Rasheed Sparks picks his spots. He doesn't need to score, but when he does it has a profound impact on his team's success.

Sparks, the Takamatsu Five Arrows' All-Star point guard, had five double-digit scoring games in February. His team went 5-0 in those games, beating the Tokyo Apache and Ryukyu Golden Kings two times apiece and the Sendai 89ers on another occasion.

More times than not, Sparks can control the game at the point, orchestrating his team's high-scoring offense like a conductor dictates the pitch, rhythm and tone of a symphony.
