Cone, Vanguardia impressed with Sotto's skill set

After Kai Sotto's impressive effort in the Adelaide 36ers' king-sized 134-124 win over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA exhibition game on Monday (Philippine time), PBA coaches Tim Cone and Ariel Vanguardia shared their thoughts on the young Filipino center's continued NBA pursuit.

"Any chance he has to play against the highest level, the NBA, will make him a better player," Cone told The Manila Times on Monday, upon learning of Sotto's solid outing that saw the wunderkid score 11 points, highlighted by a pair of dunks, two boards, the same number of steals and an assist in 18 minutes of action.
