I know he can, but he hasn't been showing a lot of it recently.. I think Jokic has a better shot %

[@johntherey982]

No he did not ,, it POSSIBLE ! When he practice

[@gameofshrooms8364]

you thought Kai cant shoot 3? hahaha he is not shooting because he is still getting the feel of playing since his last playing time plus the injury he got but if you check his other video not in NBL he can shoot 3

[@naldinmalang5812]

Listen to him again bro. He said Kai C-A-N shoot 3.

I meant not as good as Jokic... but I agree he's a good shooter

You Just open youtube Pandora's box

[@bballcoachallen]

lol ya

[@pensarebasketball]

This is literally insane. Why the hell are we comparing these two players? They're not similar. You just showed Kai blocking and dunking against the NBL while you showed Jokic passing against NBA players. Where's the context?

[@bballcoachallen]

age ... This is Jokic as a rookie

[@alfesastrillo3377]

[@ArTHOR-MyUNIKO]

Kai can shoot 3's

[@bilogskii2216]

I thought you would compare Kai to Jokic before he got in the nba. That would be a good yard stick.

[@bballcoachallen]

True … rookie age is close though

[@xxjackirblackbloddxx7377]

seems like a promising player but if you dont have the skill for passing jokic has u are very unlikely to ever develop it

[@bballcoachallen]

Jokic passing is amazing, dont think anyone will surpass that any time soon

[@sheenalieghgalvez3680]

A lot of american youtuber features kai because they will able to get view from Filipinos , they were just hyping.

[@bballcoachallen]

except im not really hyping.. more like teaching ... not looking to gain views or subs, if they come they come... what I want to do is to use players that people follow so I can teach the game while using their favourites ...
