Expansion squads Bambitious Nara and Aomori Wat's took their first steps in piecing together their rosters for the 2013-14 season on Wednesday.

The Bambitious chose 167-cm point guard Takuma Yamashiro, who put 7.6 ppg in 50 games on the board for the Saitama Broncos last season, with the No. 1 pick in Wednesday’s expansion draft.

With their second selection, Nara drafted 190-cm forward Jumpei Honda, a 24-year-old who averaged 1.6 points in 29 games for the Shiga Lakestars last season.
