Landen Lucas needs no introduction to die-hard Kansas Jayhawks fans.
But on this side of the Pacific Ocean, it's the perfect time to formally introduce the rookie center to Japan basketball circles.
Lucas is a newcomer on the scene for the Alvark Tokyo, but his collegiate career was synonymous with winning. While the 23-year-old Lucas was at Kansas, the powerhouse Jayhawks won five Big 12 Conference titles, went 147-35 overall and 75-3 at Allen Fieldhouse.
