In 16 games for the Dragonflies, Sotto averaged 10.9 points on 53.7% shooting, 7.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.7 blocks as the team’s starting center.
Since Sotto’s arrival in the Japan B League after a stint with the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League in Australia, he has helped the Dragonflies win 11 of their last 16 outings for a 39-15 record.
