Sotto is currently with Atlanta-based squad The Skill Factory but has since attracted attention from US NCAA Division 1 schools and the NBA G League select program.

Fil-Am Jalen Green, who has forgone college in favor of the G League select program, was also among the site's selection.

Ballislife organizes an annual All-American game that may include Sotto with his inclusion in the list. 

In its previous editions, the showcase had seen the likes of NBA stars Lonzo Ball and Zach Lavine.
