You probably didn't know that Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix newcomer Kevin Galloway attended USC, College of Southern Idaho, Kentucky and Texas Southern before embarking on a pro career last year.
But this much is clear: Galloway is a natural playmaker, as evidenced by his 10.7 assists per game as a Sacramento (California) High School junior, tops in the state, according to published reports. And he provided a clear-cut reminder of that halfway around the world on Sunday.
Galloway dished out 13 assists in the Phoenix's 85-70 victory over the visiting Shimane Susanoo Magic in the bj-league series finale. He also had 18 points, eight rebounds and three steals.
