United City FC rounds out roster with National Team keeper Anthony Pinthus

United City Football Club caps its full roster announcement, ahead of the FIFA transfer window deadline this week, with the signing of 22-year old Fil-Swiss goalkeeper — Anthony Pinthus from the Azkals Development Team, who also served as a goalkeeper for the Philippine Under-23 National Men's Football Team, during the 30th South East Asian Games campaign.

Prior to his ADT stint, Pinthus was also affiliated with clubs such as FC Kosova, FC Wohlen, and GC Zurich U21.

According to UCFC co-founder Eric Gottschalk, “True to our mission of developing young players, we have signed Antony Pinthus, on loan from ADT.  This was also agreed on by both clubs and supported by Philippines National Head Coach Scott Cooper, to expose Pinthus to the AFC Cup competition. “

“He is the most promising goalkeeper of the Philippines after Neil and Roland and we are happy that he decided to join us for this season, as we believe that UCFC is the right platform to expose him to top Asian football, while learning from our veterans such as Stephan Schroeck and Bienve Maranon.”

Gottschalk continues, “The signing of Pinthus marks the completion of the roster ahead of the transfer window deadline this week.  As for the position of Head Coach, we have prepared a shortlist of a number of highly qualified individuals and we will make an announcement  in due time.”

Pinthus joins the roster, along with Stephan Shrock, OJ Porteria, Sean Patrick Kane, Ron Bayan, Jun Badelic, Angelo Marasigan, Robert Mendy, Arnie Pasinabo, Tristan Robles, Dennis Villanueva, Joshua Dutosme, Takashi Odawara, Hikaru Minegishi, Bienvenido Maranon, Mike Ott, Manuel Ott, Pocholo Bugas, Jordan Jarvis, Jorrel Aristorenas, and Jose Miguel Clarino.

Kai Sotto skills similar to Nikola Jokic, says G League coach

Filipino teen basketball prospect Kai Sotto has the potential to turn into someone such as Denver Nuggets All-Star center Nikola Jokic, according to NBA G League Select Team head coach Brian Shaw.

Shaw said in an article posted on ABS-CBN Sports that, based on video he has seen, the 7-foot-2 Sotto showed versatility and could shoot from the outside.

"I think he has the ability to play like Nikola Jokic. Kai can shoot from the outside. Obviously, I haven't had the chance to be around him yet, but from the film that I watched, it looks like he could shoot the ball from outside," said Shaw, a former Nuggets head coach who won 3 championships with the Los Angeles Lakers as a player.

Sotto, 18, decided to forego college basketball and instead join the G League, where he will play with other top prospects including US-based Filipino Jalen Green in a squad to be coached by Shaw.

The former Ateneo Blue Eaglet is currently honing his game at The Skill Factory in Atlanta to expose himself to tougher competition.

"He could be a facilitator where you can put him on the top of the floor, give him the ball, and let him do dribble hand-offs," said Shaw.

"I see him as a guy that's pretty versatile. Obviously he has to get stronger but I think he can play with his back to the basket as well as facing the basket."
