Notable Japanese (Asian) Players to watch
Kai Sotto(7-2, C, Philippines)
His arrival was the biggest surprise.
He has NBA potential, but he’s already 22.
Will he follow Kawamura to the NBA?
Notable Foreign (Naturalized) Players to watch
LJ Peak(6-5, G/F, Georgetown)
Even his arrival in Japan was surprising. South Carolina's "Mr. Basketball" has already spent six seasons in the B.League. While he's changed teams each year, this will be his second season with Koshigaya, where he’s now an essential player.
Jeff Gibbs(6-2, F, Otterbein)
The 44-year-old "Iron Man" announced he’ll retire after this season. Salute to the 6'2" player who can battle in the paint!
