When a team has a deep bench, a coach has a better set of options to choose from.

For the Alvark Tokyo, it's abundantly clear that new coach Luka Pavicevic has this luxury. And having two bona-fide stars in Joji Takeuchi and Jawad Williams at power forward is a good "problem" to have.

The Alvark are benefiting from the veteran leadership and excellent fundamentals that are the foundation of both men's game.
