The former Ateneo star, who is back in the States to continue working out in his bid to make it to NBA, will likely grow taller in the few years but that’s not the only aspect that is going to make Sotto more lethal.

“That height will be deadly when his body fills in with muscle and he further builds up his stamina and agility and hones more basketball skills,” said EWP in a comment on the photo.
