A newly emerging club, it began at the B3 level and swiftly ascended to B1 in just four years.

With a population of around 230,000 in Saga City and approximately 800,000 in Saga Prefecture, it may be a small market, but the fans are passionate, and the arena is impressive.

In their inaugural season in B1, they achieved an impressive record with 29 wins. With this momentum, it’s exciting to watch when they might clinch the B1 championship.

   

Notable Japanese (Asian) Players to watch

Kosuke Kanamaru(6-3, G/F, Meiji University)

The answer to the question, "Is there a better shooter than Keisei Tominaga?" is YES, and that would be Kanamaru.

In fact, back in the day, foreign players in the B.League unanimously named him as the best Japanese player. If he were a bit younger, he would likely have excelled on Tom Hovasse’s Japan national team and made his way to the NBA.

It's not too late! Check out one of the world's top shooting machines!

   

Notable Foreign (Naturalized) Players to watch

This club also boasts a collection of outstanding players.

   

Reynaldo Garcia(6-2, PG, Cuba)

A very rare Cuban player who has built his professional career in the Americas. Since coming to Japan in 2020, he has served as a leader for Saga.

   

Yoeli Childs(6-8, F, Brigham Young)

The key player from BYU, who competed fiercely with Rui Hachimura in the WCC, has come to Japan! There’s no doubt he will continue to grow and showcase his true abilities.
