But of course, only a few expect him to be one of the 60 draftees in the annual extravaganza.
If that happens, he should enter the PBA draft, as soon as possible.
Why?
There are a lot of reasons, but let me give you three.
#1 We all saw what happen with Bobby Ray Parks Jr.
When Parks failed to get into the NBA, he kept his name on the international game, instead of going home and own the PBA. Now, he is 24, and we are still waiting for him to enter the PBA draft.
There is a big chance that he will do it this year, but imagine what he missed in not entering the PBA, earlier?
#2 Entering the PBA doesn't mean his NBA dream is over
NBA scouts nowadays, are all over the globe. In our reinforced conferences, Commissioner's Cup and Governors Cup, there are some NBA scouts who watch our games. We also heard about some interest for Terrence Romeo and June Mar Fajardo in the past.
The fear that entering the PBA will close the door to the NBA, is not true. Actually, it could be the best path for Kobe. If he is truly an NBA level talent, he should enter the 2018 draft and join Kia and carry them for the next two seasons!
If he can do that, he will only be 24 years old at the end of those two years, ripe for a shot in the NBA!
#3 PBA is waiting for their Greatest of All Time
Okay. June Mar Fajardo may lock that one in five years, but still, the chance is still there. The tools that Kobe Paras has, is real. I don't know if he has the drive and grind, but he is still young to develop himself into something great.
The baller that will be considered as the Greatest PBA player of All Time will expect marketability and power in the Philippines that was never seen in the country. In short, more powerful than a Manny Pacquiao.
Why? Because basketball's popularity in the country, dwarfs the attractiveness of boxing.
