JALEN Green's got his eye on Kai Sotto.
"I love Kai's game, super good, actually just got extra," he told Spin.ph on Friday, in a group interview with other media organized by adidas PH.
The Houston Rockets guard believed it's only a matter of time until Sotto gets his time to shine.
The 7-foot-3 Pinoy wunderkind went undrafted in the recent 2022 NBA Rookie Draft, even as he remains the Philippines' closest homegrown bet to the big leagues.
Jalen sees this draft 'heartbreak' as part of the process for Kai.
"He's just on a different journey right now. Everyone has their own path, and this is his story," he continued. "He's gonna make it when he wants to. I think he loves the game. Just got to wait to see it."

Green is only the third player with Filipino descent to make it to the NBA, following Jordan Clarkson and Raymond Townsend.
But he's positive that the NBA dream is not impossible for a homegrown Pinoy.
"For sure [Filipinos have a place]. Anybody is, all round the world," he said. "You just gotta push your mind, stick to the ground, don't lose yourself."
