Toshiba Brave Thunders' Naoto Tsuji is arguably the most prolific player among the NBL's sophomore class in the 2013-14 season.

But it's not because he made a sudden growth in year two. Tsuji quickly came through as a rookie last season playing in the JBL, the NBL's predecessor.

Tsuji, 24, averaged 11.7 points per game to help the Brave Thunders advance to the JBL Finals as their outside threat.
